Episode 17 - Trusting God’s Plan and Building a Gospel-Centered Life with Pastor Joseph Henderson

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Anderson discusses how to trust and build trust in God. He reads from Zephaniah chapter three, which talks about rejoicing and exalting because God has removed our guilt and dwells among us.

He emphasizes that waiting on God is important, and moving when God calls us is crucial to fulfilling our calling. The foundation of hearing from God is creating a habit of being with Him regularly and checking what we feel like God has said with humility against His Word, the Holy Spirit, our community, and our circumstances.
