In episode 8 we continue our 4-part series covering 8 biblical ways to hear and know God's voice. This week our focus lies on circumstances and impressions as doorways to discernment. With insights from Tanya's new book, "Befriending God," we'll journey through the life of Moses and Joseph, uncovering how their experiences with God—marked by adversity and divine intervention—can inspire us to listen closely to the guidance offered through our own circumstances and Spirit-led inner knowings. We also discuss what it means to cultivate radical loyalty to God in prioritizing this transformative question, "What is God saying?" and contemplate the requirements and rewards of a cruciform life through which we fully surrender to the lordship of Christ.

Join us as we continue our 4-part series exploring 8 biblical ways God befriends us, intimately, here in a Post-Eden world. In this very special episode, we explore wonder through the artistry of God as revealed in nature and science. We also contemplate the power of music to draw us into intimacy with God through specific songs and musical moments found in Exodus, Psalms, 2 Kings and Revelation. God is the Original Artist, the first to make something beautiful out of absolutely nothing. Join us as we lean into spiritual and practical ways to embrace this truth and to befriend Him in intentional ways.
