Ep. 92 - So You're Saved—Now What? - How Do I Hear From God?

In this episode of the It Stands Written podcast, Justin, Braden, and Elijah tackle one of the most pressing questions for new and seasoned believers alike: how does God speak to us today? The guys dig into the common ways Christians claim to hear from God — still small voices, feelings of peace, prophetic words, open and closed doors, and dramatic signs — and test each one against the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. Using memorable stories (including Justin's hilarious "Lady in Red" saga), they expose how easily our feelings, impressions, and experiences can be mistaken for divine communication. The conversation explores the critical difference between biblical description and prescription, reminding listeners that just because something happened in the Bible doesn't mean it's the normative Christian experience. They also walk through the dangers of extra-biblical revelation, showing how elevating personal impressions above Scripture undermines the Word of God and can even lead to blaming God when things go wrong. The episode wraps up with practical, encouraging advice for building consistent Bible-reading habits — because if you want to hear the voice of God, open your Bible, and if you want to hear it audibly, read it out loud.If you were encouraged by this episode or have any questions you would like to have answered, please email us at [email protected] or send us a text at the link in the description.Resources Mentioned:Strange Fire by John MacArthurDisciplines of A Godly Man by R.
