Faithful Discernment
Feat. Helena Heffernan
Oscar sits down with Helena Heffernan of Life Teen International to explore the often challenging journey of discernment. Helena shares how prayer, silence, and honest self-awareness helped her recognize where her gifts could truly flourish. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that vocation is not about forcing a path forward, but faithfully responding to where God is genuinely calling you.
Three takeaways:
- We are never going to know with absolute certainty what God wants for us.
- No matter what you do, if you cannot take a silent moment with our Lord, how can you hear his gentle invitation to grow deeper with him?
- What discernment needs is prayer, trust in God, and action.
Helena Heffernan is the western region ministry coach at Life Teen International.
