Are you longing for a deeper, more authentic connection with God?

Does life feel overwhelming, stressful, or just… noisy? Between the constant demands of daily life, the endless stream of opinions, and the unrelenting pressure to "keep going," it’s easy to feel disconnected from God’s presence.


When our routines, responsibilities, and even our mission consume us, it can feel nearly impossible to create space to listen to God. Yet without that space, our peace, relationships, and sense of purpose can suffer.

The good news is, it doesn't have to stay this way.

In Hearing God: Aligning Your Life with God’s Creative Purpose, you'll discover how to recognize God’s voice and presence in your everyday life—even in the mundane moments. Through simple, practical guidance, you’ll learn to quiet the "noise" that drowns out God's wisdom and truth and grow in confidence that God is at work—even in the chaos.

What You'll Learn

A practical, biblically grounded course that will help you:

  • Recognize the instruments of God’s voice: Learn to notice how God communicates through Scripture, creation, desires, circumstances, and even silence.

  • Discern between competing voices: Develop spiritual practices to distinguish God’s voice from fear, distractions, shame, and other influences.

  • Cultivate a lifestyle of attunement: Discover simple, repeatable rhythms that help you abide in His presence—even when disrupted by hardship, fear, and pain.

  • Practice effective discernment: Gain practical steps to recognize what helps—or hinders—your ability to hear God clearly.

Why This Course is Essential

We are shaped by the voices we listen to—so what if you could align your life with the voice of truth?
