Fran's Story

This message invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to hear and follow the voice of our Good Shepherd in the lives we actually live. Through the lens of John 10 and the beautiful imagery of Psalm 23, we're reminded that Jesus knows His sheep by name and calls us to follow Him—not through dramatic, instantaneous revelations, but often through the faithful, ordinary rhythms of daily life. The testimony shared reveals how God's faithfulness unfolds gradually, sometimes only becoming clear when we look back and see how He was guiding us all along. We learn that following Jesus doesn't always require identifying a grand calling before we begin; rather, it's about saying yes to simple opportunities—reading Scripture consistently, serving in small ways, offering rides to those who need them—and trusting that God will reveal meaning and purpose through our obedience. The message challenges us to stop waiting for perfect clarity before we act and instead to try something simple, to take a small step of faith, and watch how the Spirit works through our willingness. God's voice becomes clearer not in isolation, but as we immerse ourselves in His Word and remain open to the everyday opportunities He places before us.
