The Hearing God Podcast

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Some conversations carry more than information, they carry weight. We have both had moments where someone speaks and our hearts recognize something deeper is happening, not emotional hype, but a clear spiritual resonance. That is the kind of “unexplainable but unmistakable” authority people noticed on Jesus, and it is the hunger driving this conversation on...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! You can pray “God, I surrender my agenda” and mean it with your whole heart, then wake up the next morning to interruptions that feel like chaos. We’ve lived that gap between intention and reality, and it’s exactly where the spiritual life gets honest.   Union with Christ is an unfolding reality to receive. A revelation in process. That single shift changes...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We sit down with Psalm 103 open and begin with encouraging your own soul, naming God's benefits, bringing our hidden inner world into his gentle care. That's where honest prayer begins and it's often where hearing God becomes clearer, because you're no longer holding back the very thing you need to say. The Psalms are a roadmap for raw,...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Something shifts when you realize the prayer you’ve carried for years is already being answered. We walk through that exact moment as we reflect on One Conference, a gathering of around 4,000 teenagers in Atlantic Canada, and the growing sense that a genuine youth revival is unfolding in schools and communities right now. We talk about the difference betwee...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Revival can feel like a wave that crashes in, changes everything, and then mysteriously pulls back. We sit down and trace the moments that formed us and the questions they still raise: What is happening when a room is charged with hunger and the Holy Spirit seems to be directing the night?  We share personal stories from the 90s, including a massive Promise...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We dive into the long road of revival and calling. Dan shares how God spoke to him decades ago about a youth revival in Atlantic Canada, and how that promise has unfolded in waves, with real fruit and real waiting. Along the way, we talk about the difference between God giving you a vision and you assuming you’re the hero of it. Sometimes the assignment isn...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! God designed us to hear Him, and a daily rhythm of listening is not optional for a healthy heart. When we feel restless, anxious, or dull, it’s usually a sign our heart is believing something untrue, and the first move is not striving harder. It’s turning toward God, because He is nearer than we imagine. Revival is a waking-up to God's agenda in the pr...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We explore a simple framework that gets practical fast: love and truth belong together, and fear and lies feed each other. Every day we’re choosing a narrative, and that choice shapes our ability to receive joy, live with courage, and respond to God without shrinking back. We also talk about how the prophetic and hearing God work best when they flow from lo...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Something shifts when you stop keeping God’s prompting in your head and finally say it out loud. We’ve both felt it: you’re praying Scripture, or you’re in a normal moment at work, in a store, in a conversation, and the Holy Spirit puts a clear nudge on your heart.  We dig into why speaking matters in the first place. God creates by speaking, Jesus is the W...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We go deep on a phrase that shows up again and again in the New Testament but often gets flattened in modern Christian language: being in Christ. We read 2 Corinthians 5:17 and talk about union with Christ, new creation identity, and why so many of us drift into a transactional mindset where “good day” equals close to God and “bad day” equals distant from G...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We sit down for an honest, practical conversation about what Scripture means when it says we have the Mind of Christ and why that truth matters most in the moments that feel ordinary, stressed, or outright impossible. We walk through 1 Corinthians 2 and the sharp contrast between the natural mind and spiritual discernment, then bring it down to real life: t...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! When you’re trying to hear God and live a prophetic lifestyle, it’s easy to slip into a hidden fear: “If I mess up, God will be disappointed.” We open with a real testimony of healing and the quiet courage it takes to respond, then we zoom out to the deeper question underneath it all: what does obedience look like when love is the foundation, not the reward...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Some mornings you can feel the day slipping away before you even get your bearings. We start there, with the honest climb out of self-pity and the quiet miracle of remembering what the gospel actually says: through Jesus, we’ve received abundant grace and the gift of righteousness, and we’re meant to reign in life today. Not by controlling everything, not b...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! There is a difference between reading Scripture as information and experiencing Scripture as encounter. Discipline matters, even when it feels dry, but we’re hungry for the moment the Word comes alive and speaks to the heart. Along the way we identify a helpful “heart check” for believers: when we’re anxious, restless, or short with people, it may be time t...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! We walk through what a mature Christian response can look like when abuse, dysfunction, or deception comes into the light. Using Colossians 3 as a lense, we challenge ourselves to respond with kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and love. We also talk about platform pressure in the age of social media, how quickly a public ministry can be...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Trouble has a way of making us recheck everything we thought God said. We have an honest, grounded conversation about hearing God when life feels like a mixed bag and the “promise” timeline doesn’t match reality. We talk about why cheap answers don’t help when you’re tired, healing from surgery, navigating chronic pain, or carrying a calling that seems stal...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! A season of physical limitation becomes a classroom for prayer and listening, where unexpected dreams get loud and 1 Peter 2:9–10 lands with fresh weight: chosen people, royal priesthood, holy nation, God’s special possession. Identity is not an accessory; it’s the operating system. We explore the priestly pattern in everyday life: standing in God’s presenc...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! In John 17, Jesus asks the Father to keep us in the world, not remove us from it. That means life with God is not a strategy for escape but a way to flourish in a chaotic age. At the center is oneness: “I in them and You in Me.” Eternal life isn’t just endless time; it’s the quality of life that flows from knowing God right now. We talk about learning to sa...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for is waiting for your voice? We open with a tender, honest moment about inviting Jesus into our deepest longings, not discarding them. That simple reframing leads to a bigger discovery: God delights to provide. From there we step into Jeremiah 1 and hear those charged verbs—uproot, tear down, destroy, overthrow, bui...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! God with (and in) us is what sets us apart. This reality simply changes everything. We start with Moses' bold request in Exodus 33 and move to the rhythms that keep us grounded today. The heartbeat is simple: we will not move without God. That posture isn’t about drama or performance; it’s about a daily, ordinary awareness that the best part of any mom...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! When following Jesus, resistance inevitably shows up. We name the enemy’s subtle strategy: wear you down until you stop showing up. From the parable of the two sons in Matthew 21, we draw a counterintuitive insight—God honors the one who wrestles and still goes to the vineyard each day. We talk about performance pressure, shame, and the freedom of bringing...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! In this episode, we talk about risk, waiting, and why a good Father invites His kids into moments that stretch faith. We name the quiet culprits—self-limiting beliefs that masquerade as humility—and show how calling them what they are opens the door to freedom. Repentance becomes more than guilt management; it’s a joyful “look again,” trading our constructe...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! When heaven feels quiet, most of us assume we’ve failed. We flip through the usual dials—prayer, worship, Scripture—and panic when nothing lights up. Today we invite you to a different lens: what if silence isn’t a verdict but an invitation to secure attachment, deeper honesty, and wider ways of hearing God? We open up about our own dry seasons and why “Hea...

Questions? Fun God stories? Let us know! Have you ever dismissed a dream as "just your brain processing the day" only to wonder later if there was something more to it? What if those nighttime narratives were actually divine communication—God's way of speaking to you through symbols and stories while you rest? Dreams occupy a fascinating intersection of psychology, spirituality, and...
