This episode provides clarity and reassurance, offering faith-based insights into the role AI can play in our spiritual practices. Do you have a miracle story to share?

This passage offers insight into the tension between earthly responsibilities and spiritual devotion.

676// Rejected and Redeemed: God’s Plan Behind Life’s Setbacks: Mark 12:1-12 In this episode, we explore the Parable of the Tenants in Mark 12:1-12. Jesus uses this allegory to challenge the religious leaders of His time, exposing their rejection of God’s prophets and foreshadowing His own death.

675// Did Jesus Have Temper Tantrums? The Truth About Empty Religion: Mark 11:12-33 In this episode, take a look at an often misunderstood scene in Mark’s Gospel—Jesus cursing the fig tree and His bold cleansing of the temple. We’ll explore the deeper meaning behind these actions and how they expose fruitless faith and broken religious systems.

Key Points: • The Symbolism of the Fig Tree: Why Jesus cursed a fig tree out of season and what it reveals about empty religion. • Jesus Cleanses the Temple: More than a reform, Jesus’ actions signaled the end of the temple’s role as the center of worship. • Faith that Moves Mountains: What it means to pray with faith and let go of bitterness through forgiveness. • Authority Challenged: The priests and elders confront Jesus, revealing their fear of losing control and their lack of understanding of God’s authority.

674// Jesus Isn’t Running for Office: Why Politics Can’t Save Us: Mark 11:1-11 In this episode, we explore the significance behind Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, a moment celebrated by the crowds yet misunderstood at its core. Journey with us through Mark 11:1–11 as we unpack the cultural, prophetic, and spiritual meaning of this moment. Why did Jesus ride a colt? What did the people expect from Him? And how do we respond when God’s plans don’t align with our expectations? What is the connection to our modern political climate? We reflect on how this story challenges our modern ideas of success, power, and humility, drawing lessons for our personal faith journeys today. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • The symbolic meaning behind Jesus riding a colt and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. • The tension between the crowd’s expectations and Jesus’ mission to bring peace rather than political victory. • How Jesus’ silent inspection of the temple reveals His intentionality and discernment. • The relevance of this story for our personal journeys—how we respond when God’s plans differ from our desires. • Why spiritual greatness looks more like humility and service than power and position. Scripture Reference: • Mark 11:1–11 Key Takeaways: • God’s Kingdom is different—it’s built on humility, peace, and service. • Our expectations vs. God’s plan: Sometimes we need to surrender our agendas to align with God’s will. • Moments of reflection matter: Just as Jesus paused to inspect the temple, we need to pause and discern before taking action. • Discipleship involves humility: Jesus came not to conquer politically, but to save spiritually. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ :  patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast,  you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________  Connect further with us !

672// Why Being Good Isn't Good Enough: The Truth in Mark 10 In this episode, we discuss a conversation with Jesus that can sometimes be pretty challenging to hear. He meets a rich young man eager to inherit eternal life. When Jesus responds by asking him to sell all he has and give to the poor, the man walks away sorrowfully. Why is it so difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God? What does this passage teach us about wealth, sacrifice, and true discipleship? Join us as we unpack the lessons from Mark 10:17-31, including Jesus’ profound statement, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” We’ll also discuss how Peter’s declaration of leaving everything for Jesus prompts us to reflect on our own journey of faith, sacrifice, and rewards in the kingdom of God. Key Points: • The rich young man’s question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” • Jesus’ response and challenge to sell everything and give to the poor. • Why wealth can be a spiritual obstacle and the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ call to radical sacrifice. • The disciples were amazed at Jesus’ teaching and their concern, “Who then can be saved?” • Jesus’ assurance that with God, even the impossible becomes possible. • Peter’s declaration of leaving everything behind and Jesus’ promise of rewards, along with persecutions. • The deeper meaning of “The first will be last, and the last first.” This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

671// Is Divorce A Sin? The Answer May Surprise You  In this episode, we dive into Mark 10:1-16, where Jesus addresses the difficult topic of divorce, marriage, and what it means to approach the Kingdom of God like a child. In response to the Pharisees' trap regarding the legality of divorce, Jesus challenges the very foundation of their question by focusing on God’s original intent for marriage. He also emphasizes the importance of caring for children, showing that the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are dependent, humble, and trusting. We explore the heart issues behind broken relationships and how the hardness of the heart contributes to the breakdown of marriages. While divorce is often a painful reality, we focus on God’s grace and healing for those who have experienced it, especially when divorce is not their choice. We also discuss the importance of approaching the Kingdom of God with a childlike faith—dependent and receptive. Whether you’ve walked through the pain of divorce, know someone who has, or want to understand God’s heart for marriage and children, this episode offers insights into Jesus’ teachings that still resonate today. **Key Points**: - Jesus responds to the Pharisees' question about divorce by redirecting their focus from legalism to God’s original design for marriage. - Divorce, Jesus says, stems from hardness of heart, but God’s grace extends to those who have been hurt by the breakdown of relationships. - Jesus elevates the role of children, emphasizing that the Kingdom of God belongs to those who approach it with humility, dependence, and trust. - The importance of receiving the Kingdom of God "like a child" and the challenge of applying this childlike faith to our adult lives. - Practical reflections on how the church can support those impacted by divorce and strengthen families.

669// Understanding True Greatness: Lessons from Mark 9:30-50 In today’s episode, we explore Mark 9:30-50, where Jesus redefines greatness in the Kingdom of God. The disciples argue about who among them is the greatest, but Jesus flips the script by teaching that true greatness comes from humility, service, and caring for the least among us. We also unpack Jesus’ warnings about leading others into sin and the radical call to remove anything in our lives that causes us to stumble. This passage challenges us to embrace a life of service, prioritize relationships over status, and take seriously the impact of sin in our lives. **Key Points**: - Jesus teaches that greatness in His Kingdom is about becoming the servant of all, not seeking power or recognition. - Welcoming and serving those who are insignificant in the eyes of the world is central to discipleship. - Jesus’ warnings about causing others to stumble remind us of the importance of living with integrity and care for others. - Radical self-discipline in our spiritual lives helps us avoid sin and grow in holiness. **Reflection**: Are you seeking recognition or power, or are you striving to serve others in humility? Jesus shows us that true greatness comes from lowering ourselves to lift others up. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ :  patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast,  you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________  Connect further with us !

668// When Faith Feels Fragile: A Story of Desperate Prayer in Mark 9:14-29 In this episode, we examine Mark 9:14-29, where Jesus heals a boy possessed by an unclean spirit after His disciples fail to do so. The passage highlights themes of faith, doubt, and the power of prayer. We’ll explore the father’s poignant cry, “I believe; help my unbelief!” and what it means for us when we struggle with doubt. Jesus shows that nothing is impossible for those who have faith, but He also emphasizes the importance of prayer in overcoming spiritual obstacles. This story serves as a powerful reminder that even in our moments of doubt, Jesus can bring healing and restoration. **Key Points**: - The disciples fail to cast out the demon due to a lack of faith and prayer. - The father’s cry for help reveals the tension between faith and doubt that we all experience. - Jesus teaches that everything is possible for those who believe, but emphasizes the importance of dependence on God through prayer. - The healing of the boy illustrates Jesus’ authority over evil and His compassion for those in need. **Reflection**: Do you ever find yourself in situations where your faith is weak? Like the father in this story, you can ask Jesus to help you believe, even when doubt clouds your heart. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ :  patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast,  you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________  Connect further with us !

667// Mountaintop Moments: Witnessing Jesus’ Transfiguration and What It Means for Us in Mark 9:2-13 Today’s episode delves into the awe-inspiring account of the Transfiguration found in Mark 9:2-13. Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, where He is transfigured before them in radiant glory, speaking with Moses and Elijah. This moment provides a stunning revelation of Jesus’ divine nature, but it also comes with a reminder that glory follows suffering. We’ll explore the significance of the Transfiguration, its Old Testament connections, and how this glimpse of Jesus’ glory helps us endure seasons of trial and uncertainty. **Key Points**: - The Transfiguration reveals Jesus as the divine Son of God, connecting Him to Moses and Elijah. - This event prefigures Jesus’ resurrection glory, while reminding the disciples that the cross must come first. - The presence of Moses and Elijah links Jesus’ mission with the Law and the Prophets, signifying His fulfillment of both. - God’s voice commands the disciples to listen to Jesus, reinforcing His authority as the beloved Son. **Reflection**: How can the glory of Jesus revealed in the Transfiguration strengthen you during difficult times?

