Summary

In this episode, we have a special announcement to make (23:47). But before we do, we use this episode to talk about hearing the voice of God.

In a time with so many voices filling your head, how can you discern, is it my voice or God's voice I'm hearing? Or what if it's some other voice? We tell stories from our own journey that might help you learn to trust His voice more in your life.

In this episode, we talk about:

* Why we have a difficult time discerning the voice of God* How to begin discerning the voice of God in your everyday life* Whether what we take in feeds fear or faith* Why listening to the Holy Spirit leads to loving our neighbor* The consequences of obeying the voice of God when we hear Him speak

0:49.1	for me, when I get caught up in, especially leading into the holidays here, I mean, we are in
0:53.7	holiday season,
0:54.9	the time of joy and hope and the anticipation, you know, we're doing Advent and it's like

1:07.6	of preparing our hearts for the second coming when Jesus is coming back.

1:15.6	Is he coming back?
1:16.3	And, you know, he will at some point and someday.
1:19.5	And that's the whole point.
1:20.6	We've got to prepare our hearts for that.
1:22.1	Whether he comes in our lifetimes, whether he comes back in your children's lifetime or your children's children, we got to prepare our hearts and we got to prepare our children's hearts.
1:30.1	And I think right now in this season, that's what this is all about.
