How to Hear God's Voice - Week 3

How to Hear God's Voice - Week 2

Matthew 3:13-17Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?' But Jesus answered him, ‘Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfil all righteousness.' Then he consented. And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.' We don't like resolutions anymore. In fact, most of us probably didn't make a single one this year.Pew Research Center found that about 70 percent of Americans skipped resolutions altogether. When asked why, more than half simply said, “We don't like them.” And honestly, I'm with them. Most of our resolutions have become predictable, boring, and very inward-focused. Just listen to the top five resolutions according to a survey done by You Gov.Exercising moreBeing happyEating healthierSaving more moneyLosing weightYou probably could've guessed them. But these days self-improvement isn't just the focus of our resolutions: it's the focus of our whole society. We're surrounded by a culture that tells us we are always one habit, one purchase, one routine away from becoming a better version of ourselves. Social media feeds us an endless stream of trends, all built on the same promise: if you work harder, focus more, and optimize your time, you will finally be okay. Nearly all of it tells us to cut out distractions — like the people in our lives — so we can walk with a weighted vest and drink mushroom coffee till we are entirely better people, physically and mentally.Who has time for New Year's resolutions when the pressure to improve is nonstop? But resolutions weren't always this way. In fact, for most of their long history, they were almost the opposite of what we know today.The practice goes back thousands of years. In ancient Babylon and Rome, people made vows at religious festivals that were meant to strengthen the whole community: praying together, settling debts, promising to live well with their neighbors and their gods. Even as recently as the 1940s, resolutions were still mostly about how to be a better person with other people. A Gallup poll from 1947 found the top three resolutions were to improve my disposition, be more understanding, and control my temper. That's a very different vision of change than losing weight, getting rich, or optimizing yourself. My favorite legend about New Year's resolutions is the Vow of the Peacock, told of medieval knights. They would gather for a grand feast, and at the center of it all was a peacock: roasted, re-dressed in its dazzling feathers, and carried through the hall. One by one, knights would rise and make their vows upon the bird, speaking promises of chivalry before everyone present. These were not modest intentions, but aspirational, even risky commitments: to courage, loyalty, and love.The Vow of the Peacock, more legend than ledger, shows us what people once believed promises were supposed to be: public, costly, witnessed, and binding; not private acts of self-improvement, but commitments made for the sake of others.And that turns out to be exactly the kind of vow Jesus steps into at the Jordan River.Because when Jesus comes to be baptized, he is not trying to become a better version of himself. He is stepping into a shared, public act: one that binds him to sinners, to repentance, and to the people he has come to save.That's why we get baptism so wrong when we treat it like a spiritual achievement, something you earn once you've spiritually improved enough to be worthy. That's not what's happening at the Jordan at all.In fact, at this point in Jesus' life, he had done nothing. No miracles. No healings. No teachings. And yet God says to everyone gathered, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”God doesn't say, “This is my Son, who kept all his resolutions, who eats the right amount of protein, and walks on water.” There is none of that. No self-improvement, no spiritual résumé, but still called beloved.So if this baptism isn't about self-improvement or earning anything, what is Jesus doing in the water?First, he is doing this for us and with us. By stepping into the Jordan, Jesus is saying, “I am in this with you — all of you who repent, all who need forgiveness, everyone trying to turn toward God.” He does not stand above us, but with us. That's why Jesus tells John, “It is proper for us to fulfill all righteousness.” He chooses not to go it alone. He includes John in the work God is doing. This baptism is a radical act of solidarity, showing us how Jesus will bring about the kingdom of heaven, by working in, with, and through people.And that righteousness doesn't stay with Jesus. The righteousness he fulfills in those waters is given to us in ours. In baptism, our sins are forgiven and we are set back into right relationship with God and with creation. That's why, at every baptism, and every time you remember your own, you should hear God's voice echoing over you: “This is my child, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” With you. God is well pleased.We don't need resolutions to be worthy of anything, no matter what the trends and ads tell us. What we do need, believe it or not, are peacock vows. I know that sounds strange. We don't need to swear chivalry on a bird. But we do need public promises made for the good of our neighbors: the kind that say, out loud and together, “I'm not just here to improve my own life. I'm here for yours.”The good news is we don't need to be medieval knights or stage a ceremony with a roasted bird — even though that does sound fun. What we already have are our baptismal vows: promises made to God, to one another, and for the sake of the world.In the Lutheran tradition, many of us were baptized as infants, when others made those promises on our behalf. But at some point — at confirmation, or later in life — we take those vows as our own: to live among God's faithful people, to hear God's Word and share in communion, to proclaim the good news of Christ in word and deed, to serve all people as Jesus does, and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth.Yes, keeping these promises will shape you. But their real purpose is to bless others: just like Jesus' baptism, and even those old peacock vows. And we know that resolutions made with others and for others are the ones that last.So here is what I'm asking of you this year: instead of self-improvement resolutions, tend to your baptismal vows. Not for you, but for God and for this world God so loves. Because what this world needs right now is not one more upper-middle-class person chasing a wellness trend or a bigger bank account.In a world that is lonely and anxious, it needs people who will live among and beside their neighbors. In a world flooded with bad news, it needs people who hear and carry the good news of God.In a world that is bitterly divided, it needs people who serve all, especially the scared and the oppressed. And in a world marked by violence and injustice, it needs people who strive for justice and peace — in their hearts, their homes, their streets, and their nation.So now I invite you to rise. Today, on this Baptism of Our Lord Sunday, I'm going to ask you to affirm the covenant God made with you in Holy Baptism. After each promise, if it is your intent, please respond, “Yes, and I ask God to help me.”Will you live among God's faithful people…Will you hear the word of God and share in the Lord's supper…Will you proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed…Will you serve all people, following the example of Jesus…And will you strive for Justice and peace in all the earth?...Siblings in Christ, these are not modest intentions, but aspirational, even risky, commitments to community, justice, and grace. When we fail, come back to the water. Remember your baptism. Hear God's promise again: You are my child. With you I am well pleased.And if you have not yet been baptized, come talk with me. Because we need you. The world needs you. And Jesus has bound himself to you. Together, we will fulfill all righteousness.Amen.

