What does God want?! Rules for discernme...

Chris Stefanick | Real Life Catholic
About this episode

Even the most faithful Catholics struggle with discernment.

Figuring out what God wants can really stress you out. But when you develop your discernment skills, you can relax. There’s no peace like knowing you’re in tune with God’s will.

That’s why it’s so cool to have Fr. Timothy Gallagher with us! He’s spent years deep-diving into Ignatian prayer and the Rules for Discernment. He’s also written some excellent books of discernment advice, which you’re going to hear from.

If you’ve ever felt like flinging your arms out and yelling up to the heavens “God, what do you WANT?!?” then listen to this!
