How do I know what God wants me to do? How can I be sure that my choices are in line with His? Can I ever truly know God’s will in any specific situation?

One of the most perplexing issues that has dogged many Christians is their inability to discover what God's specific will may be for their lives at any given point. Questions like which job should I take? Which person should I marry? Where should I live? Or what should I invest in? etc. have caused perennial headaches (if not heartaches) for many believers.

In this week's episode, the Curious team tries to unpack what it means to appreciate the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives. They reflect on the two levels of leading the New Testament maps out: the general, macro level alongside the specific, micro level. Avoiding the trap of assuming the Spirit’s leading to be some systemised formula, the team outline basic, biblically common-sense principles for discovering the Holy Spirit's leading.