In this episode, we focus on one of the most pivotal moments in the Gospel of Mark—Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, and Jesus’ startling revelation of the suffering and death He must endure. Mark 8:27-9:1 presents the tension between human expectations of a triumphant Messiah and the reality of the suffering servant Jesus came to be. We’ll explore the cultural backdrop of the Messiah figure in Jewish thought, Peter’s partial understanding, and how Jesus patiently leads His disciples toward a fuller understanding of His mission. **Key Points**: - Peter confesses Jesus as the Messiah, but his understanding is limited by earthly expectations. - Jesus begins to reveal His true mission—one of suffering, death, and eventual resurrection. - The disciples’ misunderstanding sets the stage for a deeper revelation of what it means to follow a suffering Messiah. - This passage challenges us to examine our own expectations of God’s plan and how we respond when it doesn’t align with our desires. **Reflection**: What expectations do you have of Jesus that might be limiting your understanding of His true nature? Like Peter, we often want a victorious, problem-solving Savior, but we must also embrace the suffering Messiah who walks with us through trials. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ :  patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast,  you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________  Connect further with us !

664// Spiritual Vision and Provision: Insights from Jesus' Miracles in Mark 8: 1-26 In today’s episode, we explore Mark 8:22-26, where Jesus heals a blind man in Bethsaida through a two-stage miracle. This unique account showcases Jesus’ ability to heal even the most difficult cases, but also carries a deeper meaning. Just as the man’s physical sight was restored gradually, the disciples’ spiritual sight needed time to develop. We dive into the significance of this miracle, Jesus’ interactions with the blind man, and how this passage serves as a metaphor for our spiritual journey. Sometimes, our understanding of Christ and His purpose comes in phases, just like the healing we see in this passage.  **Key Points**: - The two-stage healing of the blind man is unique and significant in Mark’s Gospel. - Jesus asks the man what he sees, reflecting His care and precision in healing. - The gradual healing mirrors the disciples’ slow grasp of Jesus’ true mission as the suffering Messiah. - The connection between physical and spiritual blindness helps us understand our own need for progressive spiritual insight. **Reflection**: Have you ever felt like your understanding of God is incomplete? Jesus shows us that healing—both physical and spiritual—sometimes happens in stages. It’s okay to not have all the answers immediately. Trust that God is patiently guiding you towards clarity in His time. ☆ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON ☆ :  patreon.com/HearingJesus If you would like to give to Hearing Jesus and financially support the podcast,  you can do so here ! ➤ Give Here _____________________________________________  Connect further with us !

576: Being Ready to Respond When God Speaks- Hearing God’s Voice Series, Daily Devotional, Bible Study When we are pursuing God, to become more like God (His nature and character), that process is called sanctification.

563: Knowing About God Isn’t The Same as KNOWING God: Queen of Sheba: Women of the Old Testament Bible Study The story of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon is about seeking wisdom and knowing God.

It is surrendering to Him, recognizing our need for Him, and seeking a personal relationship with Him. We don't have to go to great lengths to know God; we have access to Him right where we are. It's about drawing others to God through our lives and surrendering our hearts and lives to Him.

443// Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers? And Other Audience Questions In this episode, Rachael answers various questions from the audience. The topics covered include baptism for salvation, concerns about the strength of one's relationship with God, dealing with family disapproval of interracial relationships, and understanding unanswered prayers.  Takeaways: Baptism is not a requirement for salvation; it is a public declaration of one's faith in Jesus. Growing in your relationship with God is a lifelong journey, and it's okay to not know everything about the Bible. Stand firm in your convictions and set boundaries when faced with family disapproval of your choices based on biblical principles. God's timing and ways are not always understandable to us, and unanswered prayers can be part of His greater plan.   Episode Resources: To Sponsor a Child through Compassion International: Compassion.com/hearingjesus Or Text HEARINGJESUS to 83393 For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus Coaching/Spiritual Direction: https://shehears.org/coaching Learn: https://shehears.org Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Q&A Session 00:48 Do You Need to be Baptized to Go to Heaven? 05:39 Worrying About the Strength of Your Relationship with God 07:22 Dealing with Family's Disapproval of Interracial Relationships 10:54 Understanding Unanswered Prayers 17:07 Closing Prayer and Conclusion     Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

442// Accepting God’s Invitation: Devotional, Bible Study: Matthew 22:1-14 In this episode, Rachael teaches on Matthew chapter 22 and explores the parable of the wedding feast. She explains the cultural context of wedding feasts in ancient times and the significance of the invitations. Rachael highlights the rejection of the initial guests and the parallel to the behavior of the religious leaders.  Takeaways: The parable of the wedding feast highlights the importance of accepting God's invitation to a relationship through Jesus. The rejection of the initial guests represents the religious leaders who refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah. The generosity of the king in inviting the commoners demonstrates God's inclusive love for all people. Wearing the wedding clothes symbolizes faithfulness to the covenant and respect for the king.

441// The Capstone the Builders Rejected: Devotional, Bible Study: Matthew 21:33-46 In this episode, Rachael continues her exploration of the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on the parable of the vineyard in Matthew chapter 21. She provides background information on the social structure and power dynamics of the time, highlighting the role of the religious leaders. The parable serves as a metaphor for the religious leaders' rejection of God's prophets and ultimately Jesus himself. Jesus compares himself to the cornerstone and warns that the kingdom of God will be taken away from those who do not produce fruit. The religious leaders understand that Jesus is speaking about them but fear the crowd's response. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

437// Jesus’ Guide to Greatness: Humility and Sacrifice- Devotional, Bible Study Matthew 20 Jesus was counter-cultural in so many ways, including his perspective on leadership. In today’s study, we see the disciples make some bold requests, and then learn from Jesus how to truly lead in the kingdom- and it’s not what they expect.  Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

436// Who Is First and Who Is Last In God’s Kingdom? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 20:1-16 In this passage of Scripture, Jesus is helping his listeners understand something essential about his kingdom: that the gospel is lavishly generous, in a way that for someone struggling with self-righteousness, might feel very unfair.

435// What Does Jesus Say About Wealth? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:16-30 We’re wrapping up chapter 19 in the Gospel of Matthew by looking closely at what Jesus had to say about riches and the kingdom of God. While there is nothing wrong with having nice things, they should not get in the way of your relationship with God. Chasing after wealth should not be our goal. But as we’ll see in today’s passage, Jesus had some pretty radical things to say about riches. Let’s study scripture together and unpack God’s Word, applying it to our lives.

434// What Does Jesus Say About Divorce? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:1-15 As we make our way through the Gospel of Matthew, today we are diving into Jesus’ teaching on divorce. This is a topic that is widely debated within the body of Christ. I'm sure you've been part of or heard some of those conversations yourself, but what we see here is that this is a topic that was debated even in Jesus' time. The Pharisees during the time of Jesus had this as a topic of confusion because it was really two schools of thought. Let’s study the Scripture together and learn what Jesus had to say about divorce and how we can apply that teaching to our lives today. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

How That Nightly Glass of Wine Can Keep Us From Hearing God's Voice For today's episode, I wanted to air a conversation I had with my friend Christy Osborne to talk about the wine culture many women find themselves in.

432// How to Forgive Like Jesus: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 18:21-35 In today’s Bible story, Peter asks a question about forgiveness, and Jesus’ answer was as radical then as it is today. The forgiveness of our Father is unconditional, and he expects our forgiveness of others to be like his. How can we do this? Listen to today’s study of Scripture and find out.

