Step Into Bold Faith: Grow closer to God & Walk with Jesus

6. What Does God Want Us to Do?

October 05, 2025 • Whitney Gardner • Episode 6

In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I answer one of the most important questions we can ask: What does God actually want us to do with our lives?

And it isn’t about chasing perfection or checking off a list of rules. It’s about building a daily relationship with God and living out the biblical principles He’s already given us.

I share what it truly looks like to walk as a follower of Jesus, from making Him the first priority in our lives to loving and forgiving others, even when it feels hard.

We’ll explore what Scripture says about staying connected to Jesus, living by the Spirit, walking humbly, seeking God’s kingdom first, and being the light in a world that desperately needs Him.

If You’ve Been Asking Questions Like…

What is living as a follower of Jesus actually about?
How can I make God the number one priority in my life?
What does it mean to truly love and accept others?
What role does forgiveness play in finding peace and freedom?
How can I be a light pointing others to Jesus?

Then this episode is for you!

Here's how you can continue to grow closer to God & walk with Jesus:
