The ladies of LoveTalk - Cathy Endebrock, Kerri Brinkoeter, and Marlene McMichael - discuss the difference between "Certainty" and "Clarity." While we may take comfort in life decisions that are certain and under our control, God seldom gives us a detailed roadmap for the future. Instead, He asks us to move forward one step at a time. If we have clarity that God is directing us into a direction, we should move forward with confidence as we step out in faith. The outcome may be uncertain, but the clear knowledge of God's direction should give us the comfort we need to keep moving.

Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock, Kerri Brinkoeter, and Marlene McMichael dig into the story of Gideon in Judges 6. Gideon is known for being an unlikely leader. In fact, Gideon was afraid and resistent, but he responded to God's call to save Israel. The unlikely Gideon decided to “go in the strength he had.” Although our own life experiences may be filled with hurt and trauma, God does not want us to live as victims. As He did Gideon, God sees us as overcomers. Gideon's triumph attests to just how much God can do with a few small steps of faith.
