There exists a voice within each of us, a quiet whisper amidst the clamor of the world. It speaks not in words, but in feelings, intuitions, and deep knowing. This voice is our inner guide, our compass, always pointing us towards our truth. I recall a time when this inner voice was particularly strong. I was at a crossroads in my life, facing a decision that would have a profound impact on my future. Fear and uncertainty clouded my mind, each path seeming fraught with risk and the potential for regret. Yet, amidst this turmoil, a gentle voice emerged, urging me towards a path I had not considered. It was not a voice of logic or reason, but one of deep inner knowing. It felt like a pull towards a destiny that was meant for me, a path aligned with my true self. We are constantly bombarded with external noise, the opinions of others, societal expectations, and the relentless chatter of our own minds. This noise can easily drown out the subtle whisper of our inner voice, making it difficult to discern our own truth. At the crossroads of choice, this inner voice becomes paramount. It cuts through the confusion, providing clarity and direction. It speaks to our deepest desires, our values, and our innate wisdom. It guides us towards choices that are in alignment with our authentic selves. The inner voice is not always easy to hear. It requires stillness, presence, and a willingness to listen. It may come as a gentle nudge, a sudden insight, or a deep sense of knowing. The more we cultivate our ability to listen, the clearer and stronger this voice becomes. The inner voice is our compass, guiding us through the twists and turns of life. It is not infallible, but it always points us in the direction of our highest good. It may lead us down unexpected paths, challenge our preconceived notions, and push us beyond our comfort zones. This voice is not about seeking comfort or ease. It is about aligning with our truth, even when it is uncomfortable or challenging. It is about embracing growth, expansion, and the unfolding of our highest potential. Trusting this inner voice requires courage. It means letting go of the need for certainty and embracing the unknown. It means having faith in ourselves and the wisdom that resides within.

How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.
