LEARN MORE ABOUT SILENT RETREATS: kallahculture.org

How do you actually know when God is speaking?

In this episode, we explore one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions in the Christian life: How do I recognize the voice of God, and how do I discern it from my own thoughts or other voices?

Rather than reducing God's voice to formulas or religious clichés, this conversation invites listeners into a deeper, more honest understanding of how God communicates. We talk about why hearing God isn't primarily about the five senses, why Scripture can be read intellectually or encountered relationally, and how God often speaks through moments of "knowing" that bypass words altogether.

We discuss how God speaks through nature, silence, Scripture, people, and unexpected moments—and why His voice always carries good news, even when it brings conviction. You'll hear how fear, shame, confusion, and pressure are indicators of a different voice entirely, and how learning to recognize the fruit of what you're hearing brings clarity and peace.

The conversation also explores silence as a form of fasting in a hyper-connected world, why distraction dulls spiritual awareness, and how creating space—rather than striving—often makes God's voice unmistakable.

If you've ever wondered:

• Was that God, or was that just me?

• Why does hearing God feel so elusive sometimes?

• What does it actually feel like when God speaks?

This episode is an invitation—not to try harder—but to listen differently.
