What is Discernment?
To discern the movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to listen for God's voice and to grow in God's wisdom. We are constantly discerning the next steps. Sometimes the next steps take us miles away; sometimes the next steps take us miles inside. But all of our steps take us in a direction. As God trains you in the way you should go, and as you seek to stay in that way, you are invited to learn from others who are on the journey. Listen. Talk. Read. Sing. Pray. Journal. And do all of this knowing that you are not alone.
