How does God talk to you?

Most Christians, especially most Catholics, were taught how to say prayers.

But I don't think we're taught how to pray. And there's a vast difference between the two of those. My sense of it is a lot of people aren't really living the amazing adventure that God has planned for them. I think everybody wants to be great and I think most people are afraid of being great. Everybody listening to this episode right now wants to do a check.

Am I on the adventure that you want me on?

Am I on the mission you want me on?

Lord. agree. And I think most people are afraid of being great. If everybody listening to this episode right now wants to do a check, am I on the adventure that you want me on, am I on the mission you want me on, Lord, how should they discern that? We think there's actually a principle, and then we think there's a method of applying the principle. The principle is simply this. That is such a great four-step process. I was going to say, it works, but he works. It's so good. I love that. Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for

Father John Ricardo, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you. It's a joy to be with you. I'm so happy you're here. Thanks. I, when as soon as we started talking, I thought, because I was praying this morning, like what, what are the, there's so many topics to discuss with you. You've written books. You've given so many talks, speeches, you train people but the one that you're wearing your socks about,

your socks. You kind of want to, can we show the socks? Talk about Joan. Can we show the sock?

You've got the Joan of our socks on. Yeah. Why did you wear her socks today? Well, I, so I do know

that she's your confirmation saint, but I totally forgot that when I put them on. So Joan is our patroness in

Acts 29 aside from our lady in a very special way. And yeah, in a crazy way. I forget who it is

who first said it. But sometimes we pick saints. Sometimes saints pick us. And with Joan, it was very much picked by her in my life and in ours

in our ministry. I can't wait to hear more about that. The topic of today, we're going to get

into a lot of topics, but purpose and discernment. And you do incredible work training people on

both of these things, how to pray, what to pray for, how to pray with others to figure out what God is calling us to do.
