As we move into the final stretch of the year, many of us are planning, strategizing, and seeking God’s will for our businesses and lives. But how do you know if you're truly in alignment with God?

Key Takeaways:

2. Peace as Confirmation: Why our emotions are not reliable indicators of being in God’s will and how to recognize the settledness of the Holy Spirit.
3. Practical Tips: Characteristics of God’s peace to help you confidently move forward in His purpose for your life and business.
