Episode 19: Am I Hearing God’s Voice?
Do you ever wonder if you can hear the voice of God?
Or maybe you struggle to read your bible enough, attend church enough or be a better Christian overall to deserve to hear his voice. But this just isn't how it works my friend.
The bible says "My sheep hear my voice," and as his sheep, there is nothing stopping God from speaking to you. He is constantly sharing things, whispering to your troubled heart, but there are distractions that can cause his voice to grow dull, giving the impression he's not speaking.
Today, we want to chat about the ways you can better position your mind and heart to hear what your Father is already speaking to you. Let's drop the religious games and self-condemnation and see what our Lord is up to in our lives and hearts.
Grab your coffee and bible and tune into today's episode ☕

Is God sometimes holding out on us?
How does fear affect hearing God’s voice?
What happens if I make the wrong decision?

Quotes mentioned:
“When the Lion had first begun singing long ago when it was still quite dark, he had realized that the noise was a song and he had disliked the song very much. It made him think and feel things he did not want to think and feel. Then when the sun rose and he saw that the singer was a lion, “Only a lion,” he said to himself, he tried his hardest to make believe that it wasn’t singing and never had been singing. Only roaring as any lion might in a zoo in our own world. “Of course it can’t have really been singing,” he thought. “I must have imagined it. I’ve been letting my nerves get out of order. Whoever heard of a lion singing?” And the longer and more beautifully the Lion sang, the harder Uncle Andrew tried to make himself believe that he could hear nothing but roaring. Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are, is that you very often succeed. Uncle Andrew did. He soon did hear nothing but roaring in Aslan’s song. Soon he couldn’t have heard anything else even if he had wanted to. And when at last the Lion spoke and said, “Narnia, awake,” he didn’t hear any words. He heard only a snarl.”
