E166: Where Does God Want Me to Go?: Developing Tools for Discernment
How do I know where God is leading me?
This episode kicks off a new series on After IV. We're exploring a few of the changes we can expect in our faith experience after graduation.
On this episode, clinical counselor and spiritual director Nader Sahyouni joins us to unpack the shift from being driven to being called. Nader introduces listeners to the practice of discernment—not just for big decisions, but as a daily rhythm. He explains the role of consolation and desolation, how to build a personal rule of life, and why our desires—when rightly ordered—can lead us closer to God. Whether you're feeling burned out or just unsure about next steps, this episode offers practical tools for tuning into God's daily invitations.
