Summary

Have you ever wondered: Does God still speak? If he does, how does he speak? And what is he saying? How can I know that it’s him?

In the last two episodes of the series, we learned about talking to God and talking with God. And like in many contexts in our modern world, we are better at talking than we are at listening. So what does it look like to listen to God? To hear his voice?

In this third movement, listening to God, you’ll hear about six different ways that God speaks and three challenges that encompass our inability to hear him.

These podcasts accompany nine Practices developed by Practicing the Way. Thanks to the generosity of The Circle, these Practices are now free. To learn more about The Circle or to participate in a Practice with your church, community, or small group, visit www.practicingtheway.org.
