About
Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast. Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I too was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I too felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open. Join me for your weekly dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

Roots: Real and Raw With Rachael: Is it Conviction or Condemnation

In this month's series, ROOTS, Rachael is airing some older episodes that many listeners may have missed.

Even if you have heard some of these episodes, the messages they contain are sure to bless you as they serve as a reminder of how much God loves you. The enemy's voice of condemnation can sometimes cloud our thoughts. How can we tell the difference between the enemy's lies and when God actually speaks to us?

Stand firm in your convictions and set boundaries when faced with family disapproval of your choices based on biblical principles.

I'm sure you've been part of or heard some of those conversations yourself, but what we see here is that this is a topic that was debated even in Jesus' time. The Pharisees during the time of Jesus had this as a topic of confusion because it was really two schools of thought. Let’s study the Scripture together and learn what Jesus had to say about divorce and how we can apply that teaching to our lives today. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

431// Childish vs. Childlike Faith: What's The Difference? Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 18:1-20 In order for Christ to transform us from the inside out and to transform our character, our attitude towards him has to be like a child.

Jesus Draws Us Out of Deep Waters: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 14:22-36

425// Jesus Draws Us Out of Deep Waters: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 14:22-36 As Jesus was preparing Peter for leadership, one of the ways He did that was by calling Him to step out of the boat. As Peter took those first steps, He was focused on Jesus and was able to do what God was calling Him to do. It wasn’t until he allowed the circumstances of what was going on around him to distract him, that he started to sink. In that moment, Jesus stepped in to rescue him. As we think through our own lives, we can see how Jesus never lets us go, even as He calls us to get out of the boat.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

When You’re Not Accepted: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:44-58

421// When You’re Not Accepted:  Devotional, Bible Study,  Matthew 13:44-58 In Jesus’ day, treasured possessions would often be buried for safekeeping. So his hearers would have instantly connected with the story of a man finding a buried treasure in a field. In this parable, Jesus uses buried treasure imagery to stir his listeners to see how the Kingdom of God is worth sacrificing whatever is necessary - because it is a treasure far greater than anything on earth. In today’s study, we’ll see how this teaching and others stirred up both amazement and skepticism - and for Jesus, this meant not being accepted everywhere he went.

417// The Parable of The Sower: What It Means: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 13:1-23 The Kingdom of God was unexpected and different from anything the disciples of the people of Jesus’ day had been expecting, and so Jesus often used parables to try to help them understand exactly what the kingdom and God were like and to confront his opponents. We can learn a lot from studying the parables, not only about the kingdom of God but about healthy boundaries and who and how Jesus offered revelation. The parable of the sower shows us that it is our responsibility to cast the seed, but bearing fruit is ultimately up to God. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

So over time the Sabbath became one of the most recognizable characteristics of the Jewish people. That, along with things like their dietary laws, set them apart as a culture. So in this chapter of Matthew, Jesus tackles the topic of the Sabbath and how to correctly interpret the Sabbath as He explains the heart of the Sabbath principle.

411// Do Not Fear Persecution: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:24-42

411// Do Not Fear Persecution: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 10:24-42 Sometimes, when we are sharing the gospel, there are going to be people who are not receptive to the gospel message. In fact, not only are they not receptive, they're going to hate us because of it. What do you do with that kind of persecution? If it makes you afraid, you’re not alone. The disciples were probably afraid too. That’s why Jesus tells them specifically not to be afraid of what man or even the enemy can do to us. If God sends us out, he’s going to protect and equip us along the way. Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

402// How Sickness and Sin Are Connected - And How They Are Not: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 9:1-8   In the Jewish culture of Jesus’ day, there was a connection between sin and sickness. They saw it as basically the same thing. But throughout his ministry, Jesus delineates between the two. In today’s bible study on Matthew 9, we’ll talk about when sickness and sin are related, and when they are not. In this chapter, we learn that Jesus is concerned not just with healing sickness but ultimately, healing sin. And he makes one of his most radical claims yet - that he has the authority to forgive sins.    Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

401// Why Would Jesus Drown 2000 Pigs? A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 8:28-34   This Bible story has a lot in it that can confuse or even agitate us. First, we have to grapple with demonic possession and what that was like in Jesus’ day. Then, we have to grapple with the fact that Jesus drove the demons into a large herd of pigs, causing them to rush into the water and drown. Why would Jesus allow this to happen? We’ll be looking at the historical context for this story to gain clarity, and thus be able to interpret and apply this story correctly to our lives.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

We would want to avoid being out in a storm like that at all costs. Now imagine being in the middle of a body of water, on a small boat, in the middle of a hurricane, and I’m sure you can start to imagine just how terrified the disciples were, and how perplexed they would have been that Jesus was asleep through it.

