Can God Talk to You?

Summary

Have you ever looked at your mistakes or your messy life and wondered, "Am I even worthy enough for God to speak to me?" You might feel too flawed, too broken, or too distracted for the God of the universe to care about your daily struggles. This is a tender pain point for so many women. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins advisory board member Kari Anjewierden to ask the important question: Can God talk to you?

We move from the fear of "Am I enough?" to the peace of "He is here" by exploring the beautiful truth that God is an active participant in the lives of His daughters. Kari shares how, as a busy mom of six, she doesn't need a quiet mountaintop to hear God—He is perfectly happy talking to her while she's driving or doing the dishes. We also discuss Kari's "Gratitude Hack," exploring how naming three things you are grateful for is the absolute quickest way to invite the Spirit into your space. Tamara uncovers surprising insights about the "Service Hack," discussing how asking God "Who can I serve today?" acts like a spiritual fast-pass to receiving an answer. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual unworthiness or simply curious about can God talk to you, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. We also discuss the story of the woman with the issue of blood, proving that Jesus will stop in the middle of a chaotic crowd just to find you.

Episode Takeaways

• The Worthless Lie: In Romans 8, Paul asks if trials, tribulations, or mistakes can separate us from the love of God. The answer is no. Every person in the Bible was broken (except Jesus), and God still spoke to them. Your imperfections do not disqualify you from hearing His voice.
• The Carpool Sanctuary: You don't need to be on a beach or in a grove of trees to hear God. Kari shares how God meets her right where she is—usually folding laundry or driving her six kids around. God is perfectly willing to speak to you in the messy middle of your day.
• The Service Hack: If you are struggling to hear God, ask Him this specific prayer: "Who can I serve today?" God answers this prayer incredibly fast, often popping a specific name or face into your mind immediately.
• The Gratitude Hack: Kari shares that the quickest way to invite God's Spirit into your current space is to practice gratitude. By pausing to name three things you are grateful for, and having a notebook ready to record your thoughts, you signal to God that you are purposely looking for His hand and ready to listen.
• The Crowded Room: The woman with the issue of blood didn't have a formal appointment with Jesus. She reached out in the middle of a chaotic, noisy crowd. Just as Jesus stopped and found her in that crowd, He is pressing through the noise of your life to find you today.
