How to Hear God's Voice in a Distracted World with Rachael Groll

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Is this God's voice I'm hearing… or just my own overthinking?” — welcome. You’re in good company.

In today’s episode of The Tried and Truth Podcast, we sit down with Rachael Groll — author of Knowing God's Voice and host of the Hearing Jesus podcast — to talk about what it really looks like to hear God’s voice in the middle of everyday chaos, fear, and distraction. She opens up about her own journey through different seasons of life, from motherhood to global ministry, and the lessons learned about surrender, obedience, and faith.

What You'll Hear...
