Is God speaking to you through something you want—or is your heart leading you astray? In this episode of Hearing God Daily, we’re diving deep into the complex and often confusing topic of desire. Can you trust your heart? Should you follow your longings when making big decisions—like pursuing a calling, choosing a partner, or stepping into a new season?

We’ll explore:

• What Scripture says about our hearts and desires—before and after salvation

• Why our desires can sometimes be trustworthy, and other times misleading

• How to practically discern whether a desire is from God

• The tension of waiting, surrendering, or acting on what you want

• Real-life encouragement to walk closely with God in the midst of uncertainty

With biblical insight, and practical tools, this conversation will help you grow in wisdom and confidence as you learn to hear God’s voice—even in your desires.

If you're navigating a big decision or wrestling with what your heart is telling you, this episode is for you.

Most of us start seeking God’s voice when we’re facing big life decisions—where to live, what job to take, who to marry. That was true for me too. But I’ve learned that hearing God isn’t just about getting clarity—it's about transformation, preparation, and love.

In this episode, I share how my journey of learning to listen to God began in a season of deep uncertainty and desire for direction. We’ll explore the deeper reasons God invites us to hear His voice: for our own growth, to show us His love, to prepare us for what's ahead, and to bless others through us.

With stories from Scripture and real life—Joseph, Peter, Corrie Ten Boom, and more—we'll unpack how God uses our listening lives not just for our sake, but for His bigger purposes in the world.

If you’ve ever only gone to God with a decision in mind, this episode will challenge and encourage you to ask: Am I letting God start the conversation?
