Does God talk to YOU?

from Anchored · host Roseanne Dawes and Stephanie Francom

Personal revelation | Hearing the Holy Ghost | LDS conversion story | Recognizing spiritual promptings | Faith in Jesus Christ | God’s guidanceBill wasn’t looking for God. His life felt full, predictable, and good. But certain moments wouldn’t let him go — a quiet experience at Temple Square, a stranger placing a Book of Mormon in his hands, a feeling that stayed long after the moment passed.Nothing dramatic happened. No lightning. No instant answers. Just small impressions that kept returning.Years later, when Bill finally asked Heavenly Father what to do, the response came differently than he expected — through missionaries, scripture study, quiet promptings, and the unmistakable influence of the Holy Ghost. Piece by piece, his testimony began to grow, not through one life-changing event, but through many small moments that suddenly connected.This episode of the Anchored Podcast explores personal revelation, conversion, and how God often speaks in ways we almost miss. If you’ve ever wondered how to recognize the Spirit, how God guides us, or whether He’s already working in your life, Bill’s story will feel deeply personal.Because sometimes the question isn’t if God is talking…It’s whether we recognize His voice when He does.0:00 When You Find Truth, You Share It0:41 Meet Bill Bennett Author of Jacob T.
