Today, we're diving into a conversation about finding a safe place with God, a concept that can transform how we hear Him. We explore the idea that feeling safe is a core human need, and when we don’t feel safe, we tend to hide or put on facades instead of bringing our true selves to the table. With insights drawn from Scripture, we highlight that God serves as our strong tower, providing refuge and safety in His presence. We also discuss how to use the eyes of our heart to discover new truths about ourselves through contemplation and reflection, fostering a more intimate connection with God. Join us as we guide you through exercises to visualize your safe place and invite you to see yourself through the lens of divine love and safety.

We're diving deep into the art of asking, seeking, and knocking—yes, it's not just a catchy phrase; it's a lifeline for hearing God in our lives! In this episode, we explore how persistence in our prayers and desires not only aligns us with God but also reflects our inner longings and truths. We'll unpack the importance of using our words, our eyes, and our bodies in this process, illustrating how each action plays a vital role in our relationship with God. Together, we’ll reaffirm that this journey is about discovering ourselves in Christ, recognizing that the knocking isn't just about us inviting Him in; it’s about Him inviting us to see who we truly are.

Takeaways:

• Hearing God involves asking, seeking, and knocking persistently, not just once.
• Our approach to God should be about relationship, not obligation or striving to earn favor.
• Understanding our true identity in Christ is crucial for effective communication with God.
• Persistence in prayer reflects our genuine desire for connection with God and self-discovery.
• We can hear God through various senses; it's not limited to just what we hear.
• Asking God about our identity can transform our understanding of what we truly need.

Today, we’re diving deep into the concept of attunement and how it relates to hearing God. We’re exploring the idea that genuine connection with others—and with God—hinges on being seen, heard, and understood. Through some relatable stories, like a mom's response to her daughter’s mishap with a new pair of jeans, we’ll illustrate how attunement can transform our relationships and interactions. We’ll also unpack how God is perpetually attuned to us, inviting us to mirror that same understanding and connection in our own lives. So whether you’re feeling frustrated, joyful, or anything in between, this episode is about recognizing that you are not alone in your emotions, and that there’s a loving presence ready to meet you right where you are.
