📝 SHOW NOTES

What if God isn’t silent…

what if we’ve just stopped recognizing His voice?

In this episode, we kick off a brand new series, Hearing God Clearly, by laying the foundation:

God is already speaking.

A lot of believers struggle with hearing God, not because He isn’t communicating, but because we don’t always recognize how He speaks. This episode breaks that mindset and brings it back to something simple and powerful:

Hearing God isn’t mystical… it’s relational.

Whether you missed the Thursday night Bible study or you were in the room and want to go deeper, this episode will help you slow down, tune in, and begin recognizing the voice of God in your everyday life.

🔑WHAT WE TALK ABOUT

🔹 Why hearing God is part of your identity, not a special gift

🔹 The truth that God speaks more than we realize

🔹 How we often mistake God’s voice for our own thoughts
