Are you truly waiting on God — or are you avoiding obedience because it feels uncomfortable? If you've been wondering how to know God's will, how to hear God's voice clearly, or whether you're delaying because of fear, this message is for you. James 2:17 says, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." In this episode of Chosen By Jesus with Kelley and Taylor Tyan — ranked in the Top 1% of Christian podcasts worldwide and reaching 21 countries — we unpack what waiting on God really means and how faith in action requires obedience before comfort. By God's grace, this community has grown to: • 109,000+ views • 940+ hours watched • Viewers in 21 countries • 57,000+ views in the United States In uncertain times — from personal hardship to global conflict — many believers struggle with trusting God in uncertain times and stepping out in faith. But biblical faith has never required perfect conditions. It requires movement. This Bible-based teaching covers: • Waiting on God vs. avoiding obedience • Faith without works explained (James 2:17) • How to step out in faith when you feel afraid • Overcoming fear biblically • Christian obedience in real life • Hearing God's voice and responding with courage Sometimes fear disguises itself as spiritual wisdom. Sometimes delay looks like discernment. But obedient waiting produces peace. Avoidant waiting produces excuses. ⸻ Reflection: • Has God already spoken? • Am I asking for clarity when I really want certainty? • If fear wasn't involved, what would I do next? You don't need another confirmation. You need courage. ⸻ Scriptures: James 2:17 Ecclesiastes 11:4 ⸻ Prayer: Lord, give us discernment to know when You are asking us to wait — and courage when You are asking us to move. Where we've delayed obedience, strengthen us. Teach us faith in action and help us choose obedience over comfort.

Can Christians pursue success in business without sidelining their faith—or turning God into just another “box” in life? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer sits down with Andrea Anderson, Christian business coach and author of Bread Like Rain, to talk about surrendered strategy, discipleship, and what it really means to follow Christ in entrepreneurial work. Andrea shares her journey from cultural Christianity to atheism and agnosticism—and eventually to a living faith shaped by loss, prayer, and God’s persistent pursuit. Her move into life coaching and consulting didn’t come from a desire to optimize productivity alone, but from a deeper question: How do I help people experience lasting, eternal transformation rather than temporary fixes? Drawing from her work with Christian business owners, Andrea explains why many leaders experience recurring chaos despite good intentions: self-reliance and control quietly replace trust in God. The solution isn’t better tactics at ground level, but a top-down reordering—learning to ask what the Lord is saying and aligning vision, strategy, and identity accordingly. When leaders build from misalignment, results never last. When they build from surrender, fruit endures. James and Andrea explore how discipleship must shape leadership, why faith cannot be compartmentalized into “God,” “work,” and “family” boxes, and how obedience opens our eyes to what God is already doing. They also discuss the dangers of redefining success apart from God’s purposes—where profitability, health, relationships, and obedience must be held together rather than traded off against one another. The conversation touches on prayer, listening for God’s voice, and why many Christians struggle to slow down spiritually: not because they don’t know prayer matters, but because they doubt they can actually hear God. Andrea introduces the idea of a “faith optimization gap”—the distance between what we know and what we truly believe—and how that gap quietly shapes decisions, priorities, and burnout. Finally, Andrea offers a candid reflection on the modern church: discipleship requires more than encouragement and affirmation. True love includes correction, accountability, and refining relationships shaped by Christ—not cultural comfort. Topics include: From organizing spaces to organizing lives under Christ Why self-reliance creates recurring chaos in leadership Faith, profitability, and God’s definition of success Compartmentalization vs. surrendered discipleship Prayer as communion, not a spiritual checklist Hearing God’s voice in daily decisions Church discipline, accountability, and real community Bread Like Rain and Andrea’s upcoming book, Rock Solid Business You can find out more about Andrea at https://andrealeighco.com.