399// The Cost of Following Jesus: A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 8:14-22   As we make our way through the gospel of Matthew, we read about Jesus healing Peter’s mother after she has suffered through an illness. What she does after she is healed ought to be a blueprint for our own actions after we experience healing. After that, we read of men who came to Jesus ready to follow him, but Jesus’ reply shows us just what it costs to follow Jesus. Today’s bible study helps us see that the cost of following Jesus isn’t immediate or monetary, but there is a cost that every disciple of God will feel.   Calling all kids (and parents of kids)!

398// Are You Going Through A Transition In Your Life? How To Embrace Moments of Change

Life is about transitions, it’s part of the human experience.  How do we embrace those moments instead of longing for the next stage?  Today I invited my friend Nicki Koziarz on the show to talk about those transitions and her new book, Your New Now.  Nicki walks us through the life of Moses, as an example to us when we are living in a place of transition.  I pray this episode blesses you!   Nicki Koziarz is an ECPA bestselling author and a speaker with Proverbs 31 Ministries. She speaks nationally at conferences, retreats, and meetings and hosts her own podcast, Lessons from the Farm. An evangelist at heart, Nicki inspires others to become the best version of who God created them to be. Nicki, her husband, and their family run a small farm just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, which they affectionately call The Fixer Upper Farm. Learn more at nickikoziarz.com. Your New Now is available at Nicki’s website, or wherever books are sold.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His. The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.  Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.  Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study : https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

We’ll also discuss the kind of people Jesus went looking for to make disciples, and how surprising his choices were to the people of that day.

390// Going Beyond Words: How The Heart of Authentic Prayer Leads to Intimacy With God

Intimacy with God starts with prayer. Today we take a look at the way Jesus taught us to pray, as well as the ways He taught us NOT to pray.

377/ Beyond the List: The Geneology of Matthew 1:1-17

In today’s episode, Rachael focuses on the often-overlooked genealogy found in the beginning of Matthew.  In a culture where lineage was synonymous with identity, Matthew's genealogy is a treasure trove of symbolism, revealing essential truths about Jesus' heritage and mission. In this episode, we learn how Matthew strategically crafts his genealogy as a bridge connecting the messianic promises to their fulfillment in Jesus. This was pivotal for the Jewish audience, signifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah who would restore Israel.   This episode encourages listeners to reconsider the significance of this genealogy, urging them not to miss the nuances that point to God's restoration plan. Just as God worked through broken lives in the past, He continues to use imperfect people for His perfect plan.    This episode is a companion to Episode 4 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll   Learn: https://shehears.org   Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

375// Exploring the Genre of a Gospel: An Introduction to the Gospels Series

In this episode of the Hearing Jesus podcast, host Rachael Groll delves into the concept of the gospel and the reason for having four gospels in the Bible. The gospel is a genre of writing, specifically biographies about the life of Jesus, and it is found at the beginning of the New Testament. Rachael explains that the gospels were not necessarily written in chronological order, and each gospel writer had a unique perspective and audience in mind. Rachael addresses common questions about reading the gospels, including the differences in sequence and wording among the accounts. She highlights the literary techniques used by ancient writers, such as rearranging sources for emphasis. The gospels were primarily meant to be heard, not read, as public readings spread the message to wider audiences. As modern readers, Rachael encourages us to engage with the gospels by understanding the cultural context, considering the morals of the stories, and applying the teachings to our lives. She concludes with a prayer for listeners, inviting them to explore the treasure of God's word and seek a fresh understanding of the gospel message. The Hearing Jesus podcast offers valuable insights into understanding the gospels and deepening one's connection with Jesus. Join Rachael as she leads listeners through an in-depth study of the gospels, providing rich context and practical applications for today's audience. Learn to approach the scriptures with fresh ears and an open heart, discovering the beauty and significance of the gospel message.   This episode is a companion to Episode 2 of the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast: Hearing Jesus for Kids   For family discussion guides, journaling worksheets, bonus content, and our private discussion forum, please visit our Patreon page:  patreon.com/HearingJesus   FREE APP: Daily Bible Inspirations: https://onelink.to/groll   Learn: https://shehears.org   Shop: https://shehears.org/resources   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.