431// Childish vs. Childlike Faith: What's The Difference? Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 18:1-20 In order for Christ to transform us from the inside out and to transform our character, our attitude towards him has to be like a child. But what does it mean to have childlike faith - and how is that different than childishness? That’s what we’re going to study in today’s Bible reading and devotional around Matthew 18, along with Jesus’ warning not to cause those of childlike faith to stumble - we’ll unpack that and more in today’s study of God’s Word.

425// Jesus Draws Us Out of Deep Waters: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 14:22-36 As Jesus was preparing Peter for leadership, one of the ways He did that was by calling Him to step out of the boat. As Peter took those first steps, He was focused on Jesus and was able to do what God was calling Him to do. It wasn’t until he allowed the circumstances of what was going on around him to distract him, that he started to sink. In that moment, Jesus stepped in to rescue him. As we think through our own lives, we can see how Jesus never lets us go, even as He calls us to get out of the boat.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

424// How God Can Multiply What You Give Him: Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 14:13b-21 Repeatedly in the gospels, we see Jesus attend to physical needs as a means to reach spiritual ones. And this incredible, miraculous story is no exception. While Jesus mourns the death of his cousin, a great crowd gathers near, hoping to see, hear, and hopefully touch and be touched by Jesus. We see how He ministers to them, multiplying a small gift in a way that only He can do. Let’s study this amazing gospel story and learn what it means for us today.

422// Standing Up for What's Right: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 14:1-13 There's a lot going on in this story, and you have probably heard it in the past. Today, we’re diving into the death of John the Baptist and the picture it paints of the depravity of man.

421// When You’re Not Accepted:  Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 13:44-58 In Jesus’ day, treasured possessions would often be buried for safekeeping. So his hearers would have instantly connected with the story of a man finding a buried treasure in a field. In this parable, Jesus uses buried treasure imagery to stir his listeners to see how the Kingdom of God is worth sacrificing whatever is necessary - because it is a treasure far greater than anything on earth. In today’s study, we’ll see how this teaching and others stirred up both amazement and skepticism - and for Jesus, this meant not being accepted everywhere he went.

420// What is Heaven Like? Jesus Answers: Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 13:31-43 Jesus used all sorts of metaphors to describe the indescribable kingdom of God and the people who will inhabit it: it’s like a mustard seed, yeast in dough, seeds in a field. In this section of Scripture, Jesus tells the crowd these parables to reveal things that were until that point hidden from them. We’ll unpack the meaning of these parables and see what God wants us to hear and understand today. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

Natalie is the author of “Raised to Stay: Persevering in Ministry When You Have a Million Reasons to Walk Away.” We talk about what it’s like to be called to ministry as a woman and the temptation to walk away after hurt and struggle, particularly after serving under toxic leadership.

417// The Parable of The Sower: What It Means: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 13:1-23 The Kingdom of God was unexpected and different from anything the disciples of the people of Jesus’ day had been expecting, and so Jesus often used parables to try to help them understand exactly what the kingdom and God were like and to confront his opponents. We can learn a lot from studying the parables, not only about the kingdom of God but about healthy boundaries and who and how Jesus offered revelation. The parable of the sower shows us that it is our responsibility to cast the seed, but bearing fruit is ultimately up to God. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

416// Is There An Unpardonable Sin? A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 12:30-43 Some people carry around a fear that they have committed an unpardonable sin, based on these verses in Matthew.

415// Dealing with Evil in Our World : A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 12:15-29 The American church, so many times, wants to ignore that we are facing a spiritual battle. But Jesus did not deny that demons and spiritual forces were at work against him and the Kingdom of God. Today, we’re talking about demon possession, spiritual warfare, and what deliverance looks like for us in the Western church. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

414// How to Correctly View the Sabbath: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 12:1-14 The Fourth Commandment specified that no work should be performed on the Sabbath, and that day would be kept holy to honor God. So over time the Sabbath became one of the most recognizable characteristics of the Jewish people. That, along with things like their dietary laws, set them apart as a culture. So in this chapter of Matthew, Jesus tackles the topic of the Sabbath and how to correctly interpret the Sabbath as He explains the heart of the Sabbath principle.

412// His Yoke Is Easy and His Burden Is Light: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 11 There’s a lot happening in this chapter of the Bible, and we’re going to study it together. First, we have John the Baptist, who has a question for Jesus, and it seems like a huge change in attitude since we saw him in Matthew 3. Next, Jesus has stern warnings for several of the cities where he had done the bulk of his miracles. Finally, we see Jesus share some of the most comforting words of Scripture for those who are weak and suffering. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

411// Do Not Fear Persecution: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:24-42 Sometimes, when we are sharing the gospel, there are going to be people who are not receptive to the gospel message. In fact, not only are they not receptive, they're going to hate us because of it. What do you do with that kind of persecution? If it makes you afraid, you’re not alone. The disciples were probably afraid too. That’s why Jesus tells them specifically not to be afraid of what man or even the enemy can do to us. If God sends us out, he’s going to protect and equip us along the way. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

410// Sheep Among Wolves: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:16-23 When Jesus sends out the disciples to go share the good news with others, he doesn’t send them unprepared. In today’s bible study, we’re going to look closely at Jesus’ instructions for the disciples' long-term mission (which is our mission, too!).

409// What to Do When Others Reject the Gospel: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:7-15 What did Jesus do when a community rejected him?

407// Ordinary People With An Extraordinary God: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:1-6 Sometimes we can look at the apostles with admiration, thinking there is no way we could ever measure up. But when we realize that they were ordinary people, it helps us to realize that they were only able to do what they did because we have an extraordinary God.

406// Jesus Is The Healer: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 9:27-35 Jesus sets the example for us in the Scriptures when He ministers healing to people in the gospels. Today as we look at Jesus as the healer, we recognize that there is a role for us to play in the lives of those around us. In a world that is hurting and broken, Jesus calls us to take light into the darkness because the harvest is ready.    Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

405// A Scandalous Kind of Faith: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 9:14-26 There are times in the Scriptures when Jesus is moved with compassion because of the amount of faith that someone approaches Him with. Often, it comes from someone that you would least expect it to.

402// How Sickness and Sin Are Connected - And How They Are Not: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 9:1-8   In the Jewish culture of Jesus’ day, there was a connection between sin and sickness. They saw it as basically the same thing. But throughout his ministry, Jesus delineates between the two. In today’s bible study on Matthew 9, we’ll talk about when sickness and sin are related, and when they are not. In this chapter, we learn that Jesus is concerned not just with healing sickness but ultimately, healing sin. And he makes one of his most radical claims yet - that he has the authority to forgive sins.    Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

401// Why Would Jesus Drown 2000 Pigs? A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 8:28-34   This Bible story has a lot in it that can confuse or even agitate us. First, we have to grapple with demonic possession and what that was like in Jesus’ day. Then, we have to grapple with the fact that Jesus drove the demons into a large herd of pigs, causing them to rush into the water and drown. Why would Jesus allow this to happen? We’ll be looking at the historical context for this story to gain clarity, and thus be able to interpret and apply this story correctly to our lives.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

400// When the Storms of Life Hit, Do This: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 8:23-27   Ever been caught driving through an unexpected storm? It can be terrifying. What about a hurricane? We would want to avoid being out in a storm like that at all costs. Now imagine being in the middle of a body of water, on a small boat, in the middle of a hurricane, and I’m sure you can start to imagine just how terrified the disciples were, and how perplexed they would have been that Jesus was asleep through it. In today’s scripture study, we’re going to talk about how we ought to respond when the storms of life hit, and what truths and promises of God we can cling to.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

399// The Cost of Following Jesus: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 8:14-22   As we make our way through the gospel of Matthew, we read about Jesus healing Peter’s mother after she has suffered through an illness. What she does after she is healed ought to be a blueprint for our own actions after we experience healing. After that, we read of men who came to Jesus ready to follow him, but Jesus’ reply shows us just what it costs to follow Jesus. Today’s bible study helps us see that the cost of following Jesus isn’t immediate or monetary, but there is a cost that every disciple of God will feel.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

