Have you ever wondered how to recognize God’s voice in the middle of everyday life?

What does it actually look like to walk in discernment in our everyday lives? In part two of our series on discernment, we’re talking about godly wisdom and what it means to put discernment into practice—not just in the big decisions, but in the everyday moments, conversations, and choices we face. God doesn’t just call us to hear His voice. He invites us to walk in His wisdom. As we stay close to Him, He teaches us how to recognize what is true, make wise choices, and respond to life with clarity and confidence. Discernment isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about learning to walk closely with the One who does.

When everything around you feels loud, can you still recognize the voice of God? In this episode of the Candy Gibbs Podcast, we’re talking about what it looks like to hear God clearly, stay grounded when everything around you feels chaotic, and learn to discern His voice above the noise. You don’t have to be moved by everything happening around you. When you abide in Him, you can learn to see clearly, hear clearly, and walk forward with confidence.

Following Jesus isn’t just about what we believe, it’s about how we live. In this week’s episode, Jake brings a powerful word on what it means to truly follow Jesus and live as a servant of the Gospel. When the old is gone and the new has come, everything changes—our identity, our priorities, and the way we live. “The old has passed away, and the new has come.” Get ready to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that following Jesus is a daily invitation to live differently, love deeply, and carry the Gospel wherever we go.

Our sonogram ministry at Hope Choice is one of the most life-saving resources we provide. Often times, when a woman comes through our doors, she has a "problem." But when she steps into the sono room, and sees that baby sucking it's thumb and moving around on the screen, it's now "her baby." Over the last several years, of the women that come in intending to abort their baby, 99% have a change of heart and choose life following a sonogram.  Tune in and hear from the women who are boots on the ground in this part of the ministry!