Jesus Sees You in the Multitude, and He Wants You To See Him, Too

Jesus Sees You in the Multitude, and He Wants You To See Him, Too   There are aspects of God’s character and nature that are revealed to us when we serve on the mission field.  Today I share one aspect that God revealed to me last week when I was serving in the Dominican Republic.  I pray this episode blesses you.     The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom.

Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Finding Hope and Healing After Your Marriage Ends: Special Guest Brandi Wilson

Finding Hope and Healing After Your Marriage Ends: Special Guest Brandi Wilson   Some seasons of life seem more difficult than one human should have to bear. For Brandi Wilson that season was 2016, the year her husband – a megachurch pastor – walked away from the church and their family. As her 20-year marriage dissolved, Brandi also lost her church community, her dreams for the future, and a huge part of her identity. She and her three boys began a new journey marked by deep grief and suffering – but also hope, freedom, boldness, and peace. Today Brandi thanks God for the redemptive healing in her life and reassures other newly single women that they are not alone. Divorce is not the end of the story.   Join me in today’s episode as I talk with Brandi about how women can find Hope and Healing after their marriage ends.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Summer Bible Study: A Woman of Forgiveness- Part 2

Summer Bible Study: A Woman of Forgiveness- Part 2  (Continued from yesterday) The thing about sin is that very few of us start out with the intention to sin.  We kind of just end up there.  When we feel powerless to overcome that struggle in our lives, that’s where Jesus steps in to meet us with a balance of truth and grace. Apart from Him, we can do nothing.  It’s time we stop trying to deal with the stain of sin on our own.  We have all been there, and we will be there again.  The reality is we are all guilty.  That’s why we need Jesus.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Summer Bible Study: Mary, Mother of Jesus, A Woman of Authority- Part 1

Summer Bible Study: Mary, Mother of Jesus, A Woman of Authority- Part 1   Today we look at some of the principles and methods that we used in this first week of the She Hears devotional content.    How we approach the Scriptures matters.  Understanding what we read is more important than the amount we read.  When we take the time to read with intention and understand the scriptures, it can be life-changing.   Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be. Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Summer Bible Study: Everything Jesus does is intentional- A Devotional Look at Mary, Mother of Jesus   Today we look at Mary’s example of how to handle the seasons when God asks us to lay something down.  Her example of faith helps us to surrender to what Jesus is calling us to lay down in our own lives.   Everything Jesus does is intentional.  He doesn’t react, He responds.   From today’s episode:   Heart Check: Is there an area of your life that you are hesitant to bring to Jesus?  Or when you do, it’s accompanied by a justification or explanation of why you are feeling the way you do? Let the Lord reveal the things in your life that you need to take to Him.   The role and responsibility given to Mary by God was also taken away by God.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today’s content is from Chapter 1- Mary- A Woman of Authority.   Mary had authority because God gave her authority.  Authority is a gift from God.   Purchase the Bible Study- She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus: https://shehears.org/resources In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew.

A Grand Finale of Celebration and Praise: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 150

A Grand Finale of Celebration and Praise: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 150   In today’s final episode of our Psalms series, we are celebrating Psalm 150 as a kind of grand finale of the Book of Psalms: it's all about praising and celebrating. Singing…. Dancing… Instruments… everyone and everything is called to praise the Lord.  As we finish up this series, I pray that the message of the Psalms stays with you, and that you remember how incredibly much you are loved. Thoughts to Journal: How does the call to praise in Psalm 150 inspire you to deepen your connection with God? Are there specific aspects of your faith that you would like to focus on and celebrate more intentionally? In what ways do you currently express your gratitude and appreciation for the blessings in your life? Are there new ways you can incorporate acts of praise and thanksgiving into your daily life?

Raw and Honest Prayers: How King David's Example Can Transform Your Prayer Life: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 143   Psalm 143 portrays King David in a state of emotional distress - feeling low, anxious, and likely struggling to sleep as he turns to God in prayer. He acknowledges his desperation and realizes that his only hope is in God's intervention. Have you experienced a similar situation? I certainly have. I find David's example of being honest and genuine with God in our prayers inspiring. This passage reminds us that it's okay to express our deepest emotions to God and seek His help in times of need. I hope this episode brings you encouragement, particularly when you find yourself in a similar circumstance. Thoughts to Journal: Think about a time in your life when you felt overwhelmed, anxious, or low, just like King David in Psalm 143. How did you handle those emotions? Did you turn to God in prayer or try to manage them on your own? Reflect on what you learned from that experience and how you can apply David's example of being real and honest with God in your prayer life. Write down a prayer to God, expressing your raw emotions and seeking His help in any current struggles or challenges you may be facing.

