by | May 27, 2025 | The Love Offering Podcast Show Notes

Have you ever hesitated, wondering, Was that really God? You’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering podcast, I’m joined by Abby McDonald to talk about her latest book, Surrendering Certainty: Hearing God Today by Letting Go of Tomorrow. In our conversation, we explore a powerful truth—God’s voice wasn’t meant to predict the future, but to guide us in peace today.

 

If you’ve ever longed for clarity but found yourself stuck in indecision, doubting if you can really hear from God, this episode is for you. Abby shares how we can:

  • Trade the need for control with the confidence of walking by faith
  • Release the burden of needing to know what comes next
  • Grow in our ability to discern God’s voice through His Word
  • Make decisions without second-guessing when God has already equipped us to move forward

Let’s surrender our craving for certainty and discover the freedom that comes with trusting the One who already holds tomorrow.

 

Summary

 

In this episode of the Love Offering Podcast, host Rachael Adams speaks with Abby McDonald about her book ‘Surrendering Certainty.’ They discuss the common misconception that God’s voice is meant to provide certainty about the future, emphasizing instead that it offers peace for today. Abby shares insights on how to recognize God’s voice, the importance of obedience, and how to live with hope and purpose despite uncertainty. The conversation highlights the significance of love in our actions and the promises of God that anchor us in faith.

 

Takeaways

 

God’s voice is meant to provide peace for today, not certainty for tomorrow.

Many people struggle with discerning God’s voice amidst their own desires.

The burden of certainty can lead to anxiety and restlessness.

Recognizing God’s voice requires time, intention, and intimacy with Him.

Obedience to God’s prompting is more important than the response we receive.

We can ask ourselves if our actions show love for God and others.

God’s promises in scripture provide assurance and guidance in uncertain times.

The more we spend time with God, the better we recognize His voice.

Even when we fail, God uses our missteps to lead us closer to Him.

Living out the greatest commandment is central to our faith journey.

Rachael Adams (02:41.275)

Welcome to the Love Offering Podcast. I’m your host, Rachel Adams, author of Everyday Prayers for Love, learning to love God, others, and even yourself. Each week we dive into meaningful conversations about how to live out the greatest commandment, loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Whether through inspiring stories, practical tips, or biblical truths, I hope to encourage you to love boldly, live faithfully, and reflect God’s love in your everyday life.

 

My guest today is Abby McDonald in her new book, Surrendering Certainty, Hearing God Today by Letting Go of Tomorrow. Abby challenges a common misconception about God’s voice that it’s meant to give us certainty about the future. Instead, she invites us to embrace the truth that God’s voice offers peace for today, not a roadmap for tomorrow. By exploring Jesus’ promises in John 10,

 

Abby helps us to trade the heavy yoke of control for the lighter freeing yoke of Christ. So Abby, welcome back to the Love Offering Podcast. We were just saying it’s been five years since you’ve been on here. It’s in your last release of your book. It’s crazy how fast time has gone.

 

Abby McDonald (04:18.37)

Yeah, thanks, Rachel. I’m excited to be here. It doesn’t seem like five years.

 

Rachael Adams (04:24.453)

I’m grateful to talk about your new book, Surrendering Certainty, which is kind of a mouthful. I struggled to say it a moment ago. So, so how did your, how did your personal experience with hearing God’s voice? How did it shape this message?

 

Abby McDonald (04:30.944)

It is. Yeah, that a little.

 

Abby McDonald (04:41.324)

Yeah, Rachel. Well, this was really the fruit of both my own experience and conversations that I was constantly having with people over the past few years. And I just kept seeing that question over and over, know, is this God’s voice? Is this God’s will? You know, is it Him that’s nudging me toward this or is this just my own desire?

 

And I thought, you know what, there’s something there and there’s something that needs to be explored deeper, you know, because like I said, this is something I struggle with daily. It’s such a common part of our walk with God and our journey, you know, just asking that question. And so, yeah, that’s what led to writing the book. And to be honest, I fought with God for a long time on it. You know, I was like, writing a book about God’s voice. Yeah, I don’t think so. You know, but I found that when God gives you a message to share, it just becomes like a slow burning flame. And you can try to put that wick out, but it just keeps burning and burning. And eventually you just have to share it. And so here we are.

