8. You Hear God's Voice: Learning to Tune In

Do you ever wonder if you really hear God’s voice—or if it’s just your own thoughts? In this episode of Believe & Become, Josh and Corina unpack the biblical foundation for hearing from God and share practical ways to tune your heart to His Spirit. You’ll discover how God speaks through His Word, His Spirit, and even your own thoughts and feelings, and how to discern His gentle, kind, and wise voice from fear, doubt, or condemnation.
