How do we discern God’s perfect will in our lives amidst the chaos of everyday challenges? Pastor Steve Gray and Kathy Gray invite you to explore this profound question through the lens of Romans 12:1-2, sharing their own transformative journey of faith and ministry. With over 50 years of shared experiences, they reveal how living as sacrifices and shedding worldly patterns can guide us to a deeper understanding of divine purpose. Kathy reflects on their marriage and ministry, offering heartfelt stories and principles that showcase the power of proactive faith—a faith that acts deliberately rather than merely reacting to life’s circumstances.

Key Takeaways:

  • Transforming your life through faith involves actively renewing your mind and refining your mindset to align with biblical teachings.
  • Reactive faith differs from proactive faith; success in faith requires preset actions and a deep understanding of God’s will.
  • The Grays emphasize that everyone inherently knows the will of God, which is centered on character development and spiritual transformation.
  • Adversities and challenges serve as a testing ground to prove God’s will, which transcends situational circumstances.
  • The journey of faith involves understanding God’s will through a transformed character, allowing believers to engage in kingdom work effectively.
