God, Me, or Mental Illness? How to Know Who’s Really Talking

This week on Sunburnt Souls: A Christian Mental Health Podcast, Pastor Dave Quak sits down with Rev Dr Tania Harris—pastor, theologian, and founder of God Conversations—to explore the crucial skill of recognizing and responding to God’s voice when your thoughts feel chaotic.This conversation provides essential clarity for anyone who has ever asked, “Was that really you, Lord?” or wrestled with doubt. We tackle the core issues of discerning God's voice while managing mental health challenges:Why God still speaks today—and the various ways He communicates.The practical difference between hearing God and just hearing your own intrusive or anxious thoughts.How to test what you're hearing (without spiraling into crippling self-doubt).The vital role mental health plays in the conversation, and why having a condition like anxiety or bipolar disorder does not disqualify you from hearing God.Is it still safe to say "God told me..."?This episode will help you grow in confidence, clarity, and trust in your relationship with God, even when your mind feels messy.🎧 Resources from Rev Dr Tania HarrisTheologian | Pastor | Founder of God ConversationsIf you loved the episode and want to dig deeper into hearing God’s voice, check out these trusted resources from Rev Dr Tania Harris.🌐 Official Websitewww.godconversations.com This is the hub for all things Tania Harris — teachings, courses, blogs, and updates on where she’s speaking next.📘 BooksGod Conversations: Stories of How God Speaks and What Happens When He Does A powerful read that unpacks real-life stories of people hearing from God — and the impact it made. 👉 Buy it here🎓 Courses & TrainingHearinIf Sunburnt Souls has helped or blessed you in any way, can I ask a small favour?
