Could that be God's guidance?\n\nElder Sarita Bernadette continues her teaching on God's guidance by exploring what she calls the divine nudge — that quiet prompting of the Holy Spirit that can lead us toward faithful action.\n\nThrough the biblical accounts of Philip and the Ethiopian official, and Paul's journey toward Macedonia, Sarita reminds us that God's direction doesn't always follow our original plans.\n\nShe also offers practical questions to help us discern whether a prompting aligns with God's Word, reflects His character, and leads us toward obedience.\n\nIn This Episode:\nUnderstanding the divine or holy nudge\nRecognizing the Holy Spirit's guidance\nLearning from Philip's obedience in Acts 8\nUnderstanding closed doors and redirected plans in Acts 16\nDiscerning God's guidance through Scripture, prayer, peace, and wise counsel\n\nScripture References:\nIsaiah 30:21; Psalm 32:8; Acts 8:26–40; Acts 16:6–10; Matthew 24:14\n\nKey Takeaway:\nGod's guidance calls us beyond simply knowing what is right. It invites us to trust Him enough to act.\n\nEnjoying Joy In Every Step?\nFollow the podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so you never miss a new teaching from Elder Sarita Bernadette.\nFor Scripture-centered encouragement throughout the week, join our free Weekly Steps of Joy email community at joyineverystep.org.\nStay Connected\nWebsite: https://www.joyineverystep.org\nInstagram: @joyineverystep.org1\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577893053121\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JoyInEveryStepPodcast\nBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/joyineverystep.bsky.social\n\nNew episodes every Friday.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1oE6y58pnnNmf_jBXQT3an2DnZzwMhGjAvEzSMqFwsk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84YTI0/MTljZTUwMzJlMGM0/ZDg3YTg5ZDMzN2Mz/MGMyNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
