How to Know When It's God's Will | Shannon O'Dell

In Week 3 of Voices and Choices, Pastor Shannon O’Dell teaches on how to hear God’s voice so you can make the right choices. The voices you listen to will always shape the direction of your life — but hearing God requires more than just wanting clarity. It requires dropping distractions, aligning your life with God’s Word, seeking wise counsel, stepping out in faith, and staying faithful even when the excitement wears off.

Through the story of Joseph, we’re reminded that God may give you the dream, but He may not give you every detail. Sometimes He withholds the full picture so your faith can grow. The calling may be bigger than you, harder than you expected, and tied to more people than you realize — but if God spoke it, stay with it.

Don’t quit on what God called you to. Write it down. Seek wisdom. Watch God work. And keep choosing obedience.
