Hey everyone, in this episode of the Luminous Podcast, we begin our short series on the Luminous definition of a follower of Jesus: someone who listens to and obeys Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. We begin the topic of how to listen to Jesus.

We share personal stories of times we heard from God and how He spoke to us, and explore four key questions related to listening to Jesus:

We discuss the importance of humility in recognizing God's voice and the need to seek confirmation from others and peace within ourselves. We also highlight the various ways in which God speaks to us, including through nature, sermons, scripture, stillness, and circumstances.

Finally, the episode ends with an encouragement for listeners to reflect on how God may have been speaking to them in their daily lives and to pay attention to the different ways in which God communicates with them.

Stay tuned for the next episode where we will delve deeper into recognizing God's voice. Have a great day, and we'll see you in two weeks!
