All I have
There are some challenges I’ve given myself in the new year, one of which being more in the Word and less on social media. It’s all a work in progress. May 2025 find me leaning in to hear the Spirit speaking through the Word. I want to understand his whispering to me on a regular basis.

How do we discern the voice of the Lord?
I reflected HERE about the challenge of hearing the Lord calling out to us. We’re not always listening, but he is always calling. The question that needs to stay before us is this: How do we discern the voice of the Lord in our own lives?

The unfolding of the glory of the Lord doesn’t mean everyone is looking
The season of Epiphany this year has challenged me. The truth is the Lord is always wanting to speak. We are not always willing to listen. My heart is not always tuned to the frequency of his voice.

The call of prayer is to listen
Nonetheless, it is possible that, even in prayer itself, we could refuse to let ourselves be confronted by the freedom of the Spirit, who acts as he wills. We must remember that prayerful discernment must be born of a readiness to listen: to the Lord and to others, and to reality itself, which always challenges us in new ways. Only…

Journey to Troas — The Joy in the Journey
Reading for Today: Ps. 88, 91, 92 Gen. 47:1-26 1 Cor. 9:16-27 Mark 6:47-56 When we left Heights Church at the end of last year, the Lord gave me the thought of being in Troas.

This next Sunday we are in the Gospel of Mark, which has led me into the thought of, “How do we hear God?” The disciples had Jesus right there with them, and Mark is clear: they aren’t getting it. So, this Sunday I…

Hearing the Voice of God
Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. (John Greenleaf Whittier) Be still before the Lord. Wait patiently for him. (Ps. 37:7) He always ready… and willing… to speak. It is us who need to be…

The journey to hear his voice
Every once in awhile I blog on making a case for humming more. Or whistling. There’s not enough of it in our world anymore. My grandpa was a carpenter. I would watch him work and while he worked, especially when he was cutting a board, or measuring for the cut, he would whistle. As I walk through my day, I…

The Silence of God
I reflected on this passage not too long ago, but the Lord testing me on this keeps it close. I need to HEAR! 11 The days are surely coming, says the Lord God, when I will send hunger and thirst on the land; neither a hunger for bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Lord ’s words. 12 They will wander from sea to sea,…