When you need a word from the Lord but feel like you can't hear Him, what do you do? In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, I spend time in 2 Kings chapter 3 looking at what it really means to hear God's voice when emotions are loud and the pressure is high. Through the story of Elisha and three kings facing a desperate situation in the wilderness, we see why positioning ourselves in God's presence matters more than rushing for an answer. I talk about: Why emotional noise can block spiritual clarityWhat Elisha teaches us about waiting on GodHow worship, stillness, and patience prepare us to hear God clearlyThe difference between urgency and obedienceWhy slowing down is sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do If you've been praying for direction and feel stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will help you understand how to quiet your soul and create space to hear what God is saying. Take time to listen, reflect, and wait on the Lord with me as we learn how to hear His voice without fear.

How to Hear God's Voice - Week 1

In John 10 Jesus says that, “The shepherd of the sheep…calls his own sheep by name and leads them out…He goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice…I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me…My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.” He's saying the normal expectation of being one of his sheep is that we hear and recognize his voice. The problem is, many serious and committed followers of Jesus live without the experience of regularly hearing his voice, and even if they do they might not have a good sense for recognizing it. And what a tragedy this is, because the voice of God has the ability to sort us out, fill us with vitality, put us on the right path, fortify us, give us patience, cut through lies we are believing, put us in our place (if that's we need) or lift us up (if that's what we need), and much more. It's the greatest force in the world, and it's how God intends to lead us to our destiny as Jesus followers. In this series, we're going to tackle what it looks like for John 10 to not be just a nice verse to put in a picture frame on our wall but to be a mantra we live every single day.

