Josiah shares how his vocation hasn’t been one dramatic “yes,” but rather a series of small yeses, each requiring him to surrender his desire for control and trust God with the next step.\nTogether, they talk about discernment, surrender, the desire to know what comes next, and learning to trust that we don't have to see the whole path—we just have to take the next step God puts in front of us.\n\nWhether you're discerning a vocation, making a big decision, or simply trying to follow God more faithfully, Josiah's story is a beautiful reminder that God often leads us one yes at a time.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dhy2ecBai6Y8pZCqMMADpxsAwDHWtQoE36ZwKrxshY0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNzA2/ZDMwMGJkODA0NGYx/ZmU2NjNlODA2MmNk/NzA1Yy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
