Part 6 –
Take Hold of the Narrative of your Life
This episode, based on last weeks’ lessons, sets the stage for living the will of God this year. 1 Pet. 4:1-2 tells us that believers should no live for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. Yet the narrative of reacting to life too often describes our time year after year because we don’t gain the clear divine perspective for our lives. When we “seek those things above where Christ is seated” (Col. 3:1), we stop reacting to life’s circumstances based on a divine vision. This episode consequently emphasizes the prayerful pursuit of the will of God, with the end of establishing the narrative for our lives.

    More About This Episode -

    In this episode of “Kingdom Questions” called “Take Hold of the Narrative of your Life,” host Victor Vigorito greets listeners and prepares to address how to start off the New Year right. He reflects on last week’s discussion about understanding responsibilities according to God’s will versus one’s own desires.


    Victor emphasizes the crucial question of who is controlling the narrative of our lives, challenging listeners to consider whether they reacted to life’s circumstances last year or sought God’s guidance in their decisions. He highlights the struggle many believers face when living out of their own power instead of God’s, leading to what he describes as a life of “quiet desperation.”


    He encourages listeners to adopt a higher perspective by focusing on God’s view of life, referencing Colossians 3:1-2, which calls for believers to seek things above where Christ is seated. Victor explains that understanding God’s sovereignty and purpose is essential for taking control of one’s narrative. He raises the importance of aligning one’s life with the will of God rather than succumbing to the well-meaning desires of others.


    Victor acknowledges that while life will still present challenges and tribulations, centering on divine will can eliminate distractions and unnecessary complications.
