When you sense God might be speaking to you, what’s your first instinct? Pause and listen carefully — I don’t want to miss it. Fall to my knees in awe and pray for courage. Start figuring out what I can do about it. Rethink everything — my whole direction might need to change. Try to ignore it for a bit and hope it passes.

Which of these best describes your relationship with God’s timing? I try to wait patiently and trust His voice. I get fired up quickly and want to move right away. I like to stay busy while I figure it out. I’ve learned that God’s timing can turn my life upside down — and I’m okay with that. I sometimes resist when His timing disrupts my plans.

Where do you most often encounter God’s presence? In the quiet moments — prayer, Scripture, solitude. In worship, beauty, or powerful spiritual experiences. In daily life and work — God meets me in the ordinary. In moments of change, challenge, or transformation. In hindsight — I tend to notice God was there after the fact.

When God asks you to step out of your comfort zone, how do you respond? Cautiously, but I’m willing to follow His lead. Boldly — “Here I am, send me!” I hesitate for a second, then jump in. I go all in — my life’s direction might never be the same. I wrestle with it… sometimes running the other way first.

How do you discern whether what you’re sensing is really from God? I pray and seek wise counsel. I test it against Scripture and the Spirit’s prompting in worship. I look for confirmation through action and results. I watch for life-changing conviction that aligns with God’s mission. I usually resist first — but eventually, clarity comes through experience.

What most motivates your obedience to God’s call? Faithfulness — I just want to please Him. Passion — I want my life to display His glory. Love — I want to serve others like He’s served me. Purpose — I’m driven to accomplish what He’s set before me. Mercy — I’m grateful He hasn’t given up on me.

Which of these best describes your current season of life? Listening and learning to recognize God’s voice. Feeling inspired and ready to say yes to something new. Living out faith in practical, everyday ways. Experiencing a big shift or redirection in purpose. Trying to reconcile what I feel called to with where I actually am.

When challenges come after saying yes to God, what do you tend to do? Stay steady in prayer and wait for clarity. Press on — I believe He’ll strengthen me. Keep working — I trust it’ll sort out as I go. See it as refining fire that deepens my faith. Question whether I heard Him right and want to retreat.

If someone asked, “What’s God calling you to do right now?”, your honest answer would be: “I’m listening and trying to understand.” “Something big — I can feel it coming.” “To serve faithfully where I already am.” “To step into a bold new season of transformation.” “To stop running and finally say yes.”