Life is about transitions, it’s part of the human experience.  How do we embrace those moments instead of longing for the next stage?  Today I invited my friend Nicki Koziarz on the show to talk about those transitions and her new book, Your New Now.  Nicki walks us through the life of Moses, as an example to us when we are living in a place of transition.  I pray this episode blesses you!   Nicki Koziarz is an ECPA bestselling author and a speaker with Proverbs 31 Ministries. She speaks nationally at conferences, retreats, and meetings and hosts her own podcast, Lessons from the Farm. An evangelist at heart, Nicki inspires others to become the best version of who God created them to be. Nicki, her husband, and their family run a small farm just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, which they affectionately call The Fixer Upper Farm. Learn more at nickikoziarz.com. Your New Now is available at Nicki’s website, or wherever books are sold.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.  Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study : https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

  Ever wonder what it would have taken to impress Jesus? Well, we get a glimpse of that in Matthew 8, in the story of the faith of the Centurian. In this bible study, we’ll examine what about his faith was so remarkable to Jesus. We’ll also discuss the kind of people Jesus went looking for to make disciples, and how surprising his choices were to the people of that day. Finally, we’ll wrap in prayer for our own faith to grow in what Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, can accomplish in us.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

If you’ve studied the Bible for any length of time, you know that a huge portion of the work Jesus did on earth was healing people. We see him opening the eyes of the blind, healing the sick, and even raising the dead back to life. In this devotional on Matthew 8, we see Jesus’ interaction with a man who has leprosy. Let’s hear from God today and learn what it cost Jesus to heal then, and what it has cost him to heal us now.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

Jesus had a lot to say about good fruit and bad fruit. But it’s not always obvious what kind of fruit we (or the people around us) are growing. The Bible give us guidance on what good fruit looks like and how we avoid rotten fruit. Today, we’ll wrap up our Bible study on Matthew 7 and look at what it means to bear good fruit, how to spot rotten fruit, and how to build a firm foundation on Jesus.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Today we continue studying the Lord’s Prayer, we talk through the idea of forgiveness and how it impacts our relationship with God. While this prayer is called a model prayer, it’s not about reciting words or a formula. Instead it’s about recognizing God as a faithful Father who longs to connect with His children.

The Lord’s Prayer is one that many of us are familiar with. Sometimes though, that familiarity keeps us from fully understanding what Jesus was meaning when it was called a model prayer.

Intimacy with God starts with prayer. Today we take a look at the way Jesus taught us to pray, as well as the ways He taught us NOT to pray. Authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to inviting Jesus into our mess, so it’s important that we pray from that place instead of trying to “clean up” our prayers. As we uncover the depth of prayer beyond mere words, I pray this episode blesses you.   This episode is a companion to Episode 16 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll Learn: https://shehears.org Shop: https://shehears.org/resources Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.    Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

In today’s episode, Rachael focuses on the often-overlooked genealogy found in the beginning of Matthew.  In a culture where lineage was synonymous with identity, Matthew's genealogy is a treasure trove of symbolism, revealing essential truths about Jesus' heritage and mission. In this episode, we learn how Matthew strategically crafts his genealogy as a bridge connecting the messianic promises to their fulfillment in Jesus. This was pivotal for the Jewish audience, signifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah who would restore Israel.   This episode encourages listeners to reconsider the significance of this genealogy, urging them not to miss the nuances that point to God's restoration plan. Just as God worked through broken lives in the past, He continues to use imperfect people for His perfect plan.    This episode is a companion to Episode 4 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll   Learn: https://shehears.org   Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

The book of Matthew stands as a powerful introduction to the New Testament, revealing the heart of the gospel message – the good news about Jesus. As one of the original twelve apostles, Matthew presents a compelling narrative of Jesus' life, teachings, and transformative ministry. Matthew's overarching goal is to affirm Jesus' kingship and authority, even in ways that challenge the expectations of his audience. He masterfully weaves a narrative that emphasizes Jesus' fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, serving as a guide for Jewish Christians to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. This purposeful approach resonates with the broader theme of fulfillment found throughout the gospel. Whether you're a seasoned reader or new to the Scriptures, the Hearing Jesus podcast offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your understanding of Jesus' life, teachings, and enduring impact.   This episode is a companion to Episode 3 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll   Learn: https://shehears.org   Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

In this episode of the Hearing Jesus podcast, host Rachael Groll delves into the concept of the gospel and the reason for having four gospels in the Bible. The gospel is a genre of writing, specifically biographies about the life of Jesus, and it is found at the beginning of the New Testament. Rachael explains that the gospels were not necessarily written in chronological order, and each gospel writer had a unique perspective and audience in mind. Rachael addresses common questions about reading the gospels, including the differences in sequence and wording among the accounts. She highlights the literary techniques used by ancient writers, such as rearranging sources for emphasis. The gospels were primarily meant to be heard, not read, as public readings spread the message to wider audiences. As modern readers, Rachael encourages us to engage with the gospels by understanding the cultural context, considering the morals of the stories, and applying the teachings to our lives. She concludes with a prayer for listeners, inviting them to explore the treasure of God's word and seek a fresh understanding of the gospel message. The Hearing Jesus podcast offers valuable insights into understanding the gospels and deepening one's connection with Jesus. Join Rachael as she leads listeners through an in-depth study of the gospels, providing rich context and practical applications for today's audience. Learn to approach the scriptures with fresh ears and an open heart, discovering the beauty and significance of the gospel message.   This episode is a companion to Episode 2 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll   Learn: https://shehears.org   Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Before we dive into the study of the New Testament, I wanted to spend a little time looking at what the scholars call the “inter-testamental” period or the “silent years.”  These were the years between the Old Testament and the New Testament.  One thing that we learn from this period of time is that just because God is silent, it doesn’t mean He isn’t working.

How Quieting Our Hearts Helps Us Hear From God   So many of us avoid solitude because of a fear of loneliness.  Did you know that the two are not necessarily the same thing?  In fact, they are radically different.  Quieting our hearts from all the distractions is an important part of learning to hear God more clearly.  Join me this week as we discuss ways to bring solitude into our daily lives.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

Finding Hope and Healing After Your Marriage Ends: Special Guest Brandi Wilson   Some seasons of life seem more difficult than one human should have to bear. For Brandi Wilson that season was 2016, the year her husband – a megachurch pastor – walked away from the church and their family. As her 20-year marriage dissolved, Brandi also lost her church community, her dreams for the future, and a huge part of her identity. She and her three boys began a new journey marked by deep grief and suffering – but also hope, freedom, boldness, and peace. Today Brandi thanks God for the redemptive healing in her life and reassures other newly single women that they are not alone. Divorce is not the end of the story.   Join me in today’s episode as I talk with Brandi about how women can find Hope and Healing after their marriage ends.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Summer Bible Study: A Woman of Forgiveness- Part 2  (Continued from yesterday) The thing about sin is that very few of us start out with the intention to sin.  We kind of just end up there.  When we feel powerless to overcome that struggle in our lives, that’s where Jesus steps in to meet us with a balance of truth and grace. Apart from Him, we can do nothing.  It’s time we stop trying to deal with the stain of sin on our own.  We have all been there, and we will be there again.  The reality is we are all guilty.  That’s why we need Jesus.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Summer Bible Study: A Woman of Forgiveness- Part 1  The thing about sin is that very few of us start out with the intention to sin.  We kind of just end up there.  When we feel powerless to overcome that struggle in our lives, that’s where Jesus steps in to meet us with a balance of truth and grace. Apart from Him, we can do nothing.  It’s time we stop trying to deal with the stain of sin on our own.  We have all been there and we will be there again.  The reality is we are all guilty.  That’s why we need Jesus.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Summer Bible Study: Everything Jesus does is intentional- A Devotional Look at Mary, Mother of Jesus   Today we look at Mary’s example of how to handle the seasons when God asks us to lay something down.  Her example of faith helps us to surrender to what Jesus is calling us to lay down in our own lives.   Everything Jesus does is intentional.  He doesn’t react, He responds.   From today’s episode:   Heart Check: Is there an area of your life that you are hesitant to bring to Jesus?  Or when you do, it’s accompanied by a justification or explanation of why you are feeling the way you do? Let the Lord reveal the things in your life that you need to take to Him.   The role and responsibility given to Mary by God was also taken away by God.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today’s content is from Chapter 1- Mary- A Woman of Authority.   Mary had authority because God gave her authority.  Authority is a gift from God.   Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be. Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

A Grand Finale of Celebration and Praise: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 150   In today’s final episode of our Psalms series, we are celebrating Psalm 150 as a kind of grand finale of the Book of Psalms: it's all about praising and celebrating.

