Part 1 here
While thankful for the many voices that speak into our Christian experience…Christ is in you. Follow His leadership first.
One confusing point and overreaction for many is in regards to their purpose or mission.
The wisdom of the day encourages an emphasis on discerning where is God working in one’s external circumstances. Find where God is working around you and join Him there or something like that.
The problem is that this keeps the focus on the mission.
I can tell you where God is at work. Always. He is at work conforming you to the image of His Son Jesus Christ. He is always at work building your identity. The enemy is at work lobbing lies into your identity. This is the battleground. Look for the internal clues.
A secure identity will overflow to a clear and focused mission…just like it did for Jesus.
Focus your discernment and exploration on who God is building you to be. Then you’ll have clarity in the what you are to do.