Have you ever felt torn when you see another church leader fall publicly?Part of you wants to defend the Church, but another part of you knows we can't just sweep sin under the rug. We are seeing headlines everywhere about "Cover-Up Culture," and honestly, it's "trendy", in some instances it may be true, and in some, it may be love seeking to cover. But it leaves us with a really hard question: Is it ever okay to judge? And how do we JUDGE RIGHTLY without being JUDGEMENTAL?We've been taught "Judge not," but does that mean we stay silent when leadership turns toxic?In this episode, my friend Leigh Sloan (Pastor & Author) joins me to have a raw, honest conversation about the difference between being judgmental and exercising righteous judgment. We are peeling back the layers on how to spot the difference between a "mistake" and a "pattern," and how to guard your own heart from bitterness when the leaders you looked up to let you down.Grab your coffee, friend. We need to talk about this. ☕️In this episode, we discuss:Cover-Up Culture: what's the difference between love that covers, and unhealthy cover-upsDiscernment vs. Suspicion: How to know if you are sensing the Holy Spirit or just being critical.The "Lumpy Carpet": What happens when we try to ignore the mess in the church.Restoration: Is it possible for fallen leaders to come back?

He read the entire New Testament in a weekend. Fasted for 40 days. Got a Bible college degree. Got ordained. Pastored a church.And after all of that — 10 years of trying — he still couldn't hear God's voice.Mark Virkler wasn't casual about his faith. He was desperate for it to work. But every method he tried led to the same result: silence. No one could explain what God's voice actually sounded like. One teacher called it "subterranean rumblings of the spiritual mind." Another said "you just know that you know." None of it helped.Then one morning, God woke him up with a voice he couldn't ignore and pointed him to Habakkuk 2:1-2 — where he found 4 simple steps that changed everything:Stillness — quiet yourself and get beyond your own thoughtsVision — fix the eyes of your heart on JesusFlow — tune to spontaneous, flowing thoughtsJournaling — write down what you receiveWhat surprised Mark most? He realized he'd been hearing God his whole life — he just didn't know what to listen for. Those "brilliant thoughts" that seemed to come out of nowhere? That creative solution? That nudge to call someone? That was God. He'd just been attributing it to his own mind.In this conversation, Mark shares the full story — the 10 years of frustration, the wrong definitions that kept him stuck, the moment it broke open, and how an 8-year-old granddaughter now uses these same steps every single day.If you've ever thought "Why can't I hear God?" — this might be the reason.
Hard times are no respecter of persons, we all experience these, and like my friend, Sarah Freymuth points out, there are no instructions for times like these and no platitudes or forced positivity will bring us the peace we crave. Sarah is the author of All the Hard Things: 50 Days Through the Valley and is offering truth to help reinforce our faith in God's intimate goodness. She writes:“When we stare into a cavern of grief from the loss of a beloved one, or a medical diagnosis with a wicked track history, we're faced with a faith that either holds up or unfolds, collapses or expands. It can get muddy when the platitudes we've held don't seem to hold up under the sheer force of what's threatening to knock us down.”Sarah Freymuth is the content and storytelling manager for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and she writes for numerous platforms, including Proverbs 31 Ministries, YouVersion, (in)Courage, and She Reads Truth. Sarah loves unearthing God's goodness in places that don't feel good, with a heart especially for faith and mental health. She enjoys a simple Wisconsin life by Lake Michigan with her husband, Eric, and Beaglier pup, Alfie Hitchcock.

In “We Walk by Faith – Part 2,” Pastor Daniel Stevens invites us to reflect on the foundation of our spiritual life. Salvation does not come through effort or rule keeping. It begins by believing the message of Christ. If our relationship with God starts by faith, then every next step forward must also be taken by faith. Hearing God's Word is powerful, but transformation happens when we truly believe it.Pastor Daniel Stevens points to the disciples asking for more faith and reminds us that even small faith can produce big results. Yet we are not meant to stay small. God calls us into new identities, new levels of obedience, and new trust long before we see visible evidence. Whether you are believing for healing, growth, freedom, or restoration, the invitation is clear: trust what God has said and walk it out.

