Weekly Roundup 2--Hearing From God/Prayer
Here’s your weekly roundup of podcasts--and an app--to help you as you develop your ability to hear from God and grow in the spiritual discipline of prayer.
John and Lisa Bevere on Prayer
You guys! If you’ve ever struggled with prayer or felt guilty about not praying enough, this podcast will change your life! Listen to it and thank me later ;)
Their entire spiritual disciplines series (which this podcast is the first of) is wonderful if you have the time to listen.
2. Rick Warren on Hearing the Voice of God

*I recommend beginning at 24:00, and the final 10 minutes is a really practical guide on testing if an idea/thought is from God (it begins at 37:00)
3. Jill Briscoe on Prayer on the Made for This Podcast

4. The YouVersion Bible App
I, of course, recommend reading the Bible to hear from God. The free YouVersion Bible App for your phone makes it super easy to engage with the Bible on a daily basis. So if you haven’t downloaded it to your phone yet…what are you waiting for?! And while you’re at it, check out the “Living Changed: Lectio Divina” plan for a practical and mindful way to engage with Scripture. I’m really loving it right now, and plan to implement the strategy it teaches more in my Bible reading.
And as always, if you haven’t had a chance to read this blog post on the topic, you can find that here.
Love and blessings friends!
