Have you ever wondered if you can really hear God, or if that’s only for the “super spiritual”? You’re not alone. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re missing something, today’s conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
I’m talking with Pete Greig about hearing God in real life: why it feels hard, how to know if it’s truly Him, and sorting through confusion, delusion, or even deception—without spiraling.
We dig into his book How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People. What I love—it’s practical, grounded, and hopeful. If you’ve ever whispered, “God, are You speaking to me?” this episode is for you.