Raw and Honest Prayers: How King David's Example Can Transform Your Prayer Life: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 143   Psalm 143 portrays King David in a state of emotional distress - feeling low, anxious, and likely struggling to sleep as he turns to God in prayer. He acknowledges his desperation and realizes that his only hope is in God's intervention. Have you experienced a similar situation? I certainly have. I find David's example of being honest and genuine with God in our prayers inspiring. This passage reminds us that it's okay to express our deepest emotions to God and seek His help in times of need. I hope this episode brings you encouragement, particularly when you find yourself in a similar circumstance. Thoughts to Journal: Think about a time in your life when you felt overwhelmed, anxious, or low, just like King David in Psalm 143. How did you handle those emotions? Did you turn to God in prayer or try to manage them on your own? Reflect on what you learned from that experience and how you can apply David's example of being real and honest with God in your prayer life. Write down a prayer to God, expressing your raw emotions and seeking His help in any current struggles or challenges you may be facing.

Honoring God with Our Words: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 141   Hey there, welcome to the Hearing Jesus podcast! In today's episode, we're going to dive into Psalm 141 and explore David's prayer to God about his words. We'll talk about how this prayer can help us yield our hearts and minds to the Lord, especially in difficult situations where our mouths can get the best of us. David's example reminds us to ask for God's guidance and control over our mouths and hearts, so we can respond in ways that honor Him. So, if you're looking for inspiration and guidance on how to pray and surrender your words to God, this episode is for you. I pray this episode blesses you! Thoughts to Journal: How has your mouth responded in the past when you have been faced with a similar experience to David?  When you think about this in terms of your mouth being a reflection of what’s in your heart, what thoughts do you have?  Do you need to surrender your words to the Lord?  Spend some time in prayer today, asking God to help you the next time you are in this kind of situation. Today’s Key Verse: Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.

There is Only One Hero in the Bible : Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 140   Today’s passage looks at the behavior of David, in a situation that is pretty similar to what each of us have gone through.  Yet there are some aspects that we should recognize as part of his humanity, and not necessarily something we should emulate.  Instead, we should look to Jesus, how He responded, as our model.  As we compare the two today, I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: In the past, have you looked to the human character in the Bible as the heroes?  How does your perspective shift when you realize that they aren’t the ones that are the hero?  Allow yourself some time today to process that, as you start to look for God’s character and nature to be the model we chase after. Today’s Key Verse: I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor. Psalm 140:12 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

Thoughts to Journal: Does the understanding of God’s omniscience change anything for you?  Or the fact that the enemy is not omniscient?  What about God’s omnipresence?  Spend some time today, reflecting on the ways these truths impact your relationship with God. Today’s Key Verse: How precious also are Your thoughts for me, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the sand.

The Faithfulness of God is Everlasting: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 138   Today is the first of eight psalms written by David.  David’s prayer of thankfulness and praise also includes his desire to see the name of Yahweh praised in the surrounding nations. Eventually, the spread of the gospel would reach outside of Israel after Jesus came.  As we unpack this psalm, may it encourage you to pray for those that do not yet know Him. Thoughts to Journal: In the midst of trouble, we see David praising God for His faithfulness.  When you think of God’s name, do you also think about his character?  His behavior?  His reputation?  How can those things encourage you when you are going through trouble?  Spend some time today reminding yourself of these things so you can refer to them in difficult seasons. Today’s Key Verse: On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

Yearning for God’s Presence: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 137   As we study today the worship leaders of Israel, and the longing they experienced while in captivity, it reminds us of the yearning we sometimes feel as we live in the space of the “already but not yet.”  We are already one with Christ, but not yet fully restored, and we won’t be this side of heaven.  It is a normal human emotion to sometimes wrestle with that yearning.  I pray that as we unpack today’s psalm, it helps you settle into a place of thankfulness for the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Thoughts to Journal: Do you ever long for heaven?  For the complete restoration of our lives, our bodies, and our world?  If we are honest, it sometimes is hard not to yearn for that when we look at the world around us.  Spend some time today thanking God for the gift of the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to be a light in this dark world as we wait for Christ’s return. Today’s Key Verse: May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you Psalm 137:6a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

Feeling Stuck in Your Prayer Life?  Using Psalm 136 as a Model to Get Unstuck: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 136   Today we take a look at the redemptive thread woven throughout Israel’s history through the eyes of the psalmist.  This passage can be a model for us when we feel stuck in prayer, as we praise God for the way He has worked in our own lives.  We can also look forward to the redemptive work Jesus accomplished on the cross.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Do you sometimes get stuck in your prayer life?  Try to take the patterns we see in Psalm 136 as a model for your own prayer life to get you started.  Remember that it’s not a formula, but an idea to get you started.  The goal of prayer is relationship.  Write out your response to Him, He longs to spend time with you, friend! Today’s Key Verse: Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:26   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Praising God for His Goodness and His Greatness: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 135   Praising God has more to do with who He is than what He may be doing in our lives.  We know God’s character and nature does not change, so we can also praise Him for who He will be in the future. Today we see that example in Psalm 135. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you simply praised God for who He is?  For His goodness and greatness, not in response to a current situation?  While it is important to praise Him for what He has done and what He is currently doing, it’s also important to praise Him for who we know Him to be.  Take some time to write out a prayer of praise to Him today. Today’s Key Verse: Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Psalm 135:1 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Encouraging Our Spiritual Leaders: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 133 and Psalm 134   Today we again combine two shorter Psalms that both talk about the ways we can encourage our spiritual leaders.  We also discuss unity and how important that is for the body of Christ.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you spoke a word of encouragement or appreciation to someone that is a spiritual leader in your life? What can you do this week to reach out to that person to let them know you value them? Spend some time praying for them today and name something specific you can do to encourage them. Today’s Key Verse: May the Lord bless you from Zion,  He who is the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 134:3   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

God’s Covenant Promise That Points to Jesus: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 131 and 132   Today we combine two Psalms that reveal some key characteristics about God’s nature.  As we study today, I pray these thoughts sink down from your head and into your heart. Thoughts to Journal: Nurturing, compassionate, faithful, present.  How does the content in today’s psalm minister to your heart?  When we remember that the Lord is on the throne, we realize that there is nothing we have to face in this world alone.  Spend some time in worship today, praising Him for the way He chases after you. Today’s Key Verse: This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. Psalm 132:14 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

Waiting for Restoration After We Have Fallen Into Sin: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 130   As believers, we all have times in our lives when we have to deal with the consequences and chaos of sin. While we know that God can restore us, the period of waiting for that to happen can be difficult to endure.  Today we talk about the peace that can happen while we are working through the restoration process.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have there been times in your life when you have experienced chaos as a consequence of sin in your life? Are you going through a season like that right now?  How do you react in those situations?  Are you quick to come back to God and ask for His help?  Spend some time processing what it would look like to remember that He is a God who forgives and longs to restore us to right relationship with Him. Today’s Key Verse: For with the Lord there is mercy, And with Him is abundant redemption. Psalm 130:7   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Balancing the Emotions We Feel After Something Hard: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 129   In today’s episode, we take a look at the variety of emotions Israel had after experiencing community trauma. Their humanity is not that different than ours, and I am thankful we have this example in Scripture.  I pray that as we look at this Psalm today, it helps you understand that God longs for you to bring things to Him, even the things that are hard. Thoughts to Journal: Are there hard emotions that you resist taking to God about your past?  Friend, He longs for you to honestly come to Him with those emotions, it’s how we heal.  Take some time today to bring those unspoken things to the one who can heal your heart.

