What Is God’s Will for My Life? Obedience, Prayer, and Trusting His Plan | Ep. 009

Many believers ask the same question at some point in their journey:
“What is God’s will for my life?”

In this episode of the Christ Centered Stewardship podcast, Maria Casillas and Nino Villa explore the often-confusing relationship between God’s will, His purpose, and our individual calling. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical examples, they discuss why God’s will is often more about who we are becoming than the specific outcomes we are trying to control.

This conversation addresses:

• The difference between God’s will, purpose, and calling

• God’s perfect will versus His permissive will

• Why obedience can feel intimidating but leads to growth

• How prayer shapes our understanding and trust

• The role of consequences, free will, and God’s faithfulness

The episode also includes an “Ask the Coaches” segment reflecting on advice they would give their younger selves, emphasizing trust, patience, and cooperation with God’s provision over time.

Rather than offering quick answers, this episode invites listeners into a deeper posture of prayer, obedience, and ongoing communication with God.

The next time worry surfaces, pause and pray.
