Episode notes
Hearing God Isn’t A Daily Skill
- Greg Koukl argues modern emphasis on 'hearing God's voice' is non-biblical and risky for discipleship.
- Scripture shows God speaks clearly and rarely, so routine 'nudge-hint' methods are not the norm.
Base Beliefs On Scripture, Not Experience
- Exegete Scripture, not experiences, when forming doctrine about how God communicates.
- Use biblical patterns as the normative guide rather than personal impressions.
Biblical Revelation Is Distinctly Clear
- When Scripture records divine direction it is usually unmistakably supernatural: visions, dreams, angels, or prophecy.
- The Bible models clear revelation so people can respond without confusion.
