Is talking with God like speaking to other people? Does He want to engage with me? What does He want to say to me? How should I respond? Is He trustworthy?

The people we listen to have the power of formation in our lives. We form our thoughts from the things that we hear. From our thoughts, narratives are reformed, beliefs established, and our words create the culture of our lives. Elephant in the room: God is always talking to us. Are we listening? Barry and Keith discuss praying without ceasing and how to listen when God speaks. Email Barry with the results of your prayers. We want to listen. Got a question? Want advice?

Not only at a certain time; otherwise, I would also attribute my success to the hour I prayed. It's not just the hour; it's praying without ceasing. I must always have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That requires praying without ceasing." Katheryn Kolman “But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.” -Jonah‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “People in conversations will always communicate from the place of their perceived positioning and understanding.”