Thoughts to Journal: Think of a difficult situation you're currently facing or have faced in the past. How did you feel during that time? What actions did you take to overcome it? Now, imagine how David felt while he was hiding in a cave and how he found the courage to trust in God. How can you apply David's unwavering faith to your own situation? Today’s Key Verse: I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. Psalm 142:1-2 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Honoring God with Our Words: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 141   Hey there, welcome to the Hearing Jesus podcast! In today's episode, we're going to dive into Psalm 141 and explore David's prayer to God about his words. We'll talk about how this prayer can help us yield our hearts and minds to the Lord, especially in difficult situations where our mouths can get the best of us. David's example reminds us to ask for God's guidance and control over our mouths and hearts, so we can respond in ways that honor Him. So, if you're looking for inspiration and guidance on how to pray and surrender your words to God, this episode is for you. I pray this episode blesses you! Thoughts to Journal: How has your mouth responded in the past when you have been faced with a similar experience to David?  When you think about this in terms of your mouth being a reflection of what’s in your heart, what thoughts do you have?  Do you need to surrender your words to the Lord?  Spend some time in prayer today, asking God to help you the next time you are in this kind of situation. Today’s Key Verse: Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

There is Only One Hero in the Bible : Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 140

There is Only One Hero in the Bible : Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 140   Today’s passage looks at the behavior of David, in a situation that is pretty similar to what each of us have gone through.  Yet there are some aspects that we should recognize as part of his humanity, and not necessarily something we should emulate.  Instead, we should look to Jesus, how He responded, as our model.  As we compare the two today, I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: In the past, have you looked to the human character in the Bible as the heroes?  How does your perspective shift when you realize that they aren’t the ones that are the hero?  Allow yourself some time today to process that, as you start to look for God’s character and nature to be the model we chase after. Today’s Key Verse: I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor. Psalm 140:12 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?

God’s Loving Thoughts of You Outnumber the Grains of Sand: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 139   Friend, we are discussing some powerful truths today.  God knows you intimately, and there is nowhere you can go to escape that love.  When we allow those truths to sink in, it will change things for us.  I pray that as we study today’s Psalm, you recognize how incredibly much you are loved.

The Faithfulness of God is Everlasting: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 138

The Faithfulness of God is Everlasting: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 138   Today is the first of eight psalms written by David.  David’s prayer of thankfulness and praise also includes his desire to see the name of Yahweh praised in the surrounding nations. Eventually, the spread of the gospel would reach outside of Israel after Jesus came.  As we unpack this psalm, may it encourage you to pray for those that do not yet know Him. Thoughts to Journal: In the midst of trouble, we see David praising God for His faithfulness.  When you think of God’s name, do you also think about his character?  His behavior?  His reputation?  How can those things encourage you when you are going through trouble?  Spend some time today reminding yourself of these things so you can refer to them in difficult seasons. Today’s Key Verse: On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life.

Yearning for God’s Presence: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 137

Yearning for God’s Presence: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 137   As we study today the worship leaders of Israel, and the longing they experienced while in captivity, it reminds us of the yearning we sometimes feel as we live in the space of the “already but not yet.”  We are already one with Christ, but not yet fully restored, and we won’t be this side of heaven.  It is a normal human emotion to sometimes wrestle with that yearning.  I pray that as we unpack today’s psalm, it helps you settle into a place of thankfulness for the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Thoughts to Journal: Do you ever long for heaven?  For the complete restoration of our lives, our bodies, and our world?  If we are honest, it sometimes is hard not to yearn for that when we look at the world around us.  Spend some time today thanking God for the gift of the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to be a light in this dark world as we wait for Christ’s return. Today’s Key Verse: May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you Psalm 137:6a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there.

