What does God’s voice sound like? And how do you know it’s really Him?
In this episode, Jess invites you into her own process of learning to listen and respond to God in everyday life. You’ll also hear the story of how one moment of God’s clear direction in June turned into a whirlwind season of writing that became Jess’s newest book, What Comes Next.
If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself when trying to discern God’s voice, this episode will encourage you to lean in, trust Him, and move forward with expectation.