Michael Todd teaches that hearing God's voice is not reserved for pastors or prophets—it's for every believer who is willing to slow down, listen, and build a real relationship with Him. God is always speaking, but many times we miss His voice because of distractions, noise, and our own expectations of how He should sound.He explains that God speaks in different ways: through Scripture, the Holy Spirit's promptings, wise counsel, circumstances, and quiet inner conviction. The key is alignment—when our hearts, lives, and priorities line up with God's Word, His voice becomes clearer. Michael emphasizes that God's voice will never contradict Scripture and will always lead toward truth, peace, and growth.The message also highlights the importance of obedience. Often, clarity comes after we obey what God has already told us. Hearing God isn't about chasing a feeling—it's about trust, consistency, and spending time with Him daily.And of course, Jaggy and Tedi would remind us of something simple but powerful: when you love someone, you learn their voice. Just like they recognize the sound of food being opened or your footsteps nearby, learning to hear God's voice comes from closeness, time together, and trust.Key takeaway:God is speaking. When we quiet the noise, stay grounded in His Word, and walk in obedience, His voice becomes familiar and unmistakable.

Whenever we come to the table for communion, we share this short and ancient creed: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. We live in the in between, right smack dab in the middle of the already but not yet. The dawn from on high has come upon us, and it will come upon us. Whatever our personal darkness may be, whatever it is we are sifting through and trying to navigate, whatever keeps us awake at night and makes us nervous for tomorrow, it will be redeemed. The desert will bloom, light will shine in the darkness, the dead will be raised. It might not be today or even tomorrow, but one day God will make all things new. Hear God's promise at the beginning of Luke's Gospel: “By the tender mercy of the Lord, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to whose who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” Or, as Auburn Sandstrom said, “In the deepest, blackest, night of despair and anxiety, it only takes a pinhole of light and all of grace can come in.”

If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of dieting, frustrated with your body, overwhelmed by cravings, or praying for your health but not seeing real change… this message is for you. We want to share something powerful from our recent Healthy Christian Woman Masterclass, because the women who watched it experienced lightbulb moments, freedom, tears, hope—and for many, the first real sense of, "I can actually do this with God."In the masterclass, we talked about a truth most of us forget:

Proverbs 12 is a masterclass in slowing down, tuning in, and letting God realign your heart—and in this episode, we break it all down through the lens of Inchstones, the small daily shifts that lead to massive spiritual transformation. (If you're new to Inchstones, here's the book we keep talking about: https://a.co/d/4CYg4vG.)In this conversation, we explore what “Stop. Look. Listen.” really means—not just as a childhood lesson, but as a spiritual command that shows up all throughout Proverbs 12. My mama and Pops may not have used those exact words, but the wisdom behind them shaped everything. Stop long enough to breathe and count your blessings. Look at the miracles that placed you in this moment. Listen to God reminding you that you are loved more than you'll ever comprehend.As the holidays bring pressure, expectations, and emotional weight, Proverbs 12 invites us to anchor ourselves in God's wisdom:• Stop for discipline, because discipline builds knowledge (v.1)• Look at the people around you—good relationships create great results (v.2–3)• Listen for God's direction (v.4)• Speak life (v.6, 13–14, 18–19, 22)• Stay humble, avoid the fake-the-funk trap (v.9)• Be kind—it's always cool (v.10)• Work your land, your way (v.11)• Listen deeply—it's your unfair advantage (v.15)• Think ahead, breathe, and reset (v.16, 20)• Let wisdom protect your future (v.21, 23–25)• Choose friends wisely (v.26)• Don't get lazy (v.27)• Righteousness produces life (v.28)The message is simple but strong: God knows exactly where you've been, where you are, and what's coming next. He is inviting you—commanding you—to stop, look, and listen so you can actually receive His love, peace, and joy… and walk in it today.If this episode added value to your day, subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube right here: https://solo.to/kellycardenasAnd while you're at it, become a free or paid subscriber of The VIBE Report on Substack to go deeper every week with Heart, Mind, and Skills alignment.

Have you ever said “yes” to something just because it felt good? Same here. I used to make big life decisions based on that warm, peaceful feeling and call it confirmation. But over time, I learned that following God isn't always about the feelings—it's about faith, obedience, and listening for His voice in deeper ways. In this episode, I share a personal story about how I almost said yes to an opportunity that looked perfect on paper—but instead, God took me on a journey of prayer, discernment, surrender, and clarity. I walk you through the steps I've learned to take when making big decisions—from praying alone to seeking wise counsel, waiting in stillness, and asking God to search my heart. This one's for you if you're in a season of “should I or shouldn't I?”, if the old ways of “feeling led” aren't quite working anymore, or if you're learning to trust God with your yes and your no.   If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

