In this third and final part of our series on the will of God, Pastors Bryan Harwood and Guy Roberts get practical about what it means to live in God’s will every day.

Instead of focusing only on the “big” decisions—who to marry, where to work, where to live, or what direction to take—this episode looks at the importance of obeying the things God has already made clear in His Word. Rejoicing, praying, giving thanks, controlling our thoughts and words, forgiving others, and becoming more like Christ are all part of walking in God’s will.

Bryan and Guy also share personal stories of times they were seeking God’s direction and how He used prayer, Scripture, circumstances, and even unexpected moments to make His direction clear.

The will of God isn't simply a destination we are trying to reach. It is a journey we walk with Him every day.

So how do we find His will? Stay in His Word. Stay in prayer. Stay close to Him. And be willing to follow wherever He leads.

In this episode of the High Places podcast, we continue our discussion on the will of God by moving from the foundational question of salvation into the practical questions Christians face every day.

Through Romans 8, Romans 12, and 1 Corinthians 6, they explore the difference between God’s sovereign will and His providential working in our lives, while focusing on what Scripture makes clear: God’s ultimate will for the believer is to be conformed to the image of His Son.

Rather than searching for a step-by-step blueprint for every decision, we’re challenged to surrender our lives to God, refuse to be conformed to the world, and allow our minds to be continually transformed by His Word.

The will of God may not always be immediately clear—but we can trust the God who sees the whole picture when we can only see one small piece.

“The just shall live by faith.”

Join us as we continue learning what it means to seek, trust, and live in the will of God.

In this first episode of a three-part topical series, the High Places crew begins tackling one of the questions believers ask most often: How do I know God’s will for my life?

Join us as we talk about why we often approach God’s will as though it’s a destination we have to discover, when Scripture points us toward something much more foundational—a daily walk of faith, grounded in God’s Word.

But before we can talk about God’s will for our decisions, there is one thing we must understand first: God’s will is that we come to know Him. The conversation turns to the Gospel, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the incredible truth that God desires a relationship with mankind.
Whether you’re trying to figure out your future, wrestling with your past, or simply wondering what God wants for your life, this episode points us back to the place where we should always begin: His Word.

And remember: God isn’t working in our past—He’s working in our future.

Now, as we close out Season 2 of *The High Places*, we’re taking a step back and looking at the book of Job as a whole

Why does God allow suffering? What do we do when we don’t understand what He’s doing? What happens when our friends give us answers that don’t actually answer anything? And perhaps most importantly—what do we learn about God when He never gives Job the “why” he desperately wanted?

Job’s story is not a simple explanation for suffering. It’s a reminder that God is sovereign even when we cannot see the bigger picture. It challenges us to examine our assumptions about suffering, our understanding of God, and the way we respond when life doesn’t make sense.

In this season finale, we’ll revisit the major themes of Job, look at what Job got right—and where he was wrong—and consider the incredible truth that emerges when God finally speaks.
Because sometimes faith isn’t about having all the answers.

Sometimes faith is trusting the One who does.

Join us for the final episode of Season 2 of *The High Places* as we take one last look at Job—and the God who was there through every high and every low.

What was Job really about? Why did God allow Job to suffer? What were Job’s friends getting wrong? And what was God trying to accomplish through it all?

In this episode of The High Places, we take a fascinating look at the science woven throughout the book of Job. As God responds to Job, He points him toward the wonders of creation—the foundations of the earth, the depths of the sea, the clouds, the weather, the stars, and the incredible design of the animal kingdom.

Long before modern science could begin to explain many of these things, God was reminding Job of something much greater than the answers to his questions: the Creator knows what He is doing.

This episode explores some of the scientific observations found in Job and what they teach us about God's wisdom, power, and authority over creation.

Sometimes we don't get an answer to our “why.” But when we look at the One who created everything, we can begin to trust the One who knows what we cannot see.

God may not answer every question—but creation itself points us back to the One who has every answer.

Now, in Part 2 of Job's responses, we continue following his emotional and often painful replies to the men who insisted his suffering must be the result of hidden sin.While Job remained steadfast in maintaining his integrity, his words reveal the struggle of a broken man trying to make sense of unimaginable loss.

His frustration, confusion, and despair sometimes led him to speak rashly—even questioning God's dealings with him. Yet through it all, we see an important reminder: God is patient with His children, even when our understanding falls short.

Join us as we continue this "high places" study through the book of Job, examining both the wisdom and the weaknesses found in Job's responses, and discovering timeless truths about faith, suffering, and trusting God when life doesn't make sense.

In this episode of The High Places, we begin examining the words of Job's sympathizers, starting with Eliphaz in Job chapter 4. What began as a ministry of presence quickly became a series of assumptions about Job's suffering. Eliphaz offers advice that sounds wise on the surface, but does it accurately represent God's heart? 

Join us as we explore the difference between comforting the hurting and trying to explain away their pain. Through Eliphaz's response, we learn valuable lessons about compassion, suffering, and the danger of speaking beyond what God has revealed.