Is the Prosperity Gospel a Biblical Principle? What the Bible Actually Teaches: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 128   Many of us are familiar with the term “prosperity gospel,” but what does Scripture actually say?  Today we unpack a portion of Scripture that is sometimes used to perpetuate some false teaching.  I pray this conversation blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have you had some inaccurate thoughts when it comes to prosperity within the Christian life?  How does today’s teaching change your perspective?  When it comes to prosperity, what does a prosperous relationship with the Lord look like in your life?  If that is not what you are experiencing right now, spend some time in prayer, talking with the Lord about that. Today’s Key Verse: Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways.  Psalm 128:1   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Unless the Lord Builds the House- Recognizing God’s Hand of Blessing in Our Lives: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 127 In today’s hustle culture, it can be easy to lose sight of God’s blessings in our lives and take the credit for those blessings ourselves.  Today’s psalm serves as a powerful reminder that any good thing in our life is a gift from God.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have you been guilty of taking the credit for the good things in your life that are actually blessings from God?  Have you spent too much time building things that are temporary instead of things that are eternal?  What are you currently building for the kingdom?  Spend some time before the Lord today, carefully thinking through this topic, and write down what the Lord is saying to you.

Restoration Is A Process: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 125 and 126   Today we focus on both Psalm 125 and 126 together because they give us a powerful picture of the restorative work that God can do after a difficult season.  While we won’t be fully restored until we get to heaven, there can be such joy in knowing that God can work in the places of our lives that the enemy tried to steal.  I pray this episode blesses you! Thoughts to Journal: Are there any areas of your life that are needing restoration?  Does it sometimes feel difficult to have joy about incomplete restoration?  Take some time today to praise God for the ways He restores and redeems, even if you are not seeing that yet in a particular area of your life.  We can have confidence that God will restore, even if we can’t see it yet. Today’s Key Verse: Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Psalm 126:5   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Thanking God When He Fights Our Enemies On Our Behalf: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 124   Sometimes we forget that the world we live in is not neutral, it’s evil.  We are powerless to fight the enemy of our lives without God’s help.  Today we see Psalm 124 as a model to pray and thank God for the way He intervenes in our lives. I pray this episode encourages you! Thoughts to Journal: React to the statement that the world we live in is not neutral, but evil.  Is that hard for you to remember sometimes?  How does that realization impact your heart towards your relationship with God?  Spend some time today, thanking Him for all the battles He fights for us, even the ones we don’t know about. Today’s Key Verse: Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Humble Surrender to God In the Same Way of Jesus: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 123   Psalm 123 showcases a humble posture before God as the psalmist asks God to intervene and help.  In the New Testament, we see Jesus display His humility as He serves people and serves God.  Today’s devotional helps us recognize this aspect of humility as we surrender to God, even when we don’t understand. Thoughts to Journal: What are some ways you resist surrendering fully to God?  How does the example of humility we see in this psalm, as well as the example of Jesus impact your heart today?  Are there situations or emotions that you are resisting handing over?  Why do you think that is?  Spend some time allowing the Lord to work in your heart in this area today. Today’s Key Verse: To You I have raised my eyes, You who are enthroned in the heavens! Psalm 123:1   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Praying Peace for Jerusalem and Our World Leaders: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 122   We know that Jerusalem was the Holy place in the Old Testament where God revealed Himself to His people. However, Jesus talks about the body of Christ, believers, as the New Jerusalem.  Because of the Holy Spirit, God’s presence is no longer bound to just one location.  It’s important to remember that as we pray for our leaders in both Jerusalem and our own countries. Thoughts to Journal: Spend some time meditating on the fact that holiness is not bound to a specific location.  Instead, if you are a believer, the Holy Spirit is in you, and He makes His presence available to you, no matter where you are.  What does that practically mean for you as you live your daily life?  Spend some time reflecting on that today. Today’s Key Verse: For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.” Psalm 122:8 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

The God Who Watches Over You Day and Night: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 121   In today’s psalm, we focus in on the way that God protects us as His people every moment of every day. There are things that He protects us from that we aren’t even aware of.  As we look at this prayer of confidence from the psalms, I pray that it leaves you encouraged.   Thoughts to Journal: How does it feel to know that God is actively protecting you, even while you sleep?  Have you ever thought of that before?  Does it ease your anxiety a little bit?  Spend some time in prayer today, releasing to God the things you are holding onto tightly.  You can trust Him, friend.

The Confidence We Gain When We Know God is Present: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 120   Many of us have had moments where we are scared and facing something bigger than ourselves.  The benefit of walking with God in those moments is that we gain a confidence in our relationship with Him which will help us get through the next time we are facing similar circumstances.  In today’s episode, we see a model of prayer for when we are facing such circumstances. I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we know that there is nowhere we can go that God is not present with us.  Have there been times in your life when you felt similar to what the psalmist felt in today’s psalm?

God’s Law Reveals His Character: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 119   Today’s Psalm is the longest Psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible.  We see how intentional the psalmist was to carefully plan out each stanza.  It reveals to us the reason why we need Jesus.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: As you think about how much the Psalmist valued the law in his life, think about the law in your own life.  Have there been times that you have felt overwhelmed or intimidated by how much it seems like there is we need to do?  Or not do?  How does the realization that Jesus is the only one who was able to follow the law impact you?  Do you see the connection as to why we need a relationship with Jesus?  Spend some time reflecting on all of this today.

God’s Love Endures Forever: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 117 and Psalm 118   Today we are walking through both Psalm 117 and Psalm 118.  Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible, and it accompanies Psalm 118 so well.  In Psalm 118, we see a foreshadowing of Jesus as the stone that was rejected becomes the capstone.  Jesus quotes Psalm 118 in several places in the New Testament, so it’s important we learn what it says. I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: Think through the concept of the stone the builder’s rejected.  Do you recognize how the Resurrection of Jesus has become the capstone?  What does that practically mean in your own life?  Is He your foundation stone?  Spend some time in prayer today, praising Him for the way He has intervened in your own life. Today’s Key Verse: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:29   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do.

He Hears Us: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 116   While we spend a lot of time learning how to hear God’s voice more clearly, it’s important to realize that He hears us, too.  Today we look see how the psalmist responds when God hears his prayer as an example of how we are to respond- with praise.   Thoughts to Journal: How does it impact your heart to recognize that God hears you?  While we may not always get the answer we want, we can trust that God is faithful and hears our prayers. Spend some time today praising Him for how He hears you and can be trusted. Today’s Key Verse: I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2     Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

He is Our Help and Shield: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 115   When we see repetition in the Scriptures, it should cause us to take notice.  Repetition means God wants us to pay attention.  Today the phrase, “He is our help and shield,” is repeated for us in a way that calls us to praise Him in all things.  I pray this episode is a blessing to you.   Thoughts to Journal: Think through what it means for God to be your help and shield.  How can you actively remember that in both good times and bad?  What are some practical ways you can put active remembrance into practice in your life?  List some ideas out. Today’s Key Verse: May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 115: 14-15 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

The God Who Brings Water From the Rock: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 114   Today we gather hope from looking at some of the ways God intervened on behalf of His people throughout Israel’s history.  We can also have hope because of the way Jesus intervenes for us today.  As we are reminded of the God who brings water from the rock, it’s my prayer that you are encouraged.   Thoughts to Journal: Are there areas of your life that you are needing some water?  Spend some time asking the Lord to bring “water from the rock.”  We can rest in the hope of knowing we serve a God who deeply cares for His people. Today’s Key Verse: Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.

