About this episode

This episode discusses how to recognize and respond to God's call through practical biblical reflection questions.

Have you ever felt God nudging you but weren’t sure how to respond? In 1 Samuel 3, a young Samuel learned to recognize God’s voice during a season of spiritual silence. Sometimes hearing from God isn’t always about dramatic moments—it’s about cultivating a posture of readiness. We will look at 8 practical, biblical reflection questions to help you discern God’s will, covering Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, life experiences, circumstances, timing, and godly desire. Whether you’re standing at a crossroads or simply wanting to grow closer to God, our prayer and hope will be to equip you to stop hiding, start listening, and confidently say, “Here I am, Lord. Speak!”
