Tired of waiting on God's promises? If your hope feels deferred and your heart is getting sick, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we walk through the process to the promise — that hard, hidden middle where God feels silent but is actually at work.

In this episode you'll discover:

•Why waiting on God's promises hurts, and what Proverbs 13:12 teaches about guarding your heart in the process.

• How years in the pit and the prison prepared Joseph for the palace, and what that means for your own delay.

• Trusting God's promises when the fulfillment looks impossible and the timeline makes no sense.

• Why the long way is often the faithful way, and what God was building in Israelites before the promised land.

• Practical ways to keep your faith strong and your perspective right while you wait for God's promises to come to pass.

If you're weary in the wait, this is your reminder: the process is not punishment. It's preparation.

☕️ Grab your coffee and let's chat about hearing God's voice in the waiting.

I had a season where God felt silent. Even as Pastors, we hit the same hills and valleys you do in your walk with Jesus— so I'm sharing the honest truth because I know some of you are in that exact season right now, wondering if He even hears you.

A quick note: I was the guest on this one! I sat down with Julie, host of "Everyday Miracles", for her show — and the conversation was so good, so real, and so needed that I had to bring it home to you too. We talk about what it actually feels like when God goes quiet, what gets in the way of hearing Him, and how to move from "I can't hear Him" to recognizing His voice every day.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why a season of silence from God isn't a sign of failure or distance
• How to hear God's voice clearly, even when your mind feels loud and busy
• The difference between God's voice and your own racing thoughts
• How to discern God's voice using scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit
• Signs God is speaking to you, even when it doesn't feel like a "voice" at all
• What the "still small voice" of God actually sounds like in real life
• How to pray when God feels distant, and what to do while you wait
• Practical ways to recognize the whisper of God in your everyday moments
• How prayer journaling can help you track and remember when God speaks
• What it means to feel God's presence again after a dry season
• Biblical discernment — how to know if a thought, impression, or nudge lines up with God's Word
• Why "hearing God" doesn't always look the way we expect it to

Quick answers if you're searching for this right now:

• Why can't I hear God?

Most of the time it's not about distance from Him — it's about noise, timing, or expectations of what His voice "should" sound like. We unpack this in detail in the episode.

• How do I know if it's God's voice?

We talk through practical, biblical ways to test what you're hearing against scripture and the character of God — not just a feeling.

• What if I've prayed and heard nothing?

You are not alone, and it doesn't mean God has gone silent forever. This episode walks through exactly what to do in that waiting season.

Jeri Hill was born out of rape, raised on drugs, and swept up in a 75-person drug bust. Then God spoke to her in a jail cell — in her mother's voice, from 25 miles away.

This is the story you didn't know behind the Brownsville Revival. Jeri and Steve Hill — saved just 8 days apart in 1975 — went from jail cells to evangelists, ministering in 80+ countries before history was made at Brownsville in 1995.

If you've ever wondered, "Does God still speak to someone like me?" — this episode is for you. He spoke to Jeri in a jail cell, on a billboard, in a dream, and in the silence after losing her husband and her son.

KEY TALKING POINTS

• Born Out of Rape: shame, identity, and God's plan
• Drug Addiction and the Drug Bust: 75 arrests, one jail cell
• Hearing God's Voice in Jail: her mother's voice, 25 miles away
• The John 3:16 Billboard: "For I so loved you" — not the world, you
• The Persistent Pastor: two years of knocking, one divine appointment
• Saved 8 Days Apart: Jeri and Steve's back-to-back salvation in October 1975
• Praying for Her Future Husband: before she ever met him
• From Jail to Evangelists: 40 countries, 8 churches, one heartbeat
• The Brownsville Revival: unplanned — and heaven came down
• Losing Steve: the dream about the vow and the angel wings
• Losing Ryan: tears of loss turned into tears for the lost
• "I Am the River in the Desert": how God carried her the whole time