They begin with His presence. Key Questions to Bring Into Your Quiet Time: Lord, what is Your vision for my relationship with food and my body in 2026 (and beyond)? What daily habits support that vision? What weekly rhythms support that vision? What do I need to start doing? What do I need to stop doing? What do I need to strengthen? Who do I need to partner with? Lord, what distractions or habits are blocking me from hearing You clearly? What is the next faithful step You want me to take? Resources & Next Steps:

Do you ever wish God would just send you a sign? That clear answer… that specific direction… that “go this way” you've been begging Him for in your business? We all want God to spell it out for us.

Fear steals spiritual clarity, but surrendering it opens the heart to God’s personal good news. Whitney Hopler points to Luke 2:8-11, where the angel interrupts panic with a promise of rising joy through Jesus. Keywords like hearing God, good news, fear of failure, and Luke 2 shepherds belong right up front for discovery, because quieting fear is the doorway to actually receiving what God keeps trying to say. Highlights God’s best announcements lead with peace before explanation. Fear acts like interference; faith works like the reset button. Failure, rejection, and the unknown are common volume knobs stuck on too loud. Joy beats relief—it carries confidence, not just the absence of panic. Focusing on the Spirit amplifies direction and dials down dread. One brave decision at a time rewrites fear’s storyline. God’s good news is personal, persistent, and powerful enough to outshine bad thoughts. (Yes, even the dramatic ones… without needing pyrotechnics.)

Full Transcript Below: Overcome Fear to Hear God’s Good News for YouBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’” – Luke 2:8-11, NIV On the first Christmas, the shepherds in the fields outside Bethlehem were just watching their flocks on a quiet night, when suddenly, the glory of the Lord shone around them, and an angel of the Lord appeared. The angel’s very first words to the terrified were a loving command: “Do not be afraid.” The message the angel carried from God was too good to be blocked by fear. The news of a Savior for the world was meant to bring “great joy,” but the shepherds couldn’t fully hear a message of joy if their minds were preoccupied with panic. How often has fear kept you from fully perceiving and accepting the good news that God sends your way? Think about what you’re feeling afraid of right now. The fear of failure can stop you from trying something new or stepping out in faith, even when God is calling you to do so. The fear of rejection can keep you silent about your faith or cause you to hide your true self, making you feel isolated instead of enjoying the relationships God wants you to enjoy. The fear of the unknown can push you to cling to your own plans and miss out on the wonderful, unexpected blessings God places in your path. Fear can be like static that interferes with your ability to hear God’s clear voice being broadcast to you. On the first Christmas, God gave the shepherds the ultimate good news, that the world’s Savior had arrived. But God continues to give good news every day. When you’re afraid, you can miss the good news God is trying to deliver to you. In order to hear it clearly, you have to follow the angel’s simple command: “Do not be afraid.” You can do so by focusing on the news rather than the noise. The shepherds looked at the terrifying glory of God, but they didn’t let their fear of it stop them from listening to the angel delivering God’s message. You need to focus on God speaking to you through his Holy Spirit (the news) instead of on the circumstances that are making you feel afraid (the noise). God’s good news for you will cause you to experience great joy. Joy is much greater than happiness – it’s a strong confidence that, because the Savior is here with you, everything (even the most challenging circumstances) will ultimately work out well for you. So, the next time fear tries to interfere with you hearing God’s messages, remind yourself of the angel’s words: “Do not be afraid.” Push past your fear, open your mind and heart, and listen carefully. Joy is waiting for you! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider why it’s important to overcome fear to hear God’s good news for you, reflect on these questions: What type of fear (such as the fear of failure or the fear of rejection) is making it hard for you to hear God’s positive messages for you right now? In what areas of your life have you let the “glory of the Lord” – God’s presence – cause you to panic instead of paying close attention to God’s messages? How can reminding yourself that Jesus is the world’s Savior, with unlimited power, help you silence fearful thoughts? What’s one “good news” message – like one of God’s promises – from the Bible that you can focus on to replace a recurring fear? The angel promised “great joy.” How can you take a step of faith this week to move out of fear and toward embracing joy?

