Tune Into the Holy Spirit | Discernment, Trusting God, Biblical Encouragement, Faith, Prophetic

People are often telling us and talking about the beauty and importance of spending time in God's Presence. But how do we actually, practically make that happen? How do we "exit" our day-to-day lives and enter into that quiet time with God where we tangibly feel His nearness?
In today's episode, I'm sharing how, as I prepared for the labor and delivery of my son, I accidentally stumbled upon a key insight that helped me quickly enter into God's Presence. And, the best part is, it all stems from Scripture.
If you're feeling dull in your faith or struggling with legalism and need a little bit of Biblical encouragement splashed into your day, this episode, this testimony, is for you!

One of my favorite things about hearing God's voice is being able to hear and discern the Holy Spirit for someone else. When you get to hear God and share what you heard to bring Biblical encouragement to someone who needs it... there is nothing like it!
In today's episode, I am sharing the most high-stakes prophetic word I have ever shared with someone, and let me tell you, I was shaking in my boots!
As you listen, my hope and prayer is that this testimony encourages your to practice hearing and discerning the Holy Spirit for the purpose of sharing a prophetic word with someone else. It is so encouraging to our faith when we get to experience firsthand how the Lord is moving, and you can be a part of that in someone's life.
So, let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit!

Feeling from distant from God? Struggling to stay consistent with your quiet time? Has it been a while since you picked up your Bible, dug into God's Word, and did a little Bible study time?
In today's episode, we're getting into the beautiful connection between hearing God's voice, spending time in Scripture, and growing in intimacy with God. I've got a testimony for you today of how the prophetic, how prophecy, not only edifies the hearer (the Body of Christ) but also brings Biblical encouragement to the one sharing the prophetic word!

Ever feel like the things you're struggling with aren't important to God? Wondering if the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, actually cares about what you're walking through?
In today's episode, I am sharing how the Lord gave me a prophetic word that showed the receiver (and myself!) how much He truly knows us and cares about us.
I hope this builds up your faith in our good God, brings you Biblical encouragement to press into hearing God's voice, and stirs up your hunger to grow in prophecy.

Want to fast-track your ability to hear God's voice? Wish you could know for sure if you were hearing the Holy Spirit or not -- without all the confusion?
In today's episode, we explore how prophecy, and practicing walking in the prophetic, is one of the very best ways that you can grow in intimacy with the Lord and grow in hearing the voice of God.
We take a quick survey into Scripture to get a Biblical framework for what prophecy is and then, you'll hear a story of how hearing God's voice not only helps grow our intimacy with God but also brings Biblical encouragement to the Body of Christ. I hope this testimony encourages your faith and stirs up your hunger to grow in the prophetic.

Not only were social media and Netflix major problems in my life, but I also struggled with another addiction that was even more shameful to me. I did everything that I could think of to try to overcome it. Everything.
And yet, I could not seem to get real, lasting freedom.
In today's episode, I am sharing the testimony of how the Lord set me free -- actually FREE -- from addiction. This is not a testimony of hearing God's voice like the others are, but it is a story of encountering the Lord's Presence and His power.
I know many of you struggle with social media addictions, and maybe other addictions as well, so I pray that this gives you Biblical encouragement today and strengthens your faith in our great Jehovah Rapha -- the God who Heals You.
So, let's tune out the world and tune into the Holy Spirit.

I could not figure out why I was fatigued, and I was days away from going on my first backpacking trip.
One morning, I woke up so exhausted that all I could think to do was cry out to the Lord. In this quiet time, the Holy Spirit revealed to me exactly what was going on with my health.
I'm so excited to share this prayer testimony with you and the extra little detail the Lord through in to give me real time Biblical encouragement when I needed it most. I hope that this testimony of hearing God's voice is encouraging to your faith and gives you a push to press into the prophetic and into hearing the voice of God for yourself.

Does God care about small inconveniences in our lives? Can I ask the Lord questions about my every day life? Will I really hear God's voice about these things?
We're back with another prayer testimony of hearing God's voice, and this one centers around something really small: a sore throat. This particular story is one of my favorites because it combines God's heart for His kiddos with His heart for healing. I hope that it brings you Biblical encouragement and strengthens your faith in our good, good God!
Keep pressing into the prophetic! Keep pressing in to hear the voice of God! He loves to speak to us.

Does God only speak to us about religious or spiritual things? Does the Holy Spirit only help us with spiritual growth?
In today's episode, we have a prayer testimony about hearing God's voice in the day to day. I felt the Lord ask me to be quiet and rest, and then I heard something that surprised me so, so much.
God wants to meet you in your day-to-day. I hope that this testimony brings you Biblical encouragement today that stirs your faith and your drive to hear the voice of God.

"Is this God or just me?" "Is this the Holy Spirit leading me or the enemy?" These are common questions that each of us face in our journey in growing in hearing God's voice, and for good reason! Striving to hear the voice of God is weighty! So, let's get you some tools so that you can do it confidently.
So often, we are taught that the best way to discern God's voice is to ask ourselves "Do I feel peace about this?", but in today's episode, I am going to share a method that I believe is more stable, secure, and Biblically-based. And, it is the exact method that I used to grow in discernment myself.
As always, we are going to dive into Scripture and get super hands-on practical. Today, we'll specifically get into Romans 12:2 for both Biblical encouragement and for a practical framework, and I'll share with you what you can do to build up your faith, your relationship with God, and your foundation for the prophetic.
So, let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.
