Why Women Everywhere Struggle to Hear God—and What the Bible’s Forgotten Female Voices Reveal

Why is it that women everywhere — from modern moms in Brooklyn to prophets hidden in the Old Testament — wrestle with the same question: “Am I really hearing God’s voice?”

In this episode, Jenilee sits down with author and podcaster Rachael Groll (Hearing Jesus Podcast) to uncover the surprising common thread between today’s women and the overlooked female prophets of Scripture. Together, they dig into how obedience tunes your heart to hear God more clearly — and how the forgotten voices of the Bible can give you fresh confidence today.

👉 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The striking insecurities modern women share with biblical women you’ve likely never heard of.

• Why God’s choice to work through women in every generation is no accident.

• The role of obedience as the “radio dial” that clears the static so you can hear His voice.

• How doubt, when surrendered, becomes the doorway to confidence.

• Practical steps you can take today to recognize God’s voice with greater clarity.

This isn’t just another Bible study — it’s a conversation that will help you see yourself in the forgotten women of Scripture and give you the courage to respond to God’s voice with confidence.
