“Not Hearing From God? Listen To This.” S3 E2
Today we dig in with 4 applicable steps to discerning God’s voice leading you. It’s not what you think.
Pull up a chair 🪑, and HIT PLAY.
🎧 We all want to be led by God, but many times it feels like He's just not speaking. While there may be some validity to that (we'll talk about it next week), I believe that for the most part, He IS speaking. The problem isn't that God has stopped communicating; it's what we're doing to position ourselves to listen.
Pull up a chair by hitting play, and we'll talk about:
One of the less-conventional ways God speaks to me--it's how I knew to talk about this subject on the pod!
A step you can take BEFORE you listen that helps make discerning His voice easier.
The cheat code to hearing God's voice (this is especially for the newer Christians).
The long-game answer to how you can hear God all the time (this is for all of us)!