 

 

Rachael Adams (06:06.165)

Well, I’m thankful that you were obedient to share it because I’m so excited to hear what you have to say on this. But we’re going to take a brief break to hear a word from today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’re going to be talking about how so many of us feel like we mistake God’s voice. And so we’re going to just take a break and then we’ll be right back.

 

Rachael Adams (06:28.997)

Welcome back. So you mentioned that many of us make a mistake. You mentioned that many of us mistake God’s voice as a tool for gaining knowledge about the future. So why do think that we are so drawn to this misconception?

 

Abby McDonald (06:46.582)

Yeah, well, I really think it goes back to the garden, Rachel. so, you know, most of us are familiar with the story of the temptation of Eve and the garden and the serpent coming along, you know, and saying, tempting her with the fruit. And that first question he asked her, did God really say that’s really the question that we’re continuing to ask today?

 

You know, when we feel God leading us towards something, we ask ourselves, did God really say? And then in that interaction that they have, the temptation that he gives her is that she is going to be like God. You know, she’s going to know good from evil. And so it’s knowledge, you know, she ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

 

And that is still our downfall today is we think that if we just have a little bit more knowledge of what God is doing, if we have a little bit more knowledge about what’s going to happen in the future, that we’ll be certain, you know, we’ll have that freedom, we’ll know, you know, and the truth is we’re never going to have that.

 

You know, we’re never going to have that on this side of eternity. And I think that in our relationship with Jesus, the freedom that he offers us is that we were never intended to have that weight and that knowledge. As a matter of fact, like when we gain more of that, a lot of times it just leads to more uncertainty and more questions.

 

And you can see that in our culture today. I mean, we have access to more knowledge than we have ever had. And we are a culture that has more anxiety, more depression, know, more of suicide, you know, than than any generation that we’ve ever seen. And so.

 

Abby McDonald (09:10.03)

I think that God invites us to just lay that all down and say, you know, take my yoke. It is easy and it is light. And I may not tell you what’s going to happen tomorrow, but I’m going to guarantee you my presence and my peace for today. And I’m going to walk with you and I’m going to be with you no matter what happens and whatever struggle it is you’re going through. And so, it’s a beautiful trade, but it’s not an easy one. 

 

Rachael Adams (09:44.757)

No, is not. What are maybe some signs that we’re carrying the burden of certainty instead of trusting in God’s promises?

 

Abby McDonald (09:56.398)

I think it’s just, you know, this constant feeling of restlessness, you know, and sometimes restlessness can mean that God is leading us towards some type of change, you know, that can be a reason for restlessness, you know, if he is nudging us to do something and we’re not acting or you know, it could be sign of strife like in our family life or whatever. But I think that if we’re just constantly restless and we’re not at peace, then that could be a sign that we’re wanting that certainty and we’re carrying that yoke of I need to know what’s going to happen and just inaction. I think that that could be another sign if we’re just kind of stuck where we are and we don’t feel like we’re growing or we’re the same place now that we were say five years ago. That could be a sign that we’re carrying that yoke of certainty. We all go through seasons where there’s not as much growth. I do believe that each believer has those seasons, you know, and those seasons reflect our, the seasons of the earth, you know, we have a fall, we have a winter, we have a spring, we’re not intended to just constantly grow, grow, grow. But if we’re never growing and we’re never taking any risk, then that is definitely a sign to me, I think something probably needs to change.

 

Rachael Adams (11:50.279)

One of the key themes in your book is learning to hear God without second guessing ourselves. Wouldn’t that be nice?

 

Abby McDonald (11:56.174)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s something to reach toward for sure. But yeah, we I don’t think we’ll ever do that perfectly now.

 

Rachael Adams (12:06.303)

Do you have any any practical steps that you think that we can take to grow in confidence in that area?

