E842 | What Is God Up To in Your Life? - Part 1
September 22, 2025
This three-part series kicks off with John and Blaine Eldredge talking about the lost art of noticing what God is up to in our lives—not just today but over time. While clarity is essential, the ultimate goal is to come into alignment with what God is doing. How do we do that? In Part 1, John and Blaine lay a solid foundation by revealing three specific suppositions for discerning God’s work in our lives so we can join him there. Show Notes: The books referenced are The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis, Now and Then by Frederick Buechner, and The Inner Chamber and the Inner Life by Andrew Murray. The “3 Presuppositions for Discerning God’s Work in Your Life” are: 1) God is speaking to all people at all times. 2) Most people don’t learn to discern God’s work in isolation. 3) God is interested in intimacy—and that means conversation, not observation. _______________________________________________ There is more.
