The Still Small Voice

Episode Summary: Your next season doesn’t need more hustle — it needs more hearing. In this quiet yet powerful solo episode, Todd Tononi teaches you how to tune out the world and tune in to the voice of God. Because the answers you’re searching for? They don’t always come in a sermon or a podcast. They come in the still small whisper — the one that only speaks when you're still enough to hear it. Featured Scriptures: 1 Kings 19:11–12 (NIV) “After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” → The clearest guidance often comes when the noise has stopped. John 10:27 (NIV) “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” → You are wired to recognize God’s voice — it’s not reserved for the “spiritual elite.” Psalm 46:10 (NIV) “Be still, and know that I am God.” → Stillness isn’t passive — it’s the posture of spiritual knowing. Luke 11:28 (NIV) “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” → Hearing is only the beginning. Obedience makes it real. James 4:8 (NIV) “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” → Proximity to God isn’t earned — it’s chosen.
