Today I am sitting down with my friend, Sabrina Miller, who is also sending her daughter, Shelby, off to college…next week!   

Sabrina and I are candidly chatting about our feelings, emotions, and thoughts about our daughters' upcoming launch to college.  We are also learning to counsel our hearts as well as take our emotions to the Lord, the Creator of them.

Even if you don’t find yourself in this season of sending kids off to college or school, I hope you find this episode relevant and encouraging.  Sometimes these changing seasons can be a process as we work through our emotions and bring the whole range of them to the Lord, seeking what He would have for us to learn.

On today’s episode of as we press, I am sitting down with John Avant, President of Life Action Ministries, and his wife, Donna, to talk about knowing God’s will. At times, discerning God's will for our lives at times can seem intimidating, but perhaps it isn’t meant to be. How can we learn how to hear from God and his recognize his leading? Where do we start? How can we practically apply the Bible to our day to day lives and future? What would it look like to live out the call of the Great Commission in the midst of a pandemic, national unrest and protests?

The Avant’s are also sharing from their own experiences on how God has called them to deeper faith and trust. Their “yes” to God’s leadings has led them to experience his faithfulness like never before. They also share specific encouragement for pastors and their wives as they talk about this being “one of the hardest times to be in ministry.”
