ep 13 “reflections: our life” with john and donna avant

On today’s episode of as we press, I am sitting down with John Avant, President of Life Action Ministries, and his wife, Donna, to talk about knowing God’s will. At times, discerning God's will for our lives at times can seem intimidating, but perhaps it isn’t meant to be. How can we learn how to hear from God and his recognize his leading? Where do we start? How can we practically apply the Bible to our day to day lives and future? What does it look like to live out the call of the Great Commission in the midst of a pandemic, national unrest and protests?

We are talking through these questions and more as we continue in our series on “reflections: our life.” This series is designed to help us reflect on this past year and God’s leading to help navigate where he might be directing us in 2021.

The Avant’s share from their own experiences on how God has called them to deeper faith and trust. Their “yes” to God’s leadings has led them to experience his faithfulness like never before. They also share specific encouragement for pastors and their wives as they talk about this being “one of the hardest times to be in ministry.”

John and Donna have co-authored a book entitled, “Yes Changes Everything” which centers on much of today’s conversation on knowing God’s will and walking out the “yes” that “opens the door to spiritual transformation.” They have also just released “Revive+Restart,” a study on 1 Thessalonians this past week.
