Summary

Is God silent? Can Christians hear the voice of God? Are there still prophets? The Thinking Fellows spend this week's episode addressing concerns and questions about the silence of God. Many people use God's supposed silence as proof of his existence. In contrast, others claim to have received specific revelations from him. The Thinking Fellows address the ways that God has and continues to speak to his creation.

0:00.0	Hello there and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith and the Thinking Fellows is brought to you by the 1517 podcast network of shows. You can go to 1517.org slash podcasts to see all of our shows there. Today I am joined by my father, Scott Keith, by Bruce Hillman, and by Adam Francisco.
0:39.4	Today we are doing an episode in sort of a list of topics that were brainstormed over, you know,
0:46.6	Christmas and Thanksgiving, little refresher time, able to look at the year and start brainstorming

2:00.7	We don't run ads on the podcast network,
2:03.0	and part of that is to keep these conversations conversational, to not interrupt the ideas
2:08.1	with ads and to not ruin your listening experience with ads for things like websites and
2:13.7	razors and all sorts of stuff you don't really care about that much.
2:18.7	And the other way that people monetize podcasts that we are avoiding as well is putting content
