0:00.0	I'm often asked, how do I know God's will or how do I discover God's calling on my life?
0:08.3	I love those conversations. And today, we're going to explore that together. Stay with me.
0:17.7	Thanks for joining us for this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram.
0:22.6	Chip's our Bible teacher for this international teaching and discipleship ministry focused on helping Christians live like Christians.
0:29.6	Well, in just a minute, we'll wrap up our newest series we've called Bio, three essential practices to becoming more like Jesus.
