God’s Voice vs. the World’s Voices: Hearing and Following the Shepherd
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When the world’s noise is loud, how do we discern God’s voice? Mother Theoliptie shares how, after baptism, she learned to recognize the Shepherd’s voice through Scripture, quiet prayer, and spiritual guidance—including counsel with His Holiness Pope Shenouda III in Egypt and a formative conversation with the Bishop the Monastery of St. Demiana. Then Robert (former Army Ranger) shares how God spoke through Scripture and his healing, drawing him into the Orthodox Church. We close with a one‑minute “Listen & Follow” prayer. Practice this week: keep a Shepherd’s Voice Log—one line of how you heard/sensed God’s voice; one “world‑voice” you released.
