“‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’” — Matthew 17:5

In the middle of the Transfiguration, the Father speaks one command that should change everything: Listen to Jesus. This episode explores what it looks like to prioritize the voice of Christ amid the noise of culture, fear, and fractured pasts.

Episode highlights:

• Context: God’s interruption during the Transfiguration (Matthew 17)
• Why “Listen to Him” is both loving and authoritative
• Common distractions that drown out Jesus (feelings, social media, fear, bad counsel)
• Practical steps to cultivate spiritual listening and immediate obedience

Reflection Question: What voice have you allowed to be louder than Jesus?
Challenge: Carve out 15 minutes today for silent listening—open the Gospels, pray, journal what He says, and then do it.
