Brandon Thomas sits down with Pastor Pace Hartfield for a powerful conversation about big leaps of faith and biblical manhood. Pace shares how leaving comfort to plant One Place Church in Idaho was built on small acts of obedience. Together, they challenge men to reject harsh dominance and passive comfort, lead with surrendered strength, “win the driveway,” and courageously build the marriage, family, and legacy God has entrusted to them.

QUESTIONS:

1. What small step of obedience might God be asking you to take now to prepare you for a bigger leap of faith later?

2. Where are you most tempted to drift toward harsh control or passive comfort instead of surrendered, Spirit-led strength?

3. What would it look like for you to “win the driveway” and lead your home with greater tenderness, responsibility, and vision?

We talk about the desire to know God’s will, especially when we’re facing big in life. But discerning His will requires more than looking for a sign or asking God to bless what we already want. It requires refusing to be shaped by the patterns of this world and allowing God to renew your mind. As we obey God in the small things, we become more prepared to recognize and follow His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

QUESTIONS:

1. Why is it important to start by looking back at God’s faithfulness?
2. What small act of obedience might God be asking you to take today?
3. If you feel like you can’t hear God’s voice, what may need to change in the way you listen?
