Today’s episode is for anyone who’s been waiting for God to show the whole plan before taking the next step. My guest is Jessica DeYoung (Made Whole Movement, Perspectives into Practice), and we talk about obedience that trusts God one step at a time. We get super practical on discernment, like how to tell fear from God’s leading, why relief isn’t the same as peace, and what it looks like to move forward when you don’t have the full map.
In Episode 114 of Halfway to Sunday, Jill sits down with Jessica DeYoung (founder of the Made Whole Movement and host of Perspectives into Practice) to talk about obedience when you don’t have the full picture. Jessica shares a simple but challenging truth: obedience comes before clarity. God often gives the next step, not the whole map. Together they unpack how to discern God’s voice in real life, including a practical three-part filter: does it align with Scripture, does it produce peace over time, and does it require trust? Jill and Jessica also discuss how fear can masquerade as “wisdom,” why relief isn’t the same as peace, and how doing nothing can still be a form of disobedience. The conversation is a reset for anyone feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure, inviting listeners to deepen relationship with God and take the next faithful step.
