Frequently Asked Questions

How do I discover God's plan for my life?

God's plan unfolds through relationship with Him. Seek Him in prayer and His Word, serve where you're planted, develop the gifts He's given you, listen to wise counsel, and pay attention to the desires He places in your heart. His plan is discovered in the journey, not just the destination.

What if I've messed up God's plan?

God's plan is not so fragile that your mistakes can destroy it. He is sovereign over human error. Romans 8:28 promises He works all things for good. Think of Joseph — his brothers' evil was woven into God's plan for salvation (Genesis 50:20). Your mistakes don't disqualify you from God's purposes.