Our last session, and so incredibly beautiful.

How can we hear God speaking to us? The Sisters begin the new Advent season on the theme of "listening", reminding us that God is present in every moment and always reaching out to us. Join Sr. Mary Grace, Sr. Magnificat Rose, and Sr. Cora Caeli as they explore what it means to truly listen to God—to become attentive to the quiet, loving voice of Jesus within our hearts. If you'd like to receive our weekly show notes, as well as occasional updates from the Sisters of Life, text LETLOVE (one word) to 33777 to be added to our email list.

This is the final episode in the series The Listening Life: How to Hear God's Voice. Over the last few weeks we've learned to slow down, turn on the lights, and make space to hear from God. But how do we carry that into the messy middle of our real lives? In this episode, I'll share how a couple learned to lay down heavy burdens in prayer, how waiting with longing can actually bind our hearts to God, and why faith always shows up in action. Enrolling now for The Happiest Lives Academy. We start January 1.

If worship still feels like the “warm-up” before the sermon, you're missing its most powerful purpose.What if worship is actually the fastest way to tune your ears to hear God clearly……and most believers have never been taught how it really works?Today, worship leader and Bible teacher Matt Coss breaks open a revelation that will shift the way you approach God's presence — in church, in your car, and in your everyday walk with Him.

Have you ever felt desperate to hear God's direction — for your business, finances, or next steps — but ended up confused by all the advice online? Explore free resources, coaching and courses → www.funmoneyhabits.com This is my own study and in this episode, I break down how God actually speaks to His people according to Scripture — not through random impressions, emotions, visions, or mental pictures. We'll explore: ✅ How the enemy subtly deceives us by shifting trust from God's Word to our feelings ✅ How Jesus Himself heard from the Father through prayer, Scripture, dependence on the Spirit, and obedience ✅ The biblical way God guides us today through His Word, providence, and the Spirit's application ✅ Practical steps to test whether what you think is from God truly aligns with His truth This teaching is for Christian women entrepreneurs and professionals who want clarity, confidence, and peace while following God's calling — without fear, manipulation, or chasing every spiritual impulse. Scripture anchors every point: from 2 Timothy 3:16–17 to Ephesians 4:14, Psalm 19:1–2, John 14:26, and more. By the end of this episode, you'll know how to discern God's voice biblically and take steps that honor Him in your work, finances, and life. Don't let false teaching, confusing advice, or your own anxieties keep you from walking faithfully in God's will. Let His Word guide you clearly.

Send us a textWhat if hearing God was less about chasing a moment and more about walking in a steady conversation? We unpack five reliable ways to discern God's voice—Scripture, the Spirit's inner witness, wise community, peace that umpires your choices, and the clarity of open-and-closed doors—so you can move with confidence and courage.We share personal stories of guidance in marriage, ministry, and business, including dreams that redirected calling, impressions that protected timing, and opportunities that confirmed next steps. You'll learn the simple pathways many people experience—seer, hearer, feeler, knower—and why God often speaks through pictures and prompts that grow trust, not confusion. We also get practical about the hardest question: is it me, God, or the enemy? Our five-discernment filter helps you test any impression against Scripture, God's character, peace versus chaos, confirmation from mature believers, and whether it requires faith and advances a mission bigger than your ego.We talk candidly about prophecy with humility, why accountability beats “God said” declarations, and how fruit over time reveals true direction. If you've felt stuck in silence, you'll discover how God's quiet seasons still form you, and how everyday attentiveness turns down the noise so you can follow the still small voice.

Do you ever wonder if God is speaking — and you're just missing it? As working Christian moms, our lives are full of noise — meetings, carpool lines, family needs, endless to-do lists. We crave direction, peace, and reassurance from God, but in the chaos of everyday life, His voice can feel distant or silent. But what if God has been speaking all along — and we've simply been looking for Him in the wrong places? In this episode, I'm sharing four powerful ways to recognize God's voice in the middle of your everyday rhythms. You'll learn how to quiet distractions, tune your heart to His Spirit, and understand the different ways God may already be speaking to you — through Scripture, peace, conviction, and even small, ordinary moments. You're not alone — and God is closer than you think.
