Knowing "God's Will" For My Life. Today we spend time talking about some oft used Christian rhetoric: What is God's will for my life? God gave me a 'word' for you... God told me...

As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue. Always feel free to email in questions to hello@voxpodcast.com, and to engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram.
