    In this special episode of the Rooted Discipleship Podcast, Walker Davis goes solo for a sneak peek into Chad Gott’s new book, Discerning the Voice of God: Walking 40 Miles in 40 Days. Walker reads through the introduction, explains the heart behind the book, and walks through the first two days of the 40-day walking devotional. The book was born out of Chad’s recovery from hip surgery, when what began as a physical walking challenge became a powerful season of spiritual growth and learning to listen for God’s voice. During the sneak peek, Walker shares how the book combines Scripture, reflection, prayer, journaling, and intentional walking to help believers slow down, quiet the noise of everyday life, and grow in their ability to recognize and follow God’s leading. The book also emphasizes testing everything against Scripture and seeking wise counsel as we discern God’s will. Walker walks listeners through Day 1, “God Longs to Reveal Himself to You,” and Day 2, “God’s Sheep Recognize His Voice,” including the Scriptures, reflections, prayers, walking goals, and questions designed to help readers reflect during their walks. Whether you're new to your faith, walking through a difficult season, or simply looking to deepen your relationship with God, this episode offers a glimpse into a practical discipleship journey designed to help you spend intentional time with God while getting active.

Together, they examine how believers are called to use their gifts, resources, and opportunities to serve God’s kingdom rather than allowing them to remain unused. The conversation begins by unpacking the biblical principle of stewardship, emphasizing that everything we have—our time, abilities, finances, relationships, and even our homes—ultimately belongs to God. Walker and Chad discuss how recognizing God’s ownership changes the way believers approach every aspect of life and encourages them to faithfully use what He has provided for His glory. As they work through the parable, they offer practical ways to multiply the gifts God has given by taking initiative, bringing their best effort, overcoming fear, and continually growing in the areas where God has uniquely gifted them. Through examples from Scripture—including David, Esther, Moses, and Paul—they remind listeners that God often works through ordinary people who are simply willing to take the next faithful step. The discussion concludes with practical encouragement for discovering and developing the gifts God has placed in each believer.

As Paul reminds Timothy why he wrote this letter, the conversation focuses on what it means for the church to be the pillar and foundation of God’s truth in the world. The discussion begins with Paul’s description of the church as the household of God. Walker and Chad unpack the difference between viewing the church as a building versus understanding it as the body of believers called to faithfully represent Christ. They emphasize the responsibility every Christian has to uphold the truth of the gospel through both their words and the way they live. As they work through Paul’s beautiful summary of the gospel in 1 Timothy 3:16, they reflect on the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. They discuss how God’s plan of redemption, once hidden throughout the Old Testament, was fully revealed through Christ and continues to be proclaimed to the nations today. The conversation then turns to Paul’s warning about false teachers and the dangers of drifting from biblical truth. Walker and Chad explain how legalism, distorted doctrine, and teachings that add to or subtract from Scripture can lead people away from the gospel. They encourage listeners to remain rooted in God’s Word, carefully examine what they are being taught, and remember that salvation comes through faith in Christ alone—not through religious performance or human traditions. Ultimately, this episode serves as a reminder that the church exists to faithfully proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ.
