I had the honor of speaking at a local church recently about hearing from God. Not because I’m an expert on the topic — actually quite the opposite.
I chose this topic because it’s always been a sticky spot for me, and I desperately wanted to experience some sort of breakthrough in this area. (And if not a breakthrough, I would have happily settled for just not being scared of it.)
I’ve been wrestling with hearing from God for decades; and I’m here today to tell you that while I’m certainly not an expert, the past few months have absolutely been a turning point1.
I sure hope you’ll listen in today, friends. Perhaps this could be the start of a turning point for you too.
The book I reference in the teaching that served as the exclamation point to this season of wrestling is How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People by Pete Greig. John Mark Comer puts it perfectly when he says it’s “The best book I have ever read on the most important thing you will ever do.” YUP.
The devotional I read from at the very beginning is Jackie Hill Perry’s Upon Waking, and I cannot recommend it enough!
