Episode 8: How Can I Grow in My Ability to Hear God?
God desires to communicate with us. He longs to be involved in every aspect of our life and for us to be intimate with Him. Sometimes we can feel like we are not able to hear God clearly or to recognise what He is saying to us. This episode is full of practical ways we can practice hearing God. We ended up splitting this episode into two as we had so many tips for growing in our ability to hear God.
Episode Notes:
- Cultivate intimacy with God
- Focus on God.
- Be obedient to God in the little things. Eg parable of the faithful steward.
