#23: We are starting a new series on the Spirit Led Life podcast and one I’m sure that has been anticipated. It is finally time to explore together how to hear from God.

Knowing your purpose and how to hear God’s voice are the two most popular questions believers have in their faith journey. You can experience both and I’ll let you in on a little secret, when you listen to God’s voice, you discover more of who he made you to be and bonus, you start to understand your purpose.

Right now the plan is for this to be a 6 part series where we will explore why it is important to listen to his voice, the ways we can hear him and we will go more in depth on each of the ways, how to discern his voice and what it means for us to start communicating with him. The reason I say the plan is a 6 part series because if you’ve been listening for a while, I move with God and if he decides to change things up, I’m going to move with him.

On today’s episode we are going to set the foundation for hearing God’s voice. We will discuss why it is important, the 50,000 foot view of the different ways you can hear from him and how to discern if what you are hearing is God’s voice.

Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:

For this week’s HPS Challenge, take out your journal and spend at least 15 minutes in a quiet space if possible. For the next 15 minutes, write down all the concerns you have about hearing from God. Get out any fears, worries, or concerns. Now open your bible and ask God to show you in scripture the truth to your concerns. This might take some time and it might not happen at that very moment. Be aware of your request you have made and watch for God to show you throughout the day or even week. Be sure to write down what he reveals to you.
