Episode Synopsis

Today's episode is about hearing the voice of God. We discuss several questions in today's episode:
1. Why is it important to learn the truth about how God speaks to and leads his people?
2. Is there a simple answer to "how does God talk to people"?
3. What if God tells you something that seems to contradict the Bible?
4. How can you be sure that you are hearing from God?
5. What if a Pastor, leader, or authority figure tells you that you are not hearing from God and you need
to 'listen to counsel'?

Our table includes four people today. Bethany Jensen, an author in Virginia. Kathy Ylostalo, a private tutor and business owner in Texas. Jared McCurrin, craftsman, business owner, and podcaster. Damion Jensen, Business solutions consultant and jack of all trades.
