Summary

As we continue our week on knowing God through experiencing him, today we’ll explore what it means and looks like to experience his voice. This can often be an intimidating topic. Many of us feel inadequate or even unable to hear the voice of God—but nothing could be further than the truth. I hope today you will feel the pressure or weight lift off your shoulders as you learn just how simple relationship with and knowing God truly is.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 8:47, and today's worship is Whisper by Jason Upton.

Just like when I seek true relationship with a person, a conversation must happen.

When we seek to truly know God, he talks with us. He's not a God who's silent, but a god who speaks to us in any and every way he can.
