Discerning the Voice of God
Week 4

Our last posted study plan, for October 29, focused on recognizing God’s voice, understanding His truth and authority, and responding in obedience.

On October 22, STYA experienced a powerful evening of worship, prayer, and breakthrough. We stepped outside our usual schedule and made room for intimate time with God. We’re excited about what He’s doing in South Tampa and preparing our hearts to keep growing together.

THURSDAY RECAP

When God Changes the Plans

Discerning the Voice of God · A night of surrender, worship & prayer

LISTEN TO THE RECAP1 min 6 sec · Volunteer narration

A narrated recap of the gathering. Read the written recap below.

We came expecting to continue Week 4 of Discerning the Voice of God, but the evening took a different direction. Logan encouraged us to go off script and make room for what God wanted to do.

“We've been studying discerning the Voice, so let's go off script and do what God wants us to do tonight.”

— Logan

Instead of our usual Bible study format, we made room for a powerful message, heartfelt worship, and intimate prayer. It was a night of surrender, reflection, and breakthrough—seeds being planted and hearts opening to what God is doing.

TAKE THIS WITH YOU

Discerning God’s voice isn’t just about studying how He speaks. It’s also about being willing to respond in obedience when He leads us in a different direction.

Read the full recap

Last Thursday was a special night at South Tampa Young Adults!

We came together expecting to continue Week 4 of our Discerning the Voice of God series, but God had something different in store.

Logan shared something that set the tone for the entire evening:

“We've been studying discerning the Voice, so let's go off script and do what God wants us to do tonight.”

And that's exactly what we did.

Instead of following our usual Bible study format, we made room for a powerful message, heartfelt worship, and intimate time in prayer with God.

It was a night of surrender, reflection, and breakthrough. We witnessed seeds being planted and hearts being opened to what God is doing.

Our biggest takeaway: Discerning God's voice isn't just about studying how He speaks. It's also about being willing to respond in obedience when He leads us in a different direction.

We left reminded that our gatherings aren't simply about completing a lesson. They're about growing closer to Jesus and creating space for Him to transform our lives.

And we believe He's just getting started!

God is still moving in South Tampa, and we're making room for more! ❤️

Faith. Fun. Fellowship. Jesus at the center.
