Authority in Christ and our ability to hear God

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +1000

Do I trust God enough that He will answer me?

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:00:00 +1000

Trusting God enough that He will answer me is directly tied to our identity in God and what we believe about God. Is God trustworthy?

Hearing God in a Winter Season of Dryness and Despair

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +1000

Winter can be a time of withdrawal, retreat, stagnation, and closure. A time for transitions and endings. It can be a bleak and disheartening season, where you endure and wait longingly, struggling to hear God and perhaps feeling distant from Him. A time when you may be tempted to pull away from God or feel that God is silent. We unpack why it is so important not to 'camp' in this season but to move through it. We ask the question, 'what if the goal of this season was learning to wait well?' and how that may well change our attitude throughout this season, as waiting can be a spiritual discipline. We also explore how 'why' questions can often be fruitless and examine what can be helpful instead. Join us as we explore hearing God during the winter season and offer practical suggestions on how to handle the waiting.

Hearing God in Various Seasons of Life

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +1000

In life, we experience not only the weather seasons but also metaphorical seasons, such as dry and barren seasons, the waiting season, the busy season, a season of celebration, or a season of spiritual warfare, among others. No season is perfect. Each season has its unique problems. The way we handle one season profoundly impacts how we experience the seasons that follow. Seasons are not a punishment from God. Instead, they are a time of preparation and growth. Our attitude is so crucial in the season we are currently in. There are certain things we have no control over, but by doing the right thing in our current season and maintaining the correct attitude towards it, we can prepare for the next season and thrive, regardless of which season we find ourselves in. Join us as we explore how to hear God in various seasons of life.

Life often seems to throw us 'curve balls', and we can end up living lives different from what we imagined. How we deal with these events is vital. In the Bible, Moses dealt with significant events in his life, especially when he went from a 'somebody' living in a royal palace to a 'nobody' in the outback. He then discovered what God can do with a person fully devoted to Him. Join us as we unpack how Moses heard God amid these events and how it can relate to our life.

Hearing God when your faith is tested

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 17:00:00 +1100

How do you respond when you're required to do something contrary to your beliefs and principles? Join us as we unpack how Jochebed in the Bible (Moses' mother) handled an order as a midwife to not only kill male babies but also the actions she took to save her baby boy. It may be a bit of a stretch to say Jochebed 'heard' God. It's probably more how she responded to God throughout this time. Jochebed was willing to make difficult decisions and great sacrifices, putting her whole family at risk. But God. Just as God quietly orchestrated events in the life of Jochebed, be assured that He is also working behind the scenes in your life.

Did Abraham get it wrong in hearing God?

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +1100

Was Abraham mentally unstable? Did he really hear God tell him to kill his son? What if God asked us to do something bizarre? How would we respond? There were also other occasions when Abraham made some questionable choices. It's probably not that much different to us at times. Perhaps that's part of the tension of living by faith. Join us as we unpack the story of Abraham in the Bible and the significant times he heard God. This episode also looks at the principle of returning to the last time you heard God if God appears silent.

Hearing God in the face of adversity

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +1100

Despite being described in the Bible as a man after God’s own heart, David had many failings. Yet, repeatedly, he displayed courage in the face of adversity and quickly repented when he was wrong. When David was faced with a problem, he enquired of the Lord. When he had trouble hearing God, he did the work to distinguish God’s voice from the noise around him and the ‘noise’ within him. Join us as we unpack the story of David in the Bible, the principles we can learn from it, and how to apply them to our lives in hearing God.

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 17:00:00 +1100

The story of Leah in the Bible is a messy, complicated, and beautiful story from Scripture. A whole gamut of emotions is displayed – deception, lies, jealousy, envy, desperation, disappointment, despair, heartache and longing, comparison, bitterness, pain and agony with unfulfilled promises.

Hearing God in bizarre ways and trusting that it is God

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +1000

How do I know if the crazy vision I had was from God? How do I know if the voice I heard was God, myself, or something else?

Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at these issues and unpack how Ezekiel in the Bible heard God.

Hearing God through my spirit being stirred up

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +1000

Sometimes, we can get comfortable and 'forget' the bigger picture. We can misplace our priorities. That's what happened to the Jewish people after the exile. But, in the book of Haggai, we finally see that the people of Judah listened and obeyed a prophet!! This is an excellent example of a time when God spoke, stirred up their spirits, and the people listened. They heard. They changed their behaviour. God chose to work out His purposes through the faithfulness and obedience of His people. When God asks you to do something, do it. When God stirs up your spirit, He requires an outcome, an action. Haggai also urges caution numerous times with the phrase 'give careful thought to your ways'. Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how Haggai in the Bible heard from God.

Hearing God when I don't want to

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +1000

Jonah is a fantastic story of a God who never gives up on us despite our attitudes and actions. A God who cares for everyone no matter what they have done.

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 11:00:00 +1000

If you are struggling with God's call on your life, the story of Jeremiah and his response to God is extremely relevant. Jeremiah is a story of ups and downs, redemption and bitterness, rejection, loneliness, ridicule, backstabbing, murder, deceit, courage, imprisonment and danger – all for being faithful to what God said. If ever there was a time for someone to say, "I told you so", Jeremiah had the right. Jeremiah is a reminder that we are to go directly to God and not base our 'hearing from God' through other people. But the book of Jeremiah and his life is also a story of hope and promise – if you seek to find God, you will not be disappointed. Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how the prophet Jeremiah heard from God.