 

Abby McDonald (12:12.8)

Yeah, absolutely. I think this is something I shared the other day. One thing that God has been showing me is that perhaps instead of asking myself, is this God’s voice? I can ask myself, what is it? What do I know about God? You know, and that is more when you’re in a place where you’re just stuck that question, is this God voice? And you’re not really getting anywhere. Then ask yourself, what do I know about God? And in asking yourself that, obviously, you know, what does his word reveal about his character? When you look back on your history with God, how has he led you to this? What has he done in your life and what has he shown you about his faithfulness? And then, you know, how has he prepared you to make this decision? That’s another question that I ask is, you know, if I look back on the past few weeks or months, you know, I can usually see little indications of how he’s prepared me for this, know, whatever it is that I’m facing, whether it’s a major decision or a small decision that feels major to me, I can see how he’s giving me little indications or clues of, know, this is what’s gonna help you to make this choice.

 

Rachael Adams (14:04.373)

It’s much easier to realize it was God’s voice that I heard, you know, in retrospect. It’s like, oh, yes, I can see how he was leading me that way. So it’s like hindsight, right?

 

Abby McDonald (14:16.694)

Yes, right. I believe that 100%. There’s so many and I’ve heard people equate it to fingerprints, you know, how like you don’t ever notice fingerprints when they’re being left, but then you can go back and you can see them, you know, especially if you have kids, you see them all over the place. And that’s kind of how it is with God, you know, you don’t see how he’s moving in the moment but you can look back and you can see, yeah, you know, that was him all along.

 

Rachael Adams (14:49.372)

Yeah. So what does it look like to surrender our false sense of security and tomorrow while still living with hope and purpose today?

 

Abby McDonald (15:00.886)

Hmm. Yeah, yeah. It’s a lifelong process, Rachel. What God is showing me is that, you know, unless God gives me some type of divine revelation, you know, or vision, which I mean, He can do, but it’s, I don’t think that that’s the norm, you know, for Him to do that. I’m not going to know what’s going to happen tomorrow and for me to just constantly live in angst about that, it’s not gonna get myself anywhere, other than just more gray hairs on my head. And so when I say, you know what, I don’t know where this decision is gonna lead, but I know that God is in this because what does God call me to do? He calls me to love Him and to love others. And so a lot of times I’ll just boil it down to that. I’ll say, is this something that shows love for God? Is this something that shows love for others? And if the answer to those questions is yes, then what am I waiting for?

 

Abby McDonald (16:20.62)

You know, will it turn out exactly the way I want or the way I plan? Probably not. But is God going to punish me for doing something that shows my love for him? I don’t think so. You know, and I think that sometimes when I want that certainty, it’s when I really look at myself and what that underlying fear is, it’s fear of punishment. And what I mean by that is fear of failure, know, fear that I’m gonna take this stuff and it off, you know, well, I made a fool of myself or fear of what other people are gonna think, fear of rejection. But like I said, if I ask myself those questions, and the answer is yes, then I really think that you need to go for it no matter what that looks like that God is going to be in it and he’s going to lead you.

 

Rachael Adams (17:30.278)

I love that so much. mean, obviously, because it’s the love offering podcast and that’s what we talk about all the time, but the way you simplified that is just so beautiful. Does this action or behavior, does it show my love for God and does it show love for other people? It is really living out the greatest commandment. absolutely. love that. And so let’s, let’s talk about, let’s talk about actually let’s take a brief break.

 

Rachael Adams (17:55.701)

We’re going to take another brief break to hear from today’s sponsor and when we return, we’re going to talk about the promises of God that equip us for a life of faith.

 

Welcome back as I mentioned before the break the Abby’s book it talks about it focuses on three promises from Jesus in John 10. So Abby would you walk us through those promises and how they can anchor us in certain times.

 

Abby McDonald (18:21.582)

Yeah, absolutely. And so the three things that Jesus says in John 10, well, he says a lot of things in John 10, the three things that I focus on in the book are, first of all, my sheep know my voice or they hear my voice and they follow me. The second is they will come and go and find pasture. And the third, is no one will snatch them out of my hand. And the reason why I love John, that’s one of my favorite books in the Bible, and I love John 10, what I found interesting is I started to study that passage more, is that Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees when he says all of these things.