Feeling Stuck in Your Prayer Life?  Using Psalm 136 as a Model to Get Unstuck: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 136   Today we take a look at the redemptive thread woven throughout Israel’s history through the eyes of the psalmist.  This passage can be a model for us when we feel stuck in prayer, as we praise God for the way He has worked in our own lives.  We can also look forward to the redemptive work Jesus accomplished on the cross.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Do you sometimes get stuck in your prayer life?  Try to take the patterns we see in Psalm 136 as a model for your own prayer life to get you started.  Remember that it’s not a formula, but an idea to get you started.  The goal of prayer is relationship.  Write out your response to Him, He longs to spend time with you, friend! Today’s Key Verse: Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:26   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Praising God for His Goodness and His Greatness: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 135

Praising God for His Goodness and His Greatness: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 135   Praising God has more to do with who He is than what He may be doing in our lives.  We know God’s character and nature does not change, so we can also praise Him for who He will be in the future. Today we see that example in Psalm 135. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you simply praised God for who He is?  For His goodness and greatness, not in response to a current situation?  While it is important to praise Him for what He has done and what He is currently doing, it’s also important to praise Him for who we know Him to be.  Take some time to write out a prayer of praise to Him today. Today’s Key Verse: Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Psalm 135:1 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Encouraging Our Spiritual Leaders: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 133 and Psalm 134

Encouraging Our Spiritual Leaders: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 133 and Psalm 134   Today we again combine two shorter Psalms that both talk about the ways we can encourage our spiritual leaders.  We also discuss unity and how important that is for the body of Christ.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you spoke a word of encouragement or appreciation to someone that is a spiritual leader in your life? What can you do this week to reach out to that person to let them know you value them? Spend some time praying for them today and name something specific you can do to encourage them. Today’s Key Verse: May the Lord bless you from Zion,  He who is the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 134:3   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

Restoration Is A Process: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 125 and 126   Today we focus on both Psalm 125 and 126 together because they give us a powerful picture of the restorative work that God can do after a difficult season.  While we won’t be fully restored until we get to heaven, there can be such joy in knowing that God can work in the places of our lives that the enemy tried to steal.  I pray this episode blesses you! Thoughts to Journal: Are there any areas of your life that are needing restoration?  Does it sometimes feel difficult to have joy about incomplete restoration?  Take some time today to praise God for the ways He restores and redeems, even if you are not seeing that yet in a particular area of your life.  We can have confidence that God will restore, even if we can’t see it yet.

Humble Surrender to God In the Same Way of Jesus: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 123

Humble Surrender to God In the Same Way of Jesus: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 123   Psalm 123 showcases a humble posture before God as the psalmist asks God to intervene and help.  In the New Testament, we see Jesus display His humility as He serves people and serves God.  Today’s devotional helps us recognize this aspect of humility as we surrender to God, even when we don’t understand. Thoughts to Journal: What are some ways you resist surrendering fully to God?  How does the example of humility we see in this psalm, as well as the example of Jesus impact your heart today?  Are there situations or emotions that you are resisting handing over?  Why do you think that is?  Spend some time allowing the Lord to work in your heart in this area today. Today’s Key Verse: To You I have raised my eyes, You who are enthroned in the heavens! Psalm 123:1   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Praying for Peace: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 122

Praying Peace for Jerusalem and Our World Leaders: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 122   We know that Jerusalem was the Holy place in the Old Testament where God revealed Himself to His people. However, Jesus talks about the body of Christ, believers, as the New Jerusalem.  Because of the Holy Spirit, God’s presence is no longer bound to just one location.  It’s important to remember that as we pray for our leaders in both Jerusalem and our own countries. Thoughts to Journal: Spend some time meditating on the fact that holiness is not bound to a specific location.  Instead, if you are a believer, the Holy Spirit is in you, and He makes His presence available to you, no matter where you are.  What does that practically mean for you as you live your daily life?  Spend some time reflecting on that today. Today’s Key Verse: For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.” Psalm 122:8 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word?

God’s Law Reveals His Character: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 119

God’s Law Reveals His Character: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 119   Today’s Psalm is the longest Psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible.  We see how intentional the psalmist was to carefully plan out each stanza.  It reveals to us the reason why we need Jesus.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: As you think about how much the Psalmist valued the law in his life, think about the law in your own life.  Have there been times that you have felt overwhelmed or intimidated by how much it seems like there is we need to do?  Or not do?  How does the realization that Jesus is the only one who was able to follow the law impact you?  Do you see the connection as to why we need a relationship with Jesus?  Spend some time reflecting on all of this today.

