    Episode #47 How Do I Know God Is Leading Me?

    In Episode 47 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our series on discovering God’s will by asking one of the most common questions Christians face: How do I know God is leading me? The Bible tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously to those who seek Him (James 1:5 NKJV). In this episode, we explore the difference between peace, wisdom, and discernment, and why our emotions alone are not enough to determine God’s direction. We also discuss the role of the Holy Spirit, the importance of Scripture, and how God develops spiritual discernment as we walk faithfully with Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re making the right decision or following God’s leading, this episode will encourage you to seek His wisdom and trust His guidance. Next episode, we’ll conclude this series by talking about trusting God when you don’t understand His plan. Stay close to Jesus and keep seeking Him daily.

    Episode #46. How Do I Know If God Is Opening a Door?

    In Episode 46 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our series on discovering God’s will for our lives. Many Christians wonder whether an opportunity is truly from God. Is every open door a sign from Him? And what does it mean when a door suddenly closes? In this episode, we talk about discernment, seeking God’s direction, and why not every opportunity is necessarily God’s will. We also discuss how closed doors can sometimes be God’s protection, even when we don’t understand it at the time. The Bible says, “In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:6 NKJV) If you’re facing a big decision or struggling to understand a closed door in your life, this episode will encourage you to trust God’s guidance and timing.

    Episode #45 Prayer and Seeking God

    In Episode 45 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our series on discovering God’s will for our lives. Many Christians want to know God’s direction, but sometimes we focus so much on finding answers that we forget to seek God Himself. The Bible says, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV) In this episode, we talk about the importance of prayer, spending time with God, learning to listen, and developing patience while waiting for His guidance. We also discuss why prayer is more than asking for answers—it’s about building a relationship with God and learning to trust Him one step at a time. Next episode, we’ll talk about open doors, closed doors, and spiritual discernment. Stay close to Jesus and keep seeking Him daily.

    Episode #44 God Speaks Through Scripture

    In Episode 44 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our series on discovering God’s will for our lives. Many Christians want direction from God, but sometimes we overlook one of the biggest ways He already speaks to us… through Scripture. The Bible says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105 NKJV) In this episode, we talk about why God’s Word is essential for spiritual guidance, how Scripture shapes our decisions, and why God’s direction will never contradict His Word. We also discuss the importance of spending consistent time in the Bible and how daily reading helps believers grow in wisdom, discernment, and obedience. If you’ve been praying for direction in your life, this episode will encourage you to stay grounded in God’s Word while seeking His will. Next episode, we’ll continue the series by talking about prayer and seeking God personally. Stay close to Jesus and keep seeking Him daily.

    Episode # 43 What Is God’s Will?

    In Episode 43 of The Rookie Christian, we begin a brand new series about discovering God’s will for our lives. During church services, through Christian radio, and while reading In Search of God’s Will by Trevor Hudson, one question kept coming up: What exactly is God’s will… and how do we know it? For many new believers, this topic can feel confusing. Christians often say things like “seek God’s will” or “follow His direction,” but what does that actually look like in everyday life? In this episode, we talk about how discovering God’s will begins with seeking Him first, trusting Him daily, and staying grounded in Scripture. The Bible says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5–6 NKJV) This episode is the foundation for a new series focused on learning how God leads His people. Stay close to Jesus and keep seeking Him daily.

    Episode #42 Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow Me (Psalm 23:6)

    In Episode 42 of The Rookie Christian, we finish our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 6. The Bible says, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6 NKJV) This verse is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness, mercy, and eternal promises. No matter what season of life we face, His goodness and mercy continue to follow those who belong to Him. In this episode, we talk about God’s grace through every stage of life, the confidence believers can have in Him, and the hope of dwelling with the Lord forever. We also reflect on how Psalm 23 begins with the Shepherd and ends with eternal security in God’s presence. Thank you for walking through this Psalm 23 series with me.

    Episode #41 A Table in the Presence of My Enemies (Psalm 23:5)

    In Episode 41 of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 5. The Bible says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.” (Psalm 23:5 NKJV) This verse reminds us that God’s peace and provision are not dependent on perfect circumstances. Even in the middle of pressure, opposition, and difficult situations, God is still present, still providing, and still blessing His people. In this episode, we talk about trusting God during difficult seasons, recognizing His faithfulness, and understanding what it means to have a cup that truly overflows. If you’ve been overwhelmed by the struggles around you, this message will encourage you to focus on the ways God is still working in your life. Next episode, we’ll finish our Psalm 23 series with verse 6. Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.

    Episode #40. Walking Through the Valley (Psalm 23:4)

    In this episode of The Rookie Christian, we continue our Psalm 23 series by breaking down verse 4. The Bible says, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me.” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV) This verse reminds us that even as followers of Christ, we will face difficult seasons. There will be valleys, fear, uncertainty, and moments where life feels heavy. But we are never alone, God walks with us through it all. In this episode, we talk about trusting God in hard times, finding peace in His presence, and remembering that the valley is not where we stay… it’s something we walk through. If you’re going through a difficult season right now, this message is for you. Next episode, we’ll continue with Psalm 23:5. Stay close to Jesus and keep walking with the Shepherd.
