Ever feel like the world is just too loud to hear anything meaningful—let alone God's voice? In this episode of the Quest for Success podcast, Dr. Jerry Cunningham, psychologist and best-selling author of the Quest for Success series, takes you on a personal and practical journey into the heart of spiritual clarity. Whether you're a leader in the workplace, a parent trying to stay patient, or simply someone looking for direction in a noisy, fast-paced culture—this conversation is for you. You'll discover the surprising science behind how our brains process thousands of thoughts each day, why most of them are working against your spiritual focus, and how intentional prayer rewires the parts of your brain tied to empathy, emotional regulation, and wisdom. Drawing from both scripture and neuroscience, Dr. Cunningham reveals the link between cognitive overload and spiritual disconnect—and more importantly, how to fix it. You'll hear powerful lessons from the contrasting lives of Billy Graham and Jimmy Swaggart—two men who both preached to millions but lived with drastically different levels of peace and clarity. Plus, Dr. Cunningham shares a vulnerable and humorous story from his own life about praying for a godly woman… and the surprising, unforgettable way God responded in a parking lot in Blytheville, Arkansas. This episode is more than inspirational—it's actionable. You'll walk away with real tools to help you: Start your day with clarity and leadership Create quiet spaces where God's whispers can be heard Pray bold, outrageous prayers without holding back Lead your family, workplace, and social life with spiritual focus Whether you're new to prayer or looking to go deeper in your spiritual journey, this episode offers a fresh reminder: God is still speaking—you just have to get quiet enough to hear.   Additional Sources You Can Use for Further Study Pew Research Center – "Religious Landscape Study" https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/ Dr. Andrew Newberg – How God Changes Your Brain (On neuroscience of prayer and meditation) 1 Kings 19:11-13 – Elijah and the still small voice John Mark Comer – The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry (Modern chaos, silence, and spiritual hearing) "The Billy Graham Rule" – Interview archives and biographies Psychology Today – Articles on mindfulness and cognitive overload https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/mindfulness
