Summary

A few years ago, my friend Kelsey Philips hit a crisis in her life. She felt physically unwell, depressed and desperate for healing. She connected with a missionary couple from her church who prayed with her and over her for two hours. It was in that prayer time that Kelsey recognized God’s voice for the first time.

“He had been speaking to me for a long time. I just didn't know it was him. When you have an encounter like that, he speaks to these places that are so deep. He is healing wounds that are so far back and he is breaking you free of chains that are so heavy and hard and real. You don't ever want to go back to a place where you don't have that.”

I believe we can hear God’s voice and that he is still speaking today. As Kelsey reminds us, there’s no better time than now to practice listening to the Lord. 

“It does require solitude and quiet and that is not our nature. But here we are in a season where we are in worldwide rest. We are forced into this place of quiet. We've all had to come off of the hamster wheel and this has been an incredible time to allow space to listen to him about what he's doing on so many levels.”

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.

0:10.4

I'm your host, Heather McFaddean, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

0:18.9

And in this episode, it is week three of our summer of mentorship

0:22.9

with my friend Kelsey Phillips. Actually, it wasn't the first time. It was just the first time I

0:29.3

recognized that that was the voice of the Lord. He had been speaking to me a long time. I just

0:33.5

didn't know that was him. And he spoke to me in many different ways.

0:43.5

And when you have an encounter like that, when he speaks to these places that are so deep,

0:47.6

and he's helping you heal wounds that are so far back,

0:53.5

and he is breaking you free of chains that are so heavy and hard and real,

0:57.9

and he's giving you pictures that only he could give you.

1:04.2

That changes your relationship forever. And you don't ever want to go back to a place where you don't have that. Because when he speaks, it is good, it is true, it is life-giving, it is peaceful, it is loving, it is kind.

1:13.8

So this conversation with Kelsey originally aired in March, March 30th of 2020.

1:21.7

And if you know, you know, we didn't know, really, truly at the extent of all that was going to be going on.

1:29.8

But we do reference COVID, I think, quite a bit in this episode.

1:33.2

So I just wanted to set the context for you.

1:36.2

And if you haven't listened to the other two episodes of our summer of mentorship,

1:41.5

let me remind you what we do in the summer

1:44.2

as we republish previous episodes.

1:46.3

And this summer, we're focusing in on episodes

1:48.9

that somewhat align with a book I read in January

1:52.4

called Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.

1:55.5

And the three parts of practicing the way
