God is present; do we notice him?

As the world gets louder, listening to God’s voice becomes increasingly challenging. We are bombarded by the chaos of our feeds, by distractions both inside and out, and by the everyday cacophony that drowns out the calm of a life lived in close communion with God.

In season 2 of The Digital Examen podcast, guests like Ruth Haley Barton, Ashlee Eiland, Glenn Packiam, Steve Cuss, Andy Crouch, and others join host Jay Y. Kim to affirm that God is always present and speaking. Through their stories and insights, we will be encouraged to pause and notice God with the entirety of our beings—heart, soul, mind, strength—in both the mundane and majestic moments of everyday life.
