E21: COMMON WAYS WE HEAR FROM GOD

In this episode I have a special guest, Jay Perez from EXUVUS, join me as we talk about some of the common ways we hear from God that are easy to relate to but can often be overlooked. Jay and I share personal stories to illustrate how God speaks to us through repeated themes, Scripture, and physical sensations like goosebumps. Jay talks about how faith can be like a spiritual muscle and it takes practice to recognize God’s messages in our lives. I also recommend you check out the EXUVUS podcast episode “43. How to hear from God ft. Sarah Holcomb” to hear more of my personal backstory.
