Summary

How do you make decisions when you’re unsure if it’s truly God’s will or just your own desires leading the way? In this episode, I sit down with Chrystal Evans Hurst to talk about the tension between confidence and surrender—because even when we think we’re making the right choice, we still have to trust and yield to God. Chrystal shares powerful wisdom on how to move forward in faith, even when God seems silent, and why we don’t have to fear making the wrong decision. If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wished for a flashing sign from heaven, this conversation is for you.