 

So it’s not his disciples, you know, the people that followed him during his earthly ministry, it’s the Pharisees who really gave him the hardest time of anybody in the gospels. And they also made the most demands. And they were the ones that were constantly like, show us a sign, you know, if you’re really the Messiah, then tell us plainly. And so who were the Pharisees? Well, that’s another conversation entirely, but they really lived by these sets of man-made rules, you know, and they had added to the law, you know, added all these extra rules to Moses’ law, and yet here Jesus is, and he’s saying, no, you know, I am the way, I am the truth and he boils it down to these three truths that I talk about. yeah, and so what, what, what did you want me to expand on with, with that? I think the first one is really key is that believing that we can hear God’s voice.

 

Rachael Adams (20:47.701)

It’s like my sheep know me and they know my voice, right? And it’s that intimacy and knowing that familiarity and the, you know, I, there’s another verse later is like the depart from me. never knew you, you know, there’s that, that same knowing that same intimacy. think that, you know, like we’ll talk about, I know people often say, well, if my husband is in a, if we’re in a crowded room, I can still hear his voice or his laugh, you know, even though there’s lots of different voices, you can hone in on that same with your children, you know their cries, it’s that level of intimacy and I think we can get there with God in many ways, do you?

 

Abby McDonald (21:28.29)

I do, I do, yeah. And that’s funny that you mentioned that because that’s really, I use a very similar illustration. I don’t know if you remember, it was back, I don’t know, probably five or 10 years ago, but there was this really popular Pandora jewelry commercial. And these kids were blindfolded. They were in this huge room and their moms were on the other side of the room and so these kids were probably about eight years old. Each child was able to find their moms and their moms didn’t speak. They didn’t call their names or anything, but just from the way that their moms touch felt, the way their bodies felt when they grabbed a hold of them, like they were going around touching their stomachs and stuff, probably the way they smelled, but they all of them found their moms. And I thought that was just such a beautiful picture. And when I think about our walk with God, I think that that’s a very telling picture is because the more time we spend with him, the more time we’re gonna learn to recognize his voice. Now, if those kids were in a room where there were people just shouting, you know, and there was just mass chaos, then I don’t think that they would have been as successful with finding their moms. And I think that that’s a lot of times that’s kind of how we expect our relationship with God to be is we have all these distractions, you know, just constantly coming at us, whether it’s social media or just all the activities that we’re involved in, but we still expect to have that intimate relationship with God and to be able to hear his voice. But being able to recognize that requires time and intention, you know, and the more time that we spend investing in that, then the more we’re going to learn to recognize it. And I think it’s also just as crucial that when we do hear it that we respond because when we don’t respond then it just becomes more muted I think we don’t we don’t learn to look back and see that history like you know that was God when he nudged me to do that and I was obedient and I can now see the fruit from that and so yeah it’s definitely a lifelong journey.

 

Rachael Adams (24:59.987)

Yeah, yeah, I just was thinking about our, know, oftentimes, and you mentioned this at the beginning of the episode, it’s like, okay, was this God’s voice? Is this the enemy’s voice? Is this my own voice? Is this just another person, you know, that I’m trying to people, please? And, and the world is loud, and there are many voices that we media, you know, there’s so many different things that are tempting us and speaking to us. And so the more time we spend in scripture, and, and that is God speaking to us. Those are His words to us and it’s living and active. And so it’s so important to spend that time. And as you have been on this journey and been writing this book, how has your relationship with God, how has it deepened your level of certainty and transformed your spiritual life?

 

Abby McDonald (25:53.07)

I think that what God is teaching me right now and it’s a less it’s a lifelong lesson for me and one that I have to re-learn often is just that he’s for me, you know, and I think that that’s really so crucial, you know, because when your father, you know, your heavenly father is for you, yet he wants to see you succeed you know and that that might not look like our earthly definition of success. You know like having your dream house and You know Having a million dollars in your bank account. That’s wonderful. You know and if God decides to give you that then that’s great, but He wants us to flourish and he wants us to thrive and so I think, you know, kind of like watching my kids, you know, like when I see them doing what I feel like they were made to do, you know, you can tell when your kid has kind of found their thing and they’re just in their element and their zone. And how proud does that make you? You know, and our father is the same way. I mean, he just magnified, you know, on a level that we can’t even imagine.

