from The Branch · host The Tree Church

When is God calling you to step forward in faith, and when is He asking you to step back and trust Him?In this episode of The Branch, Matthew Johnson is joined by Pastors Anthony Lombardi and Pastor Chris Reed to talk through the tension between action and surrender. Sometimes obedience means taking initiative. Other times it means waiting and letting God move. But how do you know the difference?The pastors discuss how personality shapes our instincts, why trust is at the center of discernment, and how to respond when you feel like you’ve missed God. They also explore what to do when God seems silent and why knowing Scripture is essential for rightly hearing His voice.Ultimately, obedience is measured by faithfulness, not immediate results. This conversation will help you navigate decisions with confidence rooted in relationship with God.Watch the full episode on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYgunr46cu0
