## About This Episode

Have you ever sensed a nudge and wondered, "Is that God, or is that just me?"

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, my friend Amanda shares how she spent years longing to hear God's voice. Then one day in high school, walking into a grocery store, she sensed the Lord ask her to do something small and a little embarrassing: pick up the trash in the parking lot. She said yes. That tiny act of obedience became the start of a lifelong walk with God, and years later it shaped how her own sister understood hearing from Him.

We talk honestly about the inner voices we all carry, how to recognize the Lord's voice when your thoughts are loud, and why God so often grows our faith through ordinary, everyday moments.

In this conversation:

-   Why getting to know God's character in Scripture makes it easier to recognize when He's speaking
-   How small yeses build trust in God, and how His grace covers us when we don't get it exactly right
-   How rest and making space for stillness can quiet the noise so you can actually listen

If you've been wanting to hear God more clearly in real life, this one is for you. Have a story or question? Reach out at https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact.
