148. How Do You Know When God Is Speaking To You?

Is God trying to tell me something, or is it just coincidence? Are these my own thoughts or God's thoughts? How can we know the difference?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek answer a listener question about how to discern God's voice in our lives from all of the other influences around us. We look through the Scripture to find examples of individuals who were clearly spoken to by God and what we can learn from those, as well as the role of the Holy Spirit within us. Our hope is that as you listen, you will find peace in how to discern how God may be leading you and what He is speaking into your life today.
