In this episode of Made for Impact, I open up about one of the most overlooked yet powerful parts of our relationship with God: listening.

So often, we pour our hearts out in prayer—asking, thanking, pleading—but forget that communication with God is a two-way street. When we don’t pause to create space for His voice, we risk missing the very answers and guidance we’ve been longing for.

Through simple stories from my own life, I share how moments of silence, stillness, and openness can transform the way we hear from God. This is not about striving or doing more, but about trusting, waiting, and allowing divine wisdom to unfold in its perfect timing.

If you’ve ever felt like your prayers were bouncing back unanswered or you’ve struggled with doubt in waiting seasons, this episode will remind you that God is always speaking—you just need to make space to hear Him.

💡 Key Takeaways

True communication with God requires both speaking and listening.
