EP 58 Learning to Listen to God

About this episode

This episode discusses how to hear God amidst the distractions of modern life.

Today, we’re talking about something deeply important and often deeply personal: how to hear God in the middle of a noisy, distracted world. So many of us long for clarity, peace, and direction, yet life can be so full of constant input that it becomes difficult to recognize the gentle ways God is speaking. In this episode, we’ll slow down and reflect on what Scripture teaches about stillness, prayer, patience, and the posture of a heart that is ready to listen. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, “Be still and know that I am God,” and in 1 Kings 19 we see that God often speaks not through the dramatic or the overwhelming, but through a still, small voice—a soft whisper. That truth invites us to consider one of the first steps in hearing God: creating intentional space for silence. Social media, work, responsibilities, and even our own racing thoughts can easily drown out what God may be trying to say. In this episode: Psalm 19, Romans 2, John 10:3, 1 Samuel 3:1-10, Mark 1:35, Matthew 7:7.
