When heaven feels quiet, most of us assume we’ve failed. We flip through the usual dials—prayer, worship, Scripture—and panic when nothing lights up. Today we invite you to a different lens: what if silence isn’t a verdict but an invitation to secure attachment, deeper honesty, and wider ways of hearing God?

We open up about our own dry seasons and why “Hearing God” doesn’t make us experts—just lifelong students. From slow, unhurried lectio divina to raw journaling that cuts past polite prayer, we share practical rhythms that re-tune attention without slipping into striving. We explore how God speaks across channels—still small voice, dreams, impressions, wise counsel, and the living Word—and why pigeonholing His voice into last season’s method can keep you stuck. You’ll hear how reframing the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “Where am I in pain, or what room have I closed?” trades shame for healing and opens fresh conversation with the Spirit.

Have you ever dismissed a dream as "just your brain processing the day" only to wonder later if there was something more to it? What if those nighttime narratives were actually divine communication—God's way of speaking to you through symbols and stories while you rest?

Dreams occupy a fascinating intersection of psychology, spirituality, and mystery. Throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, we see God consistently using dreams as a pivotal communication channel with His people. Joseph's prophetic dreams saved nations. Daniel's interpretations changed kingdoms. Even Jesus was protected through divine dream warnings. Yet many believers today remain unaware of how profoundly God might be speaking to them through their dream life.

In this episode, we explore how dreams function as "parables that happen in your sleep"—continuing Jesus' tradition of teaching through symbolic narratives. We unpack practical ways to steward your dreams through recording, reflecting, and interpreting with the help of trusted community. Rather than categorizing dreams as either "purely psychological" or "directly from God," we discuss how our dream life reflects the beautiful complexity of our relationship with God—sometimes processing our daily concerns, sometimes receiving divine guidance, and often a meaningful blend of both.

Prayer is not merely preparation for the work but is spiritual work itself. Anthony and guest Justin Allen explore how true communion with God often transcends words and religious formulas, revealing that some of the most profound encounters with God happen in wordless prayer—simply being in His presence.

They tackle how, when reduced to the transactional (always asking for things), prayer can undermine the relational aspect of communing with God and how growing in prayer requires discipline and sometimes pushing through resistance and distraction.

Correctly viewing the love of God is a profound spiritual shift that can transform how we engage with prophetic ministry. This conversation breaks open the misconception that we must perform perfectly to receive divine affection, replacing it with the liberating truth that God's love is our starting point, not our reward.

We discuss the liberating reality that is prophetic ministry in the New Testament era. Unlike Old Testament prophets who operated under a different covenant, today's prophetic community functions through the indwelling Holy Spirit with room for growth and imperfection. Prophetic words aren't just about information transfer but creating moments of divine connection where recipients encounter God's love through human vessels.

Explore what it means to be citizens of heaven while living on earth, and how this reality fundamentally shapes our approach to prophetic ministry. They unpack how heavenly citizenship grants us spiritual authority to bring heaven to earth through prophetic words and actions.

What happens when God speaks directly into your life through another person? How do these prophetic moments become weapons against darkness and doubt?

Dan shares the story of his first prophetic experience, sitting before three women who knew nothing about him yet accurately described his heart and calling. Instead of the judgment he expected, he received affirmation that God deeply knew and loved him. "I anticipated more evaluation and judgment," Dan recalls, "but what I got was 'I get you, and because I get you, I love you.'"

This conversation explores how prophetic words function as spiritual weapons. When God spoke to Dan about guarding against bitterness and pursuing writing ministry decades ago, these words became anchors during difficult seasons. As Paul told Timothy, we can "wage the good warfare" with the prophecies spoken over us.

Have you ever felt unqualified for what God is asking you to do? You're in excellent company. Throughout Scripture, we see individuals like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Peter all attempting to disqualify themselves when encountering God's call. The surprising truth is that our self-disqualification often becomes the very obstacle preventing God from working through us.

What truly gets in God's way isn't our human "clunkiness" or lack of eloquence – it's our heart posture. "Getting out of the way of God" often looks like destroying the list of reasons why we can't be used by God and letting Him work through us.

Many believers struggle with a fundamental lie that affects their relationship with God: the belief that their behavior influences God's desire to speak to them. This misconception can create a devastating cycle where we feel unworthy of hearing God's voice precisely when we need His guidance most.
