Hearing Jesus: Daily Affirmations, Bible Study, Christian Encouragement, Holy Bible

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.

We don't have to be called a prophet to have a prophetic voice. God's voice is the true prophetic voice. Less than 2% of prophecies speak about the Messiah. Most prophecies remind us of God's word, not predict the future. The prophetic voice often serves as a reminder of God's promises. God was in control even when it didn't seem like it. The character and nature of God remains constant. Trusting in God's plan is essential, even in uncertainty. Community engagement is vital for spiritual growth.

A Prayer for Freedom: Immersive Prayer Series: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotionals In this contemplative prayer session, Rachael Groll invites listeners to explore the themes of forgiveness, grace, and new beginnings through the lens of Jesus' teachings. The session emphasizes the importance of releasing shame and embracing the freedom that comes from being fully forgiven.
