Have you ever wondered, “Is God actually speaking to me?” In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey sits down with Pastor Burt and Pastor Josh to unpack how God speaks to people today—and how to tell if it’s really His voice.

They start with what nearly all Christians agree on: God’s primary way of speaking is through the Bible—His timeless, “God‑breathed” word that still reads our hearts, even though it was written thousands of years ago. From there, they explore other ways God may speak, like impressions, dreams, and inner assurance, while warning against reading too much into random events like sunsets, birds, or “signs” that can actually lead us into bad decisions.

You’ll hear real-life stories, practical wisdom for big choices (marriage, jobs, moving states), and why community and godly counsel are essential for discernment. This conversation sets the stage for future episodes on how to recognize the character of the Lord’s voice in everyday life.
