Don’t Forget to Pray: Discerning The Call and Whatnot
Welcome to Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates. I’m an entrepreneur, coach, ordained minister, spiritual advisor, writer, and so much more. Join me weekly on Wednesdays as we grow and live together in community.

Discernment is the ability to make well-informed and perceptive decisions. It involves the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, or truth and deceit, by carefully analyzing the underlying nuances. Discernment is often closely associated with judgment, wisdom, insight, or the ability to perceive that which isn't immediately apparent.In a spiritual context, discernment is seen as the process of understanding and making decisions in line with one's spiritual or religious beliefs. It involves sensing or understanding matters at a deeper, often spiritual or metaphysical, level. Spiritual discernment is often linked to intuition, inner guidance, and aligning oneself with higher spiritual truths. It helps individuals make choices that align with their spiritual journey and overall purpose.

For me, one of the tools in the discernment process is prayer. Whatever you are discerning, remember to pray. This was the wisdom that I shared with a group of young adults who are discerning their next steps regarding what God is calling them to and who God is calling them to be. Or perhaps, what God is calling them towards, and what God is calling them away form.

As always, I thank you for listening. Ways to Support and engage this Podcast