Spiritual Practice of Hearing God's Word. This is a call to "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly," (Col. 3:16) John MacArthur offers four helpful ways for the Word of God to dwell in us richly: Hear It; Handle It Rightly, Hide It, Hold It Fast. This message will consider: Reading God's Word (Hear It) Studying God's Word (Handle It Rightly) Meditating and Memorizing God's Word (Hide It) Living God's Word (Holding It Fast)
Are you sure the voice you're following is actually Jesus?In John 10, Jesus says we're all following someone. The question is who. In a world packed with influencers, opinions, and spiritual noise, it's easy to mistake a loud voice for a true one. Jesus calls Himself the Good Shepherd and the Door. He warns that false teachers are thieves who steal, kill, and destroy. Real life, real freedom, and real peace are found by learning to recognize His voice through Scripture and following Him out of the chaos into something better.

We've spent a lot of time in this series talking about how to hear the voice of the shepherd, which Jesus promised was a reality for his followers in John 10, but the reality is there are times we will miss it. Many people report they have a frustrating experience trying to hear God's voice. The Bible actually has a lot to say about why we might miss hearing God's voice, and it's a common enough experience that it's worth its own sermon. In this message, Pastor Joel walks through several stories in scripture where we see people struggling to hear God's voice, considering what we might learn from them. On the one hand, it might have to do with realities in the spiritual world outside of our control that we deal with as we open ourselves up to the spiritual world and listen to the voice of a spiritual being. And on the other hand, sometimes it's “user error,” issues with our lives or hearts that crowd out the voice of God finding its way to us. The good news is that Jesus has made it so we never have to fear God has shut us out from him for good if we earnestly seek him.

In this conversation, I'm talking to my Christian sisters in business about why God's will isn't something we "figure out" like a formula. But it's something we learn through relationship. Because if we don't know His voice, we'll either move in fear, move in striving, or we'll start calling our own thoughts "God" and then wondering why nothing has peace on it. I'm breaking down the difference between flesh and Spirit, and why discernment matters so much when you're making decisions with money, time, family, and your calling on the line. I talk about stillness, not as a cute spiritual idea, but as a real practice that re-centers you so you can actually recognize what's Him and what's pressure. I also give practical ways to test what you think you're hearing, why community matters for discernment, and why you need to be careful with the phrase "God told me" when you haven't actually submitted it to Scripture, peace, and wise counsel. The goal isn't to be dramatic or mystical. The goal is to build holy confidence rooted in truth, so you're not led by anxiety or hype, but by intimacy and obedience.

Do you feel you are getting “too old” to meet your spouse? Do you feel “left behind” as others around you are getting married, having kids? Do you feel you will never meet your life partner?This can be a hard place to be in. It can feel like you aren't moving forward in life as you thought you would. Maybe you are approaching your 30s or 40s and you think you should have been married by now. When will it ever happen? Will it ever happen?This thought can hold you back. It can make you believe you are less than. This comes down to self trust, self worth, self talk and (the big one) COMPARISON! This also puts limits on God. He has the ultimate plan for your life.

Struggling with distractions? Learn how the cares of life can choke the Word of God in your heart and gain practical tips for building a listening relationship with God.
Last week we looked at hearing God's voice through the scriptures-His written word. Learning to hear God's voice through His written word is how we learn to hear His voice everywhere else. The scriptures are the training ground. This week we are learning to hear or speak God's voice on behalf of an individual or group-or in other words, to hear His voice through prophecy.CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.