God’s Love Endures Forever: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 117 and Psalm 118

God’s Love Endures Forever: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 117 and Psalm 118   Today we are walking through both Psalm 117 and Psalm 118.  Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible, and it accompanies Psalm 118 so well.  In Psalm 118, we see a foreshadowing of Jesus as the stone that was rejected becomes the capstone.  Jesus quotes Psalm 118 in several places in the New Testament, so it’s important we learn what it says. I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: Think through the concept of the stone the builder’s rejected.  Do you recognize how the Resurrection of Jesus has become the capstone?  What does that practically mean in your own life?  Is He your foundation stone?  Spend some time in prayer today, praising Him for the way He has intervened in your own life. Today’s Key Verse: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 118:29   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

He is Our Help and Shield: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 115   When we see repetition in the Scriptures, it should cause us to take notice.  Repetition means God wants us to pay attention.  Today the phrase, “He is our help and shield,” is repeated for us in a way that calls us to praise Him in all things.  I pray this episode is a blessing to you.   Thoughts to Journal: Think through what it means for God to be your help and shield.  How can you actively remember that in both good times and bad?  What are some practical ways you can put active remembrance into practice in your life?  List some ideas out. Today’s Key Verse: May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 115: 14-15 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

The Godly Male Counterpart to the Proverbs 31 Woman: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 112

The Godly Male Counterpart to the Proverbs 31 Woman: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 112   Many of us have heard of and studied the godly woman in Proverbs 31, but did you know there is a male counterpart to that passage?  It’s found in Psalm 112.  While many of the characteristics apply to both men and women, the ancients who heard this passage would have heard it as an example of what it meant to be a Godly man.  Today’s episode is so interesting, I pray it blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: If you are honest, does fear occupy more of your thoughts than it should?  If the fear of God doesn’t leave room for fear of the world, what does that mean for your fears?  The key is your relationship with God.  If that relationship is not where it should be, spend some time in prayer, talking to God about that today. Today’s Key Verse: Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous. Psalm 112:4   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Four Reasons You May Be Experiencing Chaos in Your Life and What You Can Do About It: Reflections From Psalm 107

Four Reasons You May Be Experiencing Chaos in Your Life and What You Can Do About It:  Reflections From Psalm 107 Regardless of the reasons we may find ourselves there, chaos can happen in our lives.  If you find yourself there, today’s episode will encourage you.  Together we look at four reasons you may be experiencing chaos in your life and what you can do about it. Thoughts to Journal: In times of chaos, what is your response?  Have there been times you have been reluctant to call out to God?  Why do you think that is?  Are you resisting that now?  Allow Him into that space so He can transform your chaos into calm. Today’s Key Verse: Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distress. Psalm 107:28   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

God’s Plan is Better Than Our Plan: How God Shows Us His Faithfulness in Psalm 106

God’s Plan is Better Than Our Plan: How God Shows Us His Faithfulness in Psalm 106 So many of us tend to choose our own way in life instead of God’s way. While He may allow us to follow our own path, we have to realize there are consequences for the choices we make.  Today we look at the example of Israel’s choices in Psalm 106, and how God remains faithful because of His great love. Thoughts to Journal: In what ways have you turned away from God’s plan for your life?  Have there been things you know He has called you to do that you exchanged for your own plan?  How is He calling you back to Himself today? Today’s Key Verse: But He took note of their distress when He heard their cry; for their sake He remembered His Covenant and out of His great love He relented.

Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll     Need to chat one on one?

God Made Us and We Are His: How Psalm 100 Sums Up the Gospel Message to Give Us Joy The beauty of the salvation message is that God makes it available for all people for all time.  Today we look at Psalm 100 and the beautiful salvation message that produces in us hope and joy.  I pray this episode blesses you.

Listening in Prayer: How Psalm 99 Showcases God’s Answers to Prayer When We Take the Time to Listen

Listening in Prayer: How Psalm 99 Showcases God’s Answers to Prayer When We Take the Time to Listen Sometimes we are quick to pray but slow to listen.

Thoughts to Journal: When you pray, do you take the time to actually listen?

Loving What God Loves and Hating What God Hates: Reflections from Psalm 97

Loving What God Loves and Hating What God Hates: Reflections from Psalm 97 Growing in our relationship with the Lord allows God’s glory to shine in our lives.  When that light is present, it exposes the sin of the world around us and sometimes even in our own lives.  Today we talk about that concept and what it looks like to love what God loves and hate what God hates. Thoughts to Journal: Are there things in your life that God hates but you hesitate to deal with them?  Maybe it’s sin in your own life.  Maybe it’s tolerating the sin of others when you know you should speak out.  Spend some time today thinking about what it practically means to love what God loves and hate what God hates and list some of those things out. Today’s Key Verse: Let those that love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Why You May Not Be Hearing God’s Voice: Reflections from Psalm 95

Why You May Not Be Hearing God’s Voice: Reflections from Psalm 95 In today’s psalm, we are reminded of the generation of people that wandered around in the wilderness.  Their disobedience teaches us something powerful if we pay attention.  I pray this episode gives you clarity as you learn to hear God’s voice more clearly.

