The Place We Find Ourselves #38: The Process of Learning to Hear from God

Adam Young
Podcast
Connection With
God

James and I (Claire) first started to hear from God about ten years ago, when we took a course from a church in central Canada. It has radically changed our lives, and our confidence in walking this journey we are on.

Adam Young talks about how his life became far richer when he learned to hear, though he had not known it was possible. He posits that the basis of a real relationship is communication, and that maybe God meant for us to have a relationship in which we have regular conversations – not just conversations in which we talk, but ones in which He talks to us. After all, the point of Jesus’s work was to re-unite us with God.

Young discusses his experience of obstacles to hearing from God, and also some practical steps to learning how to hear. I encourage you to listen to this podcast to explore what it means that the God of the universe would come and make His home with us.