Here is a practical reflection on how to discern God's quiet, trustworthy voice amid the many competing voices of our noisy world.
What if the reason you struggle to hear God isn't that He's silent… but that other voices are louder?In Week 3 of Hearing God, we lean into a powerful truth: God speaks through the Holy Spirit. And not in a weird, mystical, unpredictable way—but as an Advocate. A Defender. A Guide.Jesus called the Holy Spirit our parakletos—our defense attorney. When lies creep in, when shame gets loud, when insecurity starts preaching at you, the Spirit steps in and reminds you of what is actually true.In this message, we unpack:What Jesus really meant in John 14 and 16Why the Holy Spirit will never contradict ScriptureThe four competing voices that try to drown out GodWhy small “yes” moments shape your futureHow the Spirit guides you into truth, not confusionThrough real-life stories—from a terrifying emergency C-section to descending 250 feet into Mammoth Cave—we talk about control, trust, and what it looks like to actually follow the Spirit's lead.
As we continue in our series, learning to hunger for more of God and find ourselves satisfied in Him, we come to the scriptures. The scriptures are the training ground for hearing and discerning the voice of God. CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.

This series has focused on God's voice in six specific ways that we know he speaks to people, but we can't ever take it for granted that God does and has spoken to us most strongly in the Bible itself. It might happen more than you think that you're waiting for God to speak to you through one of the means we've discussed in the series already but you might not realize the answer you seek is already there waiting for you in Scripture. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks how Scripture is God's word and how it has a power to it that is unique among books to deconstruct and cultivate our hearts and minds. He also talks about several important ways to discern the voice of God in Scripture.
The post Part IV. Hearing God appeared first on Table Life Church of the Nazarene.
John and Jenny unpack how indoctrinated obedience in high-control Christianity breaks a person's will, replaces self-trust with leader-trust, and creates lifelong patterns of shame, fear, and decision paralysis. They dig into Jenny's time in Youth With A Mission and John's years in Branhamism, exploring how “hearing the voice of God” often meant obeying leaders, how loaded language around the Great Commission and urgency fueled constant pressure to perform, and how people learn to see themselves as spiritually infantile and incapable of making their own choices. Together they talk about what happens after you leave—racing thoughts, agonizing over small decisions, and the grief of realizing how much life was missed—while naming practical pathways toward healing. Jenny offers nervous-system tools like slow breathing and visual scanning, shares why movement and improv have been so powerful in her own recovery, and John describes small “rebellious” experiments in choice that helped him rebuild basic self-trust. The conversation holds both the weight of what was lost and a grounded hope that it is possible to heal, think clearly again, and build a life that actually fits you. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham Visit the website: https://william-branham.org
Let's be honest.When God feels silent, your brain does not stay neutral.It fills in the blanks.And most of the time? It fills them in wrong.In this episode with Autumn Miles, we're talking about the five sneaky beliefs that MANY people experience that can start surfacing when we don't feel clarity, confirmation, or that familiar sense of God's nearness.These aren't dramatic, obvious lies.They're subtle.They sound spiritual, or at least humble.And they quietly distort how we hear Him, and how we view ourselves.If you've ever thought, “Why does this feel harder than it should?” — this one's for you.-------------------------------------✈️ Come to Greece with Me!We're walking where the Bible happened—Athens, Corinth & Santorini!

I hosted a 20-minute interview with Boris, who has taken about 1500 Russian-speaking people through the full course on Hearing God's Voice. Here is our exciting conversation!Original blog with video available here.A suggested way you could share the four keys to hearing Gods voice - Weekly meeting design for a 1 hour or 2-hour meeting Greeting – fun chatting as people arriveLesson review 15 min – key points from the assigned video(s) they watched (Can choose to watch 1 or 2 videos per week). Or you can share your Zoom screen and watch a 1 hour video together). It would be best for people to have obtained the books 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice and LEARN 4 Keys workbook). Journaling for 8 min (Quiet journaling time where they complete the assigned journaling questions – assumption being that even though these were assigned to be done before class, people will not have them done) Breakout rooms - 3 people in each room (10 min/person to read their journaling and be affirmed). This creates a trusting family atmosphere, and people gain confidence that they are hearing God's voice.Main room – people come back to the main group and share testimonies, ask questions, and close with prayer Close the meeting by informing them of the next video lesson and homework.Currently, Boris is running 3 simultaneous 4-key groups.Journaling applicationHearing God's voice is as simple as: 1) quieting down (Ps. 62:1-5), 2) beholding Jesus at my right hand (Ps. 16:8; Acts 2:25), 3) asking for His revelation and tuning to flowing thoughts and flowing pictures (Jn. 7:37-39; Jer. 2:13; 10 pictures), and 4) recording this flow (Hab. 2:1,2; Rev. 1:9-11). I then test it, ensuring it lines up with Scripture (Ps. 1:2; Jn. 10:35; 1 Thess. 5:2) and is affirmed in the hearts of my three spiritual advisors (2 Cor. 13:1; Prov. 11:14).