 

And when we get that picture in our head, just, it gives such a freedom, you know, and we’re not so worried about, you know, I’m going to mess this up or, you know, we’re just stuck in our head. Like, what if, and we can know, you know what, even the missteps, even the times when I falter that they can lead me to Jesus, they, can fall toward Jesus instead of falling away from him. And another example I talk about in the book is Peter. mean, you know, how many times did he publicly fail? And yet he’s one of my favorite characters in scripture just because he’s so real and he’s so relatable. And God uses him. I mean, if you see him in Acts, he’s on fire, you know, and there’s no stopping him. I mean, yeah, he doesn’t do it perfectly. And he has to be called out a few times, but he’s definitely on fire for the gospel. And so he’s one of my favorites to look at and to study.

 

Rachael Adams (28:35.315)

He’s one of my favorites too. I just circling back briefly, I was thinking about like when we’re confused about whose voice it is, you know, and whose voice we’re listening to, like, does it sound like love? Does it sound like peace? Does it sound like joy? You know, is it, is it scriptural? And if it doesn’t sound like something God would say in His word in scripture, then it’s probably not Him. know? Yeah.

 

Rachael Adams (29:00.757)

So I’m just thinking about each woman listening today and after hearing this message and maybe she’s just in a place like gosh am I God am I hearing you correctly right now and I feel so uncertain and I don’t know just how would you encourage her is there anything else that you would want to leave her with today?

 

Abby McDonald (29:20.334)

I would just encourage her to lean in, you know, and to be honest with God wherever she is. You know what? God does not shy away from our questions. And when we come to Him and just lay it all out there and say, God, you know what? I don’t know. I don’t know if this is you. I feel torn right now. I feel pulled in multiple different directions.

 

He meets us there. He meets us in that uncertainty and he will often when I do that myself give a piece that I had not felt before and it’s not because anything has changed. It’s not because my circumstances have changed. It’s just that I have shared that burden with the one who knows and there’s no explaining that. That’s just God. And so I would just encourage that person to be honest before the Lord and to know that he is with you. And even if you don’t see the answer right away that he’s going to lead you through it.

 

Rachael Adams (30:30.997)

Yeah, I keep thinking and I’ve almost mentioned it several times, but so now I guess I need to mention it because it’s again, it’s like, okay, Holy Spirit, is that your voice? I don’t know. Um, but I just keep thinking of Romans eight 28 that everything works together for the good of those who love him. And so if we want, if we’re like, okay, Lord, I want to be in your will, I want to be obedient to you. I think that this is what you’re calling me to do. And I’m just going to walk out and step out in faith and do it and then trust that you’re going to make something good of it. And if it’s not it, then I trust that you’re going to redirect it and use it for good anyway. And so that’s kind of the way I’m trying to live my life. Not that I do it perfectly by any means. But I think Abby, you’ve done such a good job. mentioned love quite a bit already, but is there a biblical concept of love that you think applies to this topic today?

 

Abby McDonald (31:19.692)

Yeah, I think that when I think of a biblical concept of love that applies to this concept, it is following God even when we don’t know what’s gonna happen on the other side of our obedience. And that’s most of the time, right? But sometimes we have a little bit more certainty than others. know, if we’ve shared an idea or something with somebody and they’ve gotten a positive response like, that’s great. That’s great. Go for it. And other times we just don’t know, you know, especially one example I can think of is I felt really strongly sometimes to just go and approach somebody like when I’m out and about, you know, like at either a church or in a public place and you don’t ever know like how people are going to respond right? You just don’t know. But I have never regretted doing that when I’m obedient and I just say you know what I don’t know what’s going to happen but I really feel strongly that God is asking me to do this to go and talk to this person. Yeah that I don’t regret it.

