How do you know the difference between a good idea and a God idea?

And what happens when God's plan isn't the one you would have chosen?

In Episode 6 of Grace in the Grind, we're joined again by Pastor Seth Philip of Waypoint Church in Las Vegas for a conversation about calling, faith, fear, and what it actually looks like to follow God's leading.

Seth shares his journey from helping plant churches in Japan to launching Waypoint Church in Las Vegas — including the places he wanted to go, the unexpected doors that opened, and the lessons he learned about trusting God's direction.

We talk about recognizing opportunities, understanding our gifts, seeking wise counsel, and why discerning God's will doesn't always require a dramatic sign from heaven.

But this conversation isn't just about becoming a pastor or planting a church.

It's about the role every believer has in the Great Commission, how God uses ordinary people with different gifts, and why your story might reach someone in a way a pastor's sermon never could.

One of Seth's biggest challenges to us:

“Why do you need a voice when you already have a verse?”

And his encouragement is just as simple: Take a risk for Jesus. Step through the door. See what God does.
