Will God tell me who I should marry? I think sometimes we are asking God the wrong question. Instead of asking God who should I marry or should I marry this person, more effective questions to ask God are: "What sort of person is best for me to marry?' and "What are Your thoughts about this person, God?" as well as "Who do I need to be to marry this person?" Join us in this episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we share our story and real-life examples from others, plus practical tips and Biblical principles of finding a marriage partner.

Life often seems to throw us 'curve balls', and we can end up living lives different from what we imagined. How we deal with these events is vital. In the Bible, Moses dealt with significant events in his life, especially when he went from a 'somebody' living in a royal palace to a 'nobody' in the outback. He then discovered what God can do with a person fully devoted to Him. Join us as we unpack how Moses heard God amid these events and how it can relate to our life.

How do you respond when you're required to do something contrary to your beliefs and principles? Join us as we unpack how Jochebed in the Bible (Moses' mother) handled an order as a midwife to not only kill male babies but also the actions she took to save her baby boy. It may be a bit of a stretch to say Jochebed 'heard' God. It's probably more how she responded to God throughout this time. Jochebed was willing to make difficult decisions and great sacrifices, putting her whole family at risk. But God. Just as God quietly orchestrated events in the life of Jochebed, be assured that He is also working behind the scenes in your life.

Was Abraham mentally unstable? Did he really hear God tell him to kill his son? What if God asked us to do something bizarre? How would we respond? There were also other occasions when Abraham made some questionable choices. It's probably not that much different to us at times. Perhaps that's part of the tension of living by faith. Join us as we unpack the story of Abraham in the Bible and the significant times he heard God. This episode also looks at the principle of returning to the last time you heard God if God appears silent.

Despite being described in the Bible as a man after God’s own heart, David had many failings. Yet, repeatedly, he displayed courage in the face of adversity and quickly repented when he was wrong. When David was faced with a problem, he enquired of the Lord. When he had trouble hearing God, he did the work to distinguish God’s voice from the noise around him and the ‘noise’ within him. Join us as we unpack the story of David in the Bible, the principles we can learn from it, and how to apply them to our lives in hearing God.

The story of Leah in the Bible is a messy, complicated, and beautiful story from Scripture. A whole gamut of emotions is displayed – deception, lies, jealousy, envy, desperation, disappointment, despair, heartache and longing, comparison, bitterness, pain and agony with unfulfilled promises.

Sometimes, we can get comfortable and 'forget' the bigger picture. We can misplace our priorities. That's what happened to the Jewish people after the exile. But, in the book of Haggai, we finally see that the people of Judah listened and obeyed a prophet!! This is an excellent example of a time when God spoke, stirred up their spirits, and the people listened. They heard. They changed their behaviour. God chose to work out His purposes through the faithfulness and obedience of His people. When God asks you to do something, do it. When God stirs up your spirit, He requires an outcome, an action. Haggai also urges caution numerous times with the phrase 'give careful thought to your ways'. Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how Haggai in the Bible heard from God.

Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how Josiah in the Bible heard from God.

Jonah is a fantastic story of a God who never gives up on us despite our attitudes and actions. A God who cares for everyone no matter what they have done. A God who values honesty and isn't afraid of our anger. A God who loves our questions. A God who desires relationship. The story of Jonah can be likened to the story of the Prodigal Son – the lost, repentance, forgiveness, the elder son's bad attitude, the Father who keeps reaching out. Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how Jonah in the Bible heard from God.

If you are struggling with God's call on your life, the story of Jeremiah and his response to God is extremely relevant. Jeremiah is a story of ups and downs, redemption and bitterness, rejection, loneliness, ridicule, backstabbing, murder, deceit, courage, imprisonment and danger – all for being faithful to what God said. If ever there was a time for someone to say, "I told you so", Jeremiah had the right. Jeremiah is a reminder that we are to go directly to God and not base our 'hearing from God' through other people. But the book of Jeremiah and his life is also a story of hope and promise – if you seek to find God, you will not be disappointed. Join us in this latest episode of the 'Hearing God' Podcast as we look at how the prophet Jeremiah heard from God.

I wonder how we would have reacted if we were Mary or Joseph and an angel appeared to us and told us we would have a baby supernaturally. Imagine the emotions. Mary and Joseph trusted God that He was orchestrating the miraculous in their lives while not restricting God to what their knowledge and experience said of God. They were both willing participants in God's story, open to the mystery and adventure, displaying the courage required to partner with God. Do you believe God can do the impossible in your life? Join us in this latest episode of 'Hearing God' as we look at how Mary and Joseph heard from God during Mary's conception, pregnancy, and birth with Jesus.
