Christian Woman Leadership Podcast with Esther Littlefield & Holly Cain: 117: Discerning the Voice of God and Making Spirit-Led Decisions with Jenny Randle

117: Discerning the Voice of God and Making Spirit-Led Decisions with Jenny Randle

Sep 15, 2020

Have you ever struggled to discern the voice of God amidst all the other voices, including your own? Do you have trouble making decisions and feeling confident that they are in line with God’s will?

As leaders, hearing the voice of God is of utmost importance, not just for our own lives, but also as we lead others. But sometimes it can be difficult to discern God’s voice and determine where He is leading us.

In this episode, my guest Jenny Randle shares with us about some of the things that hold us back from hearing God’s voice, why it’s so vital for us to listen to God as Christian women leaders, and what a healthy theology of the Holy Spirit looks like.

In addition, Jenny shares her 7 question checklist for making decisions which is SO helpful in making some of the big decisions in life. Jenny and I also discuss the importance that church and spiritual leadership has in our lives plus what to do when what your leadership says is different from what you sense God telling you.