Seeing God’s Discipline as His Love for Us: Reflections from Psalm 94

Seeing God’s Discipline as His Love for Us: Reflections from Psalm 94 There are two sides to God’s sovereignty, His discipline and His blessing. Sometimes we forget in moments of discipline or judgement, that He is operating in love for us.  Today we unpack that concept a little bit and think through what that means in our lives.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How do you respond when God disciplines you or convicts you in your life?  Does thinking of God as a father help you process those times?

How Hard Times in Our Lives Lead Us to Praise God : Reflections from Psalm 92

How Hard Times in Our Lives Lead Us to Praise God : Reflections from Psalm 92 Praise comes from an overflow of our hearts as a result of God’s work in our lives.  Today we look at Psalm 92 and the idea of how praise and thanksgiving go hand in hand.  How do we praise God when things in our life are hard?  It’s the hard times that produce praise in us because they are opportunities for God to show Himself faithful in our lives.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: What can you praise God for today?  Try to come up with a list of at least ten things and write them down.  Perhaps consider repeating this practice every day, until it becomes habit to praise God in all things. Today’s Key Verse: But you, O Lord, are exalted forever. Psalm 92:8   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

When Darkness Feels Like a Friend: Reflections from Psalm 88

When Darkness Feels Like a Friend: Reflections from Psalm 88 Sometimes life can get us to a place where thoughts of depression, anxiety, and even suicide can make us feel like darkness may be our only friend.  The enemy would have you believe that, and we see in the psalms that even the psalmists struggled with similar emotions.  As we learn to lean into what we know instead of what we feel, we can have hope in the God who saves.  I pray this episode blesses you.

Why Being Afraid Doesn’t Disqualify Your Faith: How Psalm 86 Shows Us How Faith and Fear Work Together

Why Being Afraid Doesn’t Disqualify Your Faith: How Psalm 86 Shows Us How Faith and Fear Can Work Together It is a natural human emotion to have fear.  And while I certainly believe fear is not from God, we will all have to deal with fear this side of heaven.  Today we are looking at the example of King David when he too was facing something difficult and the way he allowed his faith to speak louder than his fear.  I pray this episode blesses you!

Our Enemies are Also God’s Enemies: Reflections from Psalm 83

Our Enemies are Also God’s Enemies: Reflections from Psalm 83 One of the truths of Scripture that has changed things for me is the understanding that as God’s child, my enemies are His enemies.  We see in Psalm 83 how the enemies of Israel are the enemies of God.  What we see is a powerful way to pray when we are up against something bigger than ourselves.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: How does it feel to think about our enemies being God’s enemies?  How does that change your perspective, spiritually, about the ways the enemy has kept you bound in the past?  Spend some time in prayer as you process this today. Today’s Key Verse: Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

How Our Attitude Towards Justice Reflects Our Faithfulness to God: Reflections from Psalm 82

How Our Attitude Towards Justice Reflects Our Faithfulness to God: Reflections from Psalm 82 Speaking up on behalf of the weak and the needy is a theme we see throughout the Scriptures. Justice is something that God takes seriously, and as believers, we have a responsibility to take it seriously as well.  Caring for what God cares about is a measure of our faithfulness to God.  I pray this helps you understand God’s heart for the “least of these.” Thoughts to Journal: In what ways have you neglected this area of speaking up for those that cannot speak for themselves?  How does your perspective change when you recognize how seriously God takes this issue?  What can you do this week to step into the calling God has for us in the area of justice? Today’s Key Verse: Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Do You Listen Obediently to God? How Our Disobedience Harms Our Relationship With God: Reflections from Psalm 81

Do You Listen Obediently to God? How Our Disobedience Harms Our Relationship With God: Reflections from Psalm 81 What does it mean to obediently listen?  In Psalm 81 we see God’s call to listen to Him because He desires to bless.  Over and over we see God’s heart is for reconciliation and relationship. As we study Psalm 81, we can learn from Israel’s example to listen to the one who loves us most. Thoughts to Journal: Do you ever struggle to be obedient to God when He calls you to do something?  Sometimes we hear Him but don’t want to actually be obedient to Him.  When we realize that the call to obedience is more about our relationship with Him than anything else, it can change our perspective.  Allow yourself some time to reflect and journal your honest thoughts. Today’s Key Verse: If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hands against their foes. Psalm 81:13-14   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Is Life Hard Right Now? A Prayer from Psalm 80 for When We Feel Like We are Hitting Rock Bottom

Is Life Hard Right Now? A Prayer from Psalm 80 for When We Feel Like We are Hitting Rock Bottom There is an old cliché that talks about finally looking up at God once we hit rock bottom.  But God’s heart is that you wouldn’t wait so long and that you would turn to Him for help because that’s truly the only way we will get through those hard seasons.  Psalm 80 shows us how to pray when life is hard.  I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have there been times in your life when everything seems to be just going wrong?  Do you invite God into those moments?  If not, why do you think that is?

