How do I know if God is actually speaking to me?
That can be a difficult question, especially when you're trying to make decisions, walking through relational turmoil, dealing with strong emotions, or simply wondering why God seems silent.
In this episode of the Secret Habit Podcast, Shawn Bonneteau and Helena share what they have been learning about hearing from God, learning to recognize His voice, and developing a deeper relationship with Him.
This conversation gets especially personal as Shawn shares about seasons where he felt like God wasn't speaking and how that exposed deeper beliefs, emotions, and expectations in his relationship with the Lord.
Rather than treating hearing from God as a mysterious experience reserved for a select few, this episode explores what it can look like to keep seeking, keep knocking, become more honest with God, and learn through relationship and discipleship.
We also talk about the difference between your relationship with God and your fellowship with God, why your view of God can be shaped by your experiences with authority figures, and why other people can play an important role in helping us understand what God may be doing in our lives.
In this episode, we explore:
- How do I know if God is speaking to me?
- What can I do when God feels silent?
- How emotions and past experiences can affect the way we hear God
- The difference between relationship with God and fellowship with God
- Why learning God's voice is a process
- How Scripture, prayer, and discipleship fit together
- Why we don't have to walk our spiritual journey alone
- How God can use difficult seasons to reveal things in our hearts
If you've been asking, “God, are you speaking to me?” this episode is an invitation to keep seeking Him rather than assuming He's absent.
