Show Notes

How do you choose when both opportunities are good—but one calls you to seek God's kingdom first?

In the second episode of the What Should I Do? series, Jessica Cabrera shares the unexpected story of two opportunities that collided at the exact same moment: a unique career opportunity and a ministry opportunity she had spent years praying God would provide.

Neither opportunity was wrong. Both were meaningful.

But through prayer, Scripture, and honest reflection, Jessica realized God wasn't simply asking her to choose between two good opportunities—He was inviting her to examine what she treasured most.

If you've ever wrestled with competing priorities, wondered how to discern God's direction, or struggled to seek first the Kingdom of God when life presents more than one good path, this episode will encourage you to trust God's leading and discover how He uses ordinary decisions to shape extraordinary faith.

Key Takeaway

Sometimes God doesn't ask us to choose between good and evil. He asks us to choose what we treasure most. As we seek His kingdom first, He lovingly reshapes our desires and teaches us that no earthly opportunity compares to walking closely with Him.
