How to Hear God in the Middle of Your Mess


Listen Later

What if some of your darkest seasons were preparing you for something greater than you could ever imagine for yourself?

How are you defined? What do you feel defines you? What gives you value and worth? Is it from an account? 


Life doesn’t need to be neat for God to speak. In this deeply personal episode, we explore how to hear God’s voice when life feels chaotic, painful, or hopeless. Whether you're in a season of grief, confusion, or transition, you are not alone—and God is still speaking. Tune in for encouragement, practical steps, and a call to listen for His whisper in the middle of your mess.


Reflection:

  1. When was a time you felt like you couldn’t hear God?
  2. What distractions or lies might be keeping you from hearing His voice today?
  3. What does God’s voice sound like to you? How do you usually sense He’s speaking?
  4. What’s one small space in your day where you can quiet yourself to listen?
  5. Are there people around you who help you tune in to God’s truth, or do you need to seek out new voices?


Call to Action:

  1. Create a Listening Moment This Week
    Choose one day this week to spend 10 quiet minutes—no phone, no distractions—and ask God to speak. Write down anything that comes to mind or heart.
  2. Scripture for the Week
    Meditate on John 10:27 — “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
  3. Share Your Story
    DM or email me how God has spoken to you during a messy season. I’d love to feature your testimony (anonymously if needed) in an upcoming episode or newsletter.