If you've ever wondered how to actually hear God and not just collect more information about Him, this message is for you.In Week 2 of our Hearing God journey, we get practical. We talk about how God consistently speaks through Scripture, not in random or confusing ways, but through clear patterns, principles, and a bigger story that points us to Jesus. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3 and John 10, this message helps reframe the Bible from a confusing textbook into a living, relational story that equips us for everyday life.We break down how to read the Bible with clarity, how to understand its different genres, and how to discern what's essential versus what's personal conviction. You'll also get simple, realistic tools to build a sustainable rhythm of engaging with Scripture so you can better recognize God's voice and follow His leading.This series is designed for the whole church, from kids to adults, and it's never too late to jump in. Our hope is simple: that you wouldn't just hear God's voice, but learn to trust it and live it out.If this message helps you, take a next step. Attend the series, grab the free guide, and join a small group. Growth was never meant to happen alone.
You can be saved and still have a fragmented soul. In this episode of Student of Life, I reflect on a simple but weighty question: How is your soul? Scripture calls us to be formed into the image of Christ—mind, heart, body, and soul. But when areas in us remain unhealed or untouched, they don't stay private—especially in leadership. We talk about the difference between salvation and formation, hearing and obeying, and why mastering the language of healing without doing the work can still hurt people. This isn't about perfection. It's about honesty, formation, and leading from a whole soul.Student of Life Guide — How Is Your Soul?Key IdeaSalvation is immediate, but formation is lifelong. What remains fragmented in us eventually impacts others.3 Big InsightsYou can be saved and still need soul formation. Grace initiates salvation; obedience shapes maturity.Fragmented souls affect people, not just leaders. Influence multiplies what's unresolved.Hearing God's Word means obeying it. Fluency without obedience creates the illusion of wholeness.Reflection QuestionsHow is my soul—not my role, not my output, but my inner life?What part of me feels unhealed, avoided, or untouched?Where might my leadership be shaped more by coping than by formation?PracticeSit with one familiar passage this week (Psalm 23, James 1, or Colossians 2).Ask:“What is this revealing about my soul?”“What step of obedience is being invited?”Don't rush it.Anchor Thought“You can know the truth and still need to be formed by it.”

In Week 4 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Jason Britt shifts our focus to the inner strength available through the Holy Spirit. We often treat the Spirit as an optional guest, but Ephesians 3 reminds us that He is the source of our power, intended to dwell in our hearts through faith. Drawing from Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:14-19, this message explores what it looks like to be "rooted and grounded" in God's love. It's not just about knowing about God; it's about being filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. If you have felt spiritually depleted or disconnected, this message will help you tap into the "glorious riches" of His strength. Key takeaways from Week 4: Inner Strength: How the Spirit strengthens your "inner being" to handle outward pressure. The Dwelling: Moving from the Spirit visiting your life to the Spirit residing in your heart. The Dimensions of Love: Grasping the width, length, height, and depth of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.

As a church, we recognize that if we are to live out the great commission, then one thing is essential: We must be a people who hear God. In the last 5 weeks, we have talked about the practical ways God speaks - through Scripture, through prayer, through other people, and through our circumstances. Additionally, we must recognize that hearing God is not first a skill to master, but a relationship to tend. God is speaking, we just need to position ourselves to hear him.
