How Do I Know God is Talking to Me?

Summary

Have you ever had a thought pop into your mind and wondered, "Is that God, or is it just me?" You want to follow His direction, but perhaps you are terrified of making it up or just following your own imagination. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins licensed clinical social worker and co-founder Wendi Christensen to answer the essential question: How do I know God is talking to me?

We pull back the curtain on how the Spirit actually communicates in the messy middle of life. Wendi shares her "Diaper Wipe Miracle," proving that if God cares about a mom needing extra wipes, He cares about every mundane detail of your day. We also discuss the "Still Small Voice"—why God is rarely in the thunder and almost always in the whisper—and what to do when God asks you to do something scary, like showing up unannounced on someone's doorstep. If you are struggling with spiritual second-guessing, this episode will help you move from doubting the whisper to walking confidently in the Light.

Episode Takeaways

1. The Still Small Voice: God is rarely in the lightning or the thunder (1 Kings 19). He speaks in a still, small whisper. To hear Him, we have to cut out the noise and social media clutter to create moments of stillness.
2. The "Baby Wipe" Miracle: Wendi shares how a random thought to pack extra baby wipes saved her during a massive blowout in the car. If the thought is good and moves you forward, act on it! God cares about the mundane details of your life.
3. Scary Promptings: Sometimes God's voice asks us to step out of our comfort zone. Tamara shares how a random thought to visit an acquaintance led her to serve a mother unexpectedly placed on bed rest. When you ask, "Who can I help today?" you are signing up for active duty.
4. The Parent Lens: You don't have to be perfect at hearing God. Just like you don't fire your toddler for stumbling while learning to walk, God is patient when you miss a whisper. Hearing God is a practice, not a one-and-done event.

Reflection Questions

1. Think of a time you had a "random" positive thought to help someone. Did you act on it, or did you brush it off as your own imagination?
2. What "thunder and lightning" (e.g., social media, TV, busyness) do you need to turn off today to hear the "still small voice"?
3. Do you believe God cares about the "baby wipes" (the tiny, mundane details) of your life? How does knowing He cares about the small things change how you pray?
4. Have you ever asked the dangerous prayer: "God, who can I help today?" Are you willing to ask it tomorrow morning?
