Summer Sports Movie Series | Field of Dreams (Listening to the Holy Spirit)

Field of Dreams: Listening and Obeying the Holy SpiritHave you ever felt a strong prompting or a thought you just couldn't shake, but worried people would think you were crazy if you actually followed through?On this week’s episode of The UNPACKIN’ it Podcast, hosts Bryce Johnson and Trip Smith unpack the classic 1989 sports movie, Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner.They dive into the iconic story of Ray Kinsella clearing out his livelihood to build a baseball field based on a voice he couldn't ignore.While it's a classic baseball movie with a heartwarming story, it also gives us a beautiful metaphor for faith, vision, and listening to the Holy Spirit.We draw powerful parallels to our walk with God. How do we recognize God's voice? How do we test our promptings to ensure they line up with Scripture? And what happens when we finally step out in wild, courageous obedience?We also share some incredible behind-the-scenes movie trivia (including a couple of very famous Hollywood extras!) and discuss why this film still moves audiences decades later.Drop a comment below: What is a step of faith you know God is whispering for you to take right now?⚽ A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR: UPWARD SPORTSThe World Cup has been awesome!
