Episode notes
God Still Speaks As Ordinary Practice
- Michael Thompson and Josh Overton argue that God still speaks and that hearing Him is part of ordinary Christian life.
- They link barriers like belief, shame, and theology to a “dirty windshield” that blocks hearing God.
Remove Beliefs That Block Hearing
- Do examine and unlearn beliefs that block intimacy with God, like "I'm not good enough" or "God is far away."
- Remove those assumptions to clear the "dirty windshield" and open your ability to hear.
Hearing Is A Life, Not A Tool
- Dallas Willard's idea: we often only want God's voice when we think we need it, so we miss ongoing fellowship.
- Hearing God must be pursued as part of a life of loving fellowship, not occasional demand.