 

Rachael Adams (32:46.643)

Yeah. Well, and I, I tell the story and a little, my devotion a little goes a long way, but I had felt like the Lord had asked me to give the pizza to this homeless man. It was, he was actually outside of a pizza parlor and I say pizza parlor, it was a Little Caesars. I was making it sound all fancy. wasn’t. but anyway, so I just felt like that. was hearing his voice and so I was getting pizza for my family. I got him some pizza. Like it was easy. I’ve got him a two liter and then laid it next to him and Abby, he actually like picked it up and threw it back at me. And I got back into the car and I’m like, Lord, I thought that I clearly I hear your voice correctly. but in that moment, I felt like he said the person’s response, it’s not about reciprocity. was about your obedience to me. And so it was a good lesson for me to realize like, I’m not doing anything that I’m doing for the response that I receive. I’m doing it because the Lord has commanded me to, and it was just a display of my obedience and there’s been so many times like, Lord, I don’t think I heard you correct in this. but he has taught me something in that moment. And so I just wanted to encourage everybody listening for whatever that’s worth. That it’s not always about the reaction that you receive from the person that, that you feel like that you should get a certain response from. Do you have a, have you ever had a moment like that?

 

Abby McDonald (34:20.822)

Yeah. I’m so glad you brought that up because, yeah, the response has not always been what I wanted or even what I thought that it would be. You know, I’ve had people where I’ve approached them and I really felt like God was leading me to say something specific to them. And they didn’t look at me like I had worms coming out of my ears, but their response was almost like that. You know, it was just kind of like well, if you know God is that that’s what God is saying then he needs to do this, you know, and it was kind of a more of a combative response, I guess and You know, I was tempted to be like like you said, know very chill like okay Well, I guess that wasn’t God or God I thought that you asked me to do this and the more that I reflected on that and prayed about it, I came to that same realization as you, Rachel, is that it’s not about their response. It’s about planting that seed and being obedient. And sometimes people just aren’t ready to receive something, but you’ve still planted that seed and it’s up to God to water it. know, God is the one that’s going to water it and make it grow. It’s not our job to make it grow. And so I think that we often don’t see the fruit, but that it still could produce fruit later. And so, yeah.

 

Rachael Adams (36:01.321)

Yeah. No, that’s so good because even in the example that you gave, maybe they didn’t understand what you were telling them in that moment. Maybe it was for 10 years down the road. You know, we don’t know. We don’t know God’s coming and maybe it wasn’t about the man that I gave the pizza to. Maybe it was about the cashier or the person behind me in the pickup line. Like we don’t know. We don’t know how God is going to use it and that’s where the faith and trust comes in. So, okay. So, Abby, tell us something you are loving right now.

 

Abby McDonald (36:31.342)

I have been going through the, what’s called, story of scripture in a year, and it is a chronological approach to the Bible, and I have just learned so much in the process of going through that, and so yeah. I’m going to be a lifelong learner when it comes to God’s Word. And he’s really just ignited like a new thirst in me. I think sometimes we can go through these dormant periods where it’s just like, you know, I don’t feel like I’m growing or I’m learning anything. And he’s really just reignited that fire. And so that’s something that I’ve really been enjoying.

 

Rachael Adams (37:26.357)

You’ll have to send me the link to that and we can link it in the show notes because maybe everybody will be interested in in reading that too. So I know I want to stay connected with you. I’m sure listeners are going to want to so tell us how we can best do that.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, would you do us the honor of praying for us as we close?

 

Abby McDonald (38:05.73)

Yes. Lord, I just thank you for this time with Rachel. I thank you for your spirit who leads us and gives us life and breath. And I just pray for each listener today, Lord, that if there is something that you’re prompting her or him to do, if there’s a step of faith or they need to take that you would just show them their ability to hear your voice, God, show them that you are there with them and that you are leading them. And I pray that if there is a longing for certainty that they would know that they do have certainty in you, that you will never leave us, that you will never forsake us, and that your voice is true and that you will give us peace as you guide us with your loving eye on us. In Jesus’ amen.

 

Rachael Adams (39:10.415)

Amen. Thank you so much for being my guest today and helping us to be more certain about hearing God’s voice.
