Episode Description:

How do you know whether to rent or buy a house? This was the dilemma facing Peter Yaxley (our guest on this episode of the Hearing God Podcast.) So, together with his wife Kathryn, they asked God and clearly heard an answer through separate Bible verses. Peter and Kathryn are good friends of Gary & Jane. They operate a ministry called Kingdom Presence Ministries that equips people to hear God and grow in their journey of hearing God. (You can find Jane’s interview with Kathryn in Episode 45.) Listen to Jane and Peter’s conversation as they chat about Peter’s journey of becoming a Christian and starting to hear God.
