If you've ever wondered how to hear God's voice, you're not alone. Many Christians ask, Does God still speak today? How do I know it's really Him? Can I teach my kids to hear God's voice too? In this episode of Java with Jen, Pastor Jenilee Samuel sits down with Heather O'Brien to explore practical, biblical ways to hear God's voice, grow in spiritual discernment, and deepen your relationship with Jesus—without making it weird.
Heather didn't begin learning to hear God's voice until she was 30 years old, despite following Jesus since childhood. What started as simple curiosity became the pathway God used to bring healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and a deeper revelation of His love.
