What do you do when you genuinely want to follow God's will but aren't certain what He's telling you to do? Maybe you've prayed, sought wise counsel and searched Scripture, yet you're still afraid of making the wrong decision. Or perhaps you believed God was leading you in a particular direction, stepped forward in obedience and encountered unexpected obstacles that left you questioning whether you heard Him correctly.

In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Jennifer Slattery talks with author and Bible teacher Jenny Randle about overcoming the fear of getting God's will wrong and moving forward with confidence even when we lack clarity. Through personal stories and biblical encouragement, they explore how our understanding of God's character influences our decisions, why uncertainty can deepen our relationship with Him and how to recognize His guidance without becoming paralyzed by perfectionism. Jenny also shares practical questions to consider when facing important decisions and reminds us that God remains faithful, even when we don't get everything right.

When God seems silent, especially during painful or frightening seasons, we might wonder if He's distant, disappointed in us or simply doesn't care.
