Do You Really Want God’s Will? | Rich Wilkerson Jr. at VOUS Staff Meeting
Mature Me w/ Rich Wilkerson Jr.Show Notes
Your spirit may be willing… but your flesh will still get tired. How are you going to respond?
This week we are dropping a staff meeting talk - unpacking a message that’s been stirring my heart.
From the garden of Gethsemane to our everyday decisions, God isn’t looking for perfection—He’s looking for willingness. As we wrap up 2025 I think it’s important that we go into the new year with a willing spirit and a decision to stay committed.
When your strength runs low, your yes still carries power.
Tune into this week’s release on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube channel at 7:30PM 🎧 It’s time to let God renew your joy and sustain you with a willing spirit.

What happens when what you do for God becomes more important than being with Him?This week on Mature Me, I sat down with someone I admire, @TiffanyHudsonMusic a wife, mom, worship leader and songwriter, for a conversation we recorded all the way from Bondi Beach, Australia!One thing that really stayed with me was hearing Tiffany say, “I don’t feel called to lead worship. I feel called to His presence.”I love that. Because sometimes we get so caught up in what we're doing for God that we forget to simply be with Him.We talk about the power of the words spoken over our lives, the years of preparation nobody sees and why so much of our growth happens in the secret place.You can be around the things of God and still miss time with God. We don't learn His voice on a platform. We learn it in private. And no matter how long we've been following Jesus, we never outgrow our need for Him.My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to make room for His presence.
It’s one thing to sing about surrender. It’s another thing to have to live it.
How do you know if it’s God speaking or just what you want to hear? This week on Mature Me, I’m joined by Dr. Allen Tennison and Dakota Duron to talk about hearing God’s voice and learning to trust His direction. I think so many of us can relate to wanting a clear answer. We want to know which decision to make, which door to walk through, what comes next. But becoming familiar with God’s voice starts with getting to know His character. Even when we don’t find an immediate answer, time in His Word is forming us. We’re learning to recognize His voice and obey what He’s already said. My prayer is that this conversation helps you grow in confidence that God is with you, even while you’re waiting for direction.
This week on Mature Me, I’m sitting down with my dear friend @jabinchavez, whose new book, “What to Do in the Valley,” released TODAY! I’ve known Jabin for decades and I loved this conversation about how we grow through the seasons we wouldn’t choose. Even in the promised land, there are still hills and valleys. Being where God called you doesn’t mean you won’t face difficult days. There are things about His character we only learn in the valley. Could the very area you feel most insecure be the place you learn to depend on His strength? His grace is sufficient, even there. And while you’re waiting, keep speaking life. Get a verse. Say it out loud. Speak God’s Word over your situation, even before it changes. You don’t have to have every answer to keep trusting Him. Tune in tonight at 7:30 PM on the Rich Wilkerson Jr. YouTube Channel and get a copy of his book today 🔗
You can believe what God says about everyone else and still struggle to believe it about yourself.