The God of Hope Who Stays Involved With His Creation: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 112   Throughout the scriptures, we see God’s heart as He leans down to care for us as His creation.  Dealing with some of the most vulnerable people, His care for people is woven throughout both the Old and New Testaments.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: How does God’s care and concern for His creation give you hope?  If we are to take seriously what God models for us, what impact would that make on your life?  Is there someone you think He may be calling you to reach out to?  Spend some time in prayer today, thinking about what He may be trying to use this passage in your life. Today’s Key Verse: From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. Psalm 133:3 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

The Godly Male Counterpart to the Proverbs 31 Woman: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 112   Many of us have heard of and studied the godly woman in Proverbs 31, but did you know there is a male counterpart to that passage?  It’s found in Psalm 112.  While many of the characteristics apply to both men and women, the ancients who heard this passage would have heard it as an example of what it meant to be a Godly man.  Today’s episode is so interesting, I pray it blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: If you are honest, does fear occupy more of your thoughts than it should?  If the fear of God doesn’t leave room for fear of the world, what does that mean for your fears?  The key is your relationship with God.  If that relationship is not where it should be, spend some time in prayer, talking to God about that today. Today’s Key Verse: Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. Psalm 112:4   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Praising God With All Our Hearts: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 111 Sometimes when we see God as Creator, it humbles us to recognize that He chose us and loves us as His creation.  In today’s psalm, we join the psalmist in praising God with our whole hearts.  I pray this episode is a blessing to you.   Thoughts to Journal: How does the meaning of the fear of God impact you?  Is this a different understanding that you have had before?  Thinking back over your life, what times have you been in awe of the Creator?  Spend some time reflecting on that moment today. Today’s Key Verse: Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Psalm 111:2 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

Knowing that We Have Won the War Doesn’t Mean We Don’t Still Have Battles to Fight: Reflections from Psalm 110   Today’s psalm is quoted by Jesus as He defends Himself to the Pharisees.  In this powerful psalm, we see the prophetic nature of how the Messiah was revealed to be a victorious king, long before He was even born.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: Do you take comfort in knowing that Jesus is forever on the throne?  Are there circumstances in your life that you need to surrender to the one who holds the victory?  While we know that the battle is already won, it helps to know that there is one that fights alongside us.

God’s Plan is Better Than Our Plan: How God Shows Us His Faithfulness in Psalm 106 So many of us tend to choose our own way in life instead of God’s way.

Why Bible Study? How is a Bible Study Different from a Devotional? How can we hear from God in our daily lives? This week, I introduce the Bible Study I wrote and how God birthed this project in my heart. My prayer is that it will help you grow in your own walk with the Lord. Link to the FREE Playlist to accompany the Bible Study: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2zh3FEtNcz0ZdrJm1GCEkM?si=d39974bf0c674d78 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.

Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach.  And I have been there.  I too was doubting God’s voice in my own life.  I too felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do.  I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was.  I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me.  Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.  If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.

God Made Us and We Are His: How Psalm 100 Sums Up the Gospel Message to Give Us Joy The beauty of the salvation message is that God makes it available for all people for all time.  Today we look at Psalm 100 and the beautiful salvation message that produces in us hope and joy.  I pray this episode blesses you.

Listening in Prayer: How Psalm 99 Showcases God’s Answers to Prayer When We Take the Time to Listen Sometimes we are quick to pray but slow to listen. Today we look at the examples of Moses, Aaron, and Samuel who not only listened to God, but were obedient in what He told them to do.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: When you pray, do you take the time to actually listen?

Loving What God Loves and Hating What God Hates: Reflections from Psalm 97 Growing in our relationship with the Lord allows God’s glory to shine in our lives.  When that light is present, it exposes the sin of the world around us and sometimes even in our own lives.  Today we talk about that concept and what it looks like to love what God loves and hate what God hates. Thoughts to Journal: Are there things in your life that God hates but you hesitate to deal with them?  Maybe it’s sin in your own life.  Maybe it’s tolerating the sin of others when you know you should speak out.  Spend some time today thinking about what it practically means to love what God loves and hate what God hates and list some of those things out. Today’s Key Verse: Let those that love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

How Praise Motivates Us to Share God’s Love With Others: Reflections from Psalm 96 As we celebrate God’s goodness in our lives, we can use those moments as an opportunity to share what God is doing with those around us.  Our praise and testimony can be the very things God uses to draw others close. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you shared what God is doing in your life with someone that is not a believer?  Pray and ask God to show you someone that you can share that message with.  Perhaps write out a prayer for them right now.

Why You May Not Be Hearing God’s Voice: Reflections from Psalm 95 In today’s psalm, we are reminded of the generation of people that wandered around in the wilderness.  Their disobedience teaches us something powerful if we pay attention.  I pray this episode gives you clarity as you learn to hear God’s voice more clearly. Thoughts to Journal: Is there a possibility that your heart has become hardened towards God in some areas?  Are there areas of ignored sin in your life that may have led to that?  Be honest and real with this, and then invite God into that space as you confess that to Him.  Today’s Key Verse: Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your heart as you did. Psalm 95:8a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Seeing God’s Discipline as His Love for Us: Reflections from Psalm 94 There are two sides to God’s sovereignty, His discipline and His blessing. Sometimes we forget in moments of discipline or judgement, that He is operating in love for us.  Today we unpack that concept a little bit and think through what that means in our lives.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How do you respond when God disciplines you or convicts you in your life?  Does thinking of God as a father help you process those times? Today spend some time thinking about God’s deep love for you and how His discipline shows that He cares for you. Today’s Key Verse: But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

Recognizing God As Sovereign in Our Past, Our Present, and Our Future : Reflections from Psalm 93 For many of us, it is easy to praise God as sovereign in our lives when it comes to the present or even the future as we trust Him.  But for some of us, it’s more difficult to recognize God’s sovereignty over our past.  Today we explore this topic and more, I pray it blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Do you find it difficult to recognize God as sovereign in any of these seasons of your life?  Past, present, or future?  Why is that?  As you sit with this today, spend some time reflecting on God’s sovereignty in your life and journal through any thoughts that are keeping you from admitting this fully.

How Hard Times in Our Lives Lead Us to Praise God : Reflections from Psalm 92 Praise comes from an overflow of our hearts as a result of God’s work in our lives.  Today we look at Psalm 92 and the idea of how praise and thanksgiving go hand in hand.  How do we praise God when things in our life are hard?  It’s the hard times that produce praise in us because they are opportunities for God to show Himself faithful in our lives.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: What can you praise God for today?  Try to come up with a list of at least ten things and write them down.  Perhaps consider repeating this practice every day, until it becomes habit to praise God in all things. Today’s Key Verse: But you, O Lord, are exalted forever. Psalm 92:8   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there.

I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

How Spending Time in God’s Word is a Direct Connection to How Much Peace We Experience: Reflections from Psalm 91 God’s word is the primary way He speaks to us, yet so many times we don’t spend time in the word when we are going through difficult circumstances.  Today we look at this connection and are reminded of how God’s presence is what will sustain is during difficult seasons.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How does the connection between reading God’s word and spending time with Him translate into you having more peace in your life?  What does this practically look like for you?  Are there some ways that God may be calling you to a deeper relationship with Him?  Spend some time reflecting on that today.

When Darkness Feels Like a Friend: Reflections from Psalm 88 Sometimes life can get us to a place where thoughts of depression, anxiety, and even suicide can make us feel like darkness may be our only friend.  The enemy would have you believe that, and we see in the psalms that even the psalmists struggled with similar emotions.  As we learn to lean into what we know instead of what we feel, we can have hope in the God who saves.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have you had seasons in your life where darkness felt like a friend?  If you are in that place right now, name someone you can reach out to for help.  What are some practical ways that you can deal with these emotions next time they surface?

Our Enemies are Also God’s Enemies: Reflections from Psalm 83 One of the truths of Scripture that has changed things for me is the understanding that as God’s child, my enemies are His enemies.  We see in Psalm 83 how the enemies of Israel are the enemies of God.  What we see is a powerful way to pray when we are up against something bigger than ourselves.  I pray this episode blesses you.

I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was.

Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

How Our Attitude Towards Justice Reflects Our Faithfulness to God: Reflections from Psalm 82 Speaking up on behalf of the weak and the needy is a theme we see throughout the Scriptures. Justice is something that God takes seriously, and as believers, we have a responsibility to take it seriously as well.  Caring for what God cares about is a measure of our faithfulness to God.  I pray this helps you understand God’s heart for the “least of these.” Thoughts to Journal: In what ways have you neglected this area of speaking up for those that cannot speak for themselves?  How does your perspective change when you recognize how seriously God takes this issue?  What can you do this week to step into the calling God has for us in the area of justice? Today’s Key Verse: Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Psalm 82:3   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Do You Listen Obediently to God? How Our Disobedience Harms Our Relationship With God: Reflections from Psalm 81 What does it mean to obediently listen?  In Psalm 81 we see God’s call to listen to Him because He desires to bless.  Over and over we see God’s heart is for reconciliation and relationship. As we study Psalm 81, we can learn from Israel’s example to listen to the one who loves us most. Thoughts to Journal: Do you ever struggle to be obedient to God when He calls you to do something?  Sometimes we hear Him but don’t want to actually be obedient to Him.  When we realize that the call to obedience is more about our relationship with Him than anything else, it can change our perspective.  Allow yourself some time to reflect and journal your honest thoughts. Today’s Key Verse: If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hands against their foes. Psalm 81:13-14   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Is Life Hard Right Now? A Prayer from Psalm 80 for When We Feel Like We are Hitting Rock Bottom There is an old cliché that talks about finally looking up at God once we hit rock bottom.  But God’s heart is that you wouldn’t wait so long and that you would turn to Him for help because that’s truly the only way we will get through those hard seasons.  Psalm 80 shows us how to pray when life is hard.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have there been times in your life when everything seems to be just going wrong?  Do you invite God into those moments?  If not, why do you think that is? How would things be different if you turned to Him right away instead of waiting? Today’s Key Verse: Restore us, O Lord God Almighty, make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. Psalm 80:19   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Interceding in Prayer On the Behalf of Others: Reflections from Psalm 79 Psalm 79 shows us a powerful example of intercessory prayer on the behalf of Israel.  Reminding God, through prayer, about His promises on behalf of others can be a way for us to help when it seems like there is nothing we can do.  Not unlike today, Israel was in a desperate situation spiritually, politically, and economically. Thoughts to Journal: Who might God be calling me to intercede for?  Does someone come to mind?  Someone you know?  A leader in your life?  The leaders of our nation?  Write out a brief prayer as you intercede on their behalf.   Today’s Key Verse: Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.

Patterns of God’s Mercy: How God’s Patience for Israel Calls Us to Obedience: Reflections from Psalm 78 Psalm 78 covers 5 generations and showcases God’s mercy despite Israel’s unfaithfulness.  As we learn from our spiritual ancestors, this psalm serves as a powerful reminder of what can happen if we continually test God’s mercy. Despite Israel’s rebellion, we still see a God who cares for His people. Today’s Key Verse: They remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.

The Theology of Justice: Trusting God When He Doesn’t Act As Quickly As We Would Like: Reflections from Psalm 75 There are times in our lives where we pray for God to act quickly to deal with a situation.  If God doesn’t act quickly though, it’s easy to allow frustration to settle in.  Today we are looking at the theology of justice and how God intervenes on behalf of His people. Journaling Prompt: How does your perspective on justice change when considering God’s way of dealing with things?  Do you have any situations you need to hand over to Him?  You can trust Him with what you are holding onto.

Why? And How Long?  Two Common Questions We Ask And What Psalm 74 Has to Say About Them Israel had many seasons when they went through some really difficult situations.  God can not and will not be silent about sin forever, but it’s really hard to deal with the consequences of community sin.  Not unlike today, Psalm 74 addresses community sin and is a prayer that reminds us that God’s discipline in our lives is a result of His love for us. Journaling Prompt: Have you had moments where you were obviously dealing with God’s discipline in your life? Did those moments drive you closer or farther away from God? Today’s Key Verse: The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon. Psalm 74:16   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Wallowing in Self-Pity? Struggling With Envy?  How Psalm 73 Shows Us How to Deal With Our Envious Attitudes We have all had times in our lives where we have looked at the prosperity of others and felt like it was unjustified because of how evil they were.  Celebrity culture is a prime example.  Did you know that those problems are not new?  Psalm 73 shows us that this is a heart issue that has been around awhile. How do we deal with it when believers seem to struggle but evil people seem to have things handed to them? Today’s Key Verse: Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire beside you.

God’s Heart Revealed: How Psalm 68 Shows Us the Compassion of God and How We Should Respond Psalm 68 is sometimes called a difficult Psalm, but inside we see some of the most clear examples of what burdens God’s heart.

We serve a God who delights in caring for those that others overlook. Today’s Key Verse: A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.

When Words Are Weapons: How God Defends Us When the Enemy Attacks: Psalm 64 Words can be weapons that do some pretty bad damage in our lives. Psalm 64 reveals the way that God gets involved in our lives and defends us. We don’t have a God that sits by, watching us get attacked. Instead, we have a God who intervenes on our behalf. I pray this episode blesses you. Today’s Key Verse:   Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him! Psalm 64:10 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Rerun- Do You Ever Lie Awake in Bed At Night Worrying?  Do This Instead! Biblical Meditation- Day 3   Have you ever lost sleep worrying about what tomorrow would bring?  Scripture gives us some tools to deal with that very thing.  Let’s take a look together on today’s episode.   Family Favorites: We are re-airing some of our top podcasts from 2022 as we take a little break for the holidays.  All new episodes will start airing again on January 9.  Thank you for being a part of this community! Merry Christmas!   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Preparing Our Hearts to be in a Posture of Readiness to Hear From God   When we are pursuing God, to become more like God (His nature and character), that process is called sanctification. That process is God’s work, not our work.  Ultimately, we are powerless to change on our own. God’s nature in us is what allows us to change.  Paul mentions 35 times that righteousness is a gift from God.  Human striving doesn’t work But it doesn’t mean that we do nothing. Instead, we need to be ready, placed in a posture of being ready for God to work in our lives.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word?

Passion Will Only Get You So Far: A Call to Deeper Living   There is a faulty belief that our love or passion will get us where we need to go.  But the danger of being a person who burns brightly is that you consume fuel quicker.  You will eventually burn out unless you learn how to develop a sustainable relationship with God.  Today we talk through this and look at the example of David in the Psalms.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Everything Jesus Does is Intentional.  How Jesus Responds Reveals An Aspect of His Character   Today we look at Mary’s example in how to handle the seasons when God asks us to lay something down. Her example of faith helps us to surrender to what Jesus is calling us to lay down in our own lives.   Everything Jesus does is intentional.  He doesn’t react, He responds.   From today’s episode:   Heart Check: Is there an area of your life that you are hesitant to bring to Jesus?  Or when you do, it’s accompanied by a justification or explanation of why we are feeling the way we do? Let the Lord reveal the things in your life that you need to take to Him.   The role and responsibility given to Mary by God was also taken away by God.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today’s content is from Chapter 1- Mary- A Woman of Authority.     Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

What Does it Mean to Thirst For God? Reflections from Psalm 42   Psalm 42 starts the second of five books of the Psalms.  As we look to this Psalm, we learn about how we are created to thirst for God and how the things of this world will never satisfy us.  A powerful reminder of God’s great love for us starts us off in this new section of the Psalms.  I pray today’s episode blesses you.   Today’s Key Verse:   As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. Psalm 42:1-2a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

The Tension of Wanting Justice While Also Being Called to Forgive: How Psalm 35 Leads Us Through the Evil in This World and In Our Lives   Sometimes it can be hard to deal with the tension of both seeking justice and walking in forgiveness.  David’s heart was in the same place as he prayed to God to intervene on his behalf.  David’s example was to take those raw emotions to God and praise Him even in that place of longing for justice.  May we lean into that same place, trusting God to deal with the evil in this world.   Today’s Key Verse:   My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.  Psalm 35:28   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

God's Protection in the Midst of the Darkness: How to Respond   Psalm 18 is a response song that King David wrote after God delivered him from the hands of his enemies.  In this psalm, we can learn more about how God steps in when things seem impossible, and how our hearts can respond to that protection.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Forgiveness and Confession is More About Our Relationship With God Than Our Relationship With Other People- Hearing God in Our Hurt Feelings   When we do life together, we will hurt each other, because we are human.  Confession and forgiveness are essential in the Christian life.  Let’s dive into why that is.     Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

What Does the Bible Say About Submission? – Submission- Day 3   Today we dive into God’s heart for submission and God’s heart for us.  I know this topic can be hard, but my prayer is that we start to understand it from God’s perspective.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me.
