In this episode of I Slay Giants, Joshua dives into the spiritual and practical wisdom behind making God-led decisions. Drawing from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and personal testimony, he explores how surrendering to God’s guidance shapes our choices, protects us from unnecessary hardship, and positions us for divine alignment.

Joshua shares a powerful story from his own life—choosing between an enticing tech sales opportunity abroad and remaining where God was actively working. Through this example, he highlights the importance of discernment, timing, and spiritual maturity when navigating big decisions.

Listeners will learn three foundational principles for wise, spirit-led choices: seeking counsel, aligning decisions with Scripture, and honoring God’s timing. This episode encourages believers to slow down, pray, listen, and trust that God’s path—even when it requires patience—leads to greater blessing than any “shiny new thing” the world offers.
