Hi Friend,

How do you know whether an opportunity is really God's will—or just your own idea?

A new Footsteps to Heaven podcast episode has been published. This time I chat with Philippe Monfiston about his journey of discernment as a husband, father of four, Catholic entrepreneur, and participant in the Tepeyac Leadership Initiative.

In this issue of Ministry Excellence:
Are You Waiting for a Sign from God?

Philippe is a good example of how God guides us through prayer, community, and the small steps of faith that open the door to His plan. We cover:

• How to recognize when God is calling you to something new
• Why fear of making a mistake can keep us spiritually stuck
• The importance of seeking wisdom from family and faith-filled community
• How God often confirms His will by opening and closing doors
• Why taking “baby steps” can lead to great things

If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really God’s will for me?”, this conversation will encourage and inspire you.

Remember, you don’t have to have everything figured out before taking the next step. God is faithful, and He knows the plans He has for you.

Philippe says:

"One of the things that held me back was wondering whether it was God's will or just me wanting God to rubber stamp my plans. It's a good concern to have, but I feel like in a lot of ways it paralyzed me because I was so afraid that it was the latter that I almost took no steps at all."

Find out how he is moving ahead in God's plans with confidence and faith.

Maybe you know someone else who could use this help. Please recommend this workbook to your friends, family, social media followers, young adults at church, your parish faith formation director, and young men who would make awesome priests.
