Faith in practice: how to hear God’s voice and obey in small steps with Amanda

Season 1, Episode 1100:22:19Published April 15, 2025

Faith in practice starts with one simple question: how do I know it's God speaking? In this episode, I'm sitting down with my dear friend Amanda to talk about hearing God's voice and actually following it, even when it feels awkward, small, or wildly inconvenient.


Amanda shares how her desire to know God's voice began when she was young, and how God started building trust through tiny acts of obedience, like picking up trash in a grocery store parking lot. Not glamorous. Not "churchy." But deeply forming. And later, she finds out that her yes didn't just shape her life, it also impacted her sister in ways she didn't even realize.


We talk about what it looks like to grow in real life faith:
- How to tell the difference between God's voice, your own thoughts, and the enemy
- Why the Bible is the foundation for recognizing God's character
- What obedience can look like when you feel embarrassed or unsure
- Why rest, Sabbath, and "making space" can help you hear God more clearly
- How trust grows through the small yes moments, not just the big ones


If you've been wondering why hearing God feels quiet right now, or you're scared you'll "mess it up," this conversation is for you. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be willing. And God can redeem the rest.
