The BIBLICAL Formula for Unlocking GOD’S WILL For Your Life | Live Free with Josh Howerton
7/6/20261 hr 31 min
Can you really know God’s will for your life, or is it something you’re supposed to guess your way into?
In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastor Josh Howerton, Pastor Paul Cunningham, and Carlos Erazo dive deep into Exodus 3, the burning bush, the name of God, and the calling of Moses. From the meaning of Yahweh to the biblical framework for discovering your calling, this conversation unpacks how God reveals Himself, redirects our priorities, and calls ordinary people into eternal purpose.
They also discuss the gospel hidden throughout the Exodus story, why Jesus shows up in the Old Testament, how to discern God’s will through ability, affinity, and opportunity, and why more high-profile intellectuals and scientists are beginning to seriously reconsider faith.
In This Episode
- The secret meaning behind God’s name, Yahweh
- Why the burning bush points to Jesus

We obsess over the what, and then we forget about the who has called you.

Yeah. What God wants to do is not dependent upon who you are, but on who God is and what he wants to do.
