How do you actually know God’s will for your life—and what do you do when you feel completely stuck?

In Episode 4 of Ask A Pastor, we tackle one of the most honest and relatable questions people wrestle with: not wanting God’s will, but knowing it. From big life decisions like career and relationships to the everyday question of “what’s next?”, this conversation gets real about the tension of feeling unsure, stuck, or even like God is silent.

The truth? God’s will isn’t a hidden blueprint you’re trying to figure out—it’s a relationship He’s inviting you to walk in.

In this episode, we break down what God’s will is (and isn’t), and give you a clear, practical framework for how God actually guides your life through Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and His peace. You’ll also learn why God reveals His will step by step—not all at once—and how obedience often comes before clarity.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will help you reframe that season. Being stuck isn’t failure—it may be God forming something deeper in you. We’ll walk through how to pause, check your heart, return to listening, and take small, faith-filled steps forward—even when you don’t have all the answers.

Plus, we’ll give you a simple daily rhythm you can start today to help you stay connected to God and confident in your next step.

You’re not stuck because God is absent. He may be closer than you think.

Lean in, listen close, and take your next step.

Why do you come to church?

Is it tradition… community… a good cup of coffee… or something deeper?

In this episode of the Hope Church Podcast, we explore a powerful question that goes beyond routine and gets to the heart of our faith. Walking through Luke 24 and the ascension of Jesus, this message unpacks why what happened after the resurrection matters just as much as the cross itself.

You’ll discover four key truths:

• Jesus’ work is finished — the sacrifice has already been made, once and for all.
• Our work has begun — we’ve been given a mission: to share the Good News with the world.
• We’re not doing it alone — the Holy Spirit empowers and equips us every step of the way.
• There should be evidence — a Spirit-filled life produces real, visible fruit.

This message is both encouraging and challenging, reminding us that church isn’t just a place we go—it’s a launching point for how we live. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or you’re still figuring it out, this episode will help you understand your purpose and how to walk it out with confidence.

The question is simple:
Are you just attending… or are you stepping into the mission God has given you?

Listen in and be encouraged to live with purpose, power, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

If God is good… why does life hurt so much?

In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we take on one of the most honest—and hardest—questions people ask: Why does God allow suffering? Because this isn’t just a theological debate… It’s deeply personal. It’s about loss, betrayal, sickness, injustice, and the prayers that seem to go unanswered.

We don’t offer shallow answers. Instead, we wrestle with this question the way the Bible does—openly, honestly, and with hope.

You’ll hear:

• Why even Scripture makes space for our hardest questions
• How to think about suffering in a world where God is both good and powerful
• What the Bible actually teaches about pain, free will, and a broken world
• How God meets us in our suffering—not from a distance
• Why the cross stands as the ultimate proof that God is both loving and involved

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can still trust God while you’re hurting, this conversation is for you.

Because while we may not understand everything we’re walking through… we can trust the One who walks with us.

Key takeaway:
If God can turn the cross into redemption, He can redeem your pain, too.
