In today’s video, I address five obstacles to continued clarity and give five simple ways to overcome them. I share these from first-hand experience–situations my wife and I have recently walked through ourselves. I hope they can be helpful to you as you continue in your journey.
Do you ever find it difficult to make decisions? Have you ever wondered what God’s will for your life might be? In this video, we wrestle through what it looks like to discover your purpose for life.
Everyone deserves to live with clarity because God did not intend for us to live in confusion. He intended for us to live in peace.
Sometimes a man feels in his heart to do something he doesn’t necessarily know whether is of God or his own ambition. And if he actually does it, many will debate whether it was right or wrong.
When a man communes with God he will have passions laid on his heart that feel an awfully lot like personal ambition, but is indeed from God.
And when he feels that prompting, burden, passion—whatever you want to call it—he must do something about it even if it’s not going to be a popular move.
Discovering God’s plan, His unique will for you and I, our destiny—whatever you want to call it—is a journey. One just like sports teams take to mature and become championship quality. It’s not as basic as whispering a few prayers and poof! Now we know what to do.
So what can we learn about this journey in discovering God’s will for our lives?
By the very fact that it’s a journey, I’m sure it takes a lifetime to learn. But following are a few thoughts I have about the journey thus far.
Three years ago my wife and I were asked to teach school in Thailand. The opportunity excited us. We had met in Asia and both of us left a bit of our hearts there. But the question we wrestled with was whether it is actually God’s will for us to move back to Thailand, or whether it’s just our own selfish desire?
On one hand, it seemed ridiculous because we lived in Los Angeles and were heavily involved in ministry. Why would we leave? On the other hand, what if this request was God introducing a better opportunity for us? Or what if we were just infatuated with Asia?
In this post I reflect on five truths I’ve discovered about finding God’s direction for our future.
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” -Martin Luther King Jr. Whether we realize it or not, I think we all have dreams. Some of them […]
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
