Listening for God in a Loud World

Nuggets of Wisdom

* “I am consistently breaking free from what my [spiritual] mentor calls left-brained discipleship, where I prayed all the time. But I don’t know if you could really call it prayer because I was doing all the talking. It’s been a process…to communicate with the Lord as Father, as Friend, as Savior.”

* “As long as I kept showing up, the Lord would steadily increase my ability to sense His presence and hear His voice.”

* “We often want to jump to the ‘take your hearts captive’ phrase before we process, and then it becomes a numbing tool…but it doesn’t actually get to the really deep places in your soul.

* “Sometimes the path to wholeness feels anything but peaceful.”

* “It takes a really long time to become the people that God saw when He first knit [us] together.”

* “A first step might just be noticing you’re overactivated. The next step is, ‘I’m going to calm myself when I’m activated. And then I can begin to unpack my thoughts.”

* “What are some things I can do to build capacity?”

* “If we’re looking for quick fixes, we’re going to be stuck.”