Interceding in Prayer On the Behalf of Others: Reflections from Psalm 79

Interceding in Prayer On the Behalf of Others: Reflections from Psalm 79 Psalm 79 shows us a powerful example of intercessory prayer on the behalf of Israel.  Reminding God, through prayer, about His promises on behalf of others can be a way for us to help when it seems like there is nothing we can do.  Not unlike today, Israel was in a desperate situation spiritually, politically, and economically. Thoughts to Journal: Who might God be calling me to intercede for?  Does someone come to mind?  Someone you know?  A leader in your life?  The leaders of our nation?  Write out a brief prayer as you intercede on their behalf.   Today’s Key Verse: Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake.

Patterns of God’s Mercy: Reflections from Psalm 78

Patterns of God’s Mercy: How God’s Patience for Israel Calls Us to Obedience: Reflections from Psalm 78 Psalm 78 covers 5 generations and showcases God’s mercy despite Israel’s unfaithfulness.  As we learn from our spiritual ancestors, this psalm serves as a powerful reminder of what can happen if we continually test God’s mercy.

The Theology of Justice: Trusting God When He Doesn’t Act As Quickly As We Would Like: Reflections from Psalm 75 There are times in our lives where we pray for God to act quickly to deal with a situation.  If God doesn’t act quickly though, it’s easy to allow frustration to settle in.  Today we are looking at the theology of justice and how God intervenes on behalf of His people. Journaling Prompt: How does your perspective on justice change when considering God’s way of dealing with things?  Do you have any situations you need to hand over to Him?  You can trust Him with what you are holding onto. Today’s Key Verse: But it is God who judges; He brings one down, He exalts another. Psalm 75:7   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Need to chat one on one?

Why? And How Long?  Two Common Questions We Ask And What Psalm 74 Has to Say About Them Israel had many seasons when they went through some really difficult situations.  God can not and will not be silent about sin forever, but it’s really hard to deal with the consequences of community sin.  Not unlike today, Psalm 74 addresses community sin and is a prayer that reminds us that God’s discipline in our lives is a result of His love for us. Journaling Prompt: Have you had moments where you were obviously dealing with God’s discipline in your life? Did those moments drive you closer or farther away from God? Today’s Key Verse: The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.

When Others Don’t Understand Your Zeal: Reflections from Psalm 69 Sometimes people will not understand our passion and zeal for God.  Sometimes it will even be people that “should” get it.  It’s ok.  Keep going.  Keep growing.  Keep following God’s path for your life.  As much as it may anger or insult us, it’s not lost on God and He will deal with it in His timing.  We have to take our eyes off of them and focus back on Him.

God’s Heart Revealed: How Psalm 68 Shows Us the Compassion of God and How We Should Respond

God’s Heart Revealed: How Psalm 68 Shows Us the Compassion of God and How We Should Respond Psalm 68 is sometimes called a difficult Psalm, but inside we see some of the most clear examples of what burdens God’s heart. As we study this Psalm today, my prayer is that you will recognize your own calling to care about the things God cares about: the marginalized of society, the widows, the orphan, the prisoners. We serve a God who delights in caring for those that others overlook. Today’s Key Verse: A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.

Come and Listen: How Psalm 66 Shows Us How to Share Our Faith

Sharing Our Faith With Others: How Psalm 66 Shows Us How to Share Our Faith Evangelism does not have to be complicated.  In fact, it can be as simple as just telling others what God is doing in our lives.  Don't allow intimidation or fear keep you from sharing your faith with those around you.  God can work in and through your story to draw others to a relationship with Him.   Today’s Key Verse: Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! Psalm 66:5 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Where We Have Been: How God Has Used the Hearing Jesus Podcast in 2022   This time of year, most of us naturally have a reflective heart as we look over what God did in the past year.  Today we are doing that very thing on the podcast as we look back to where we were, and how much God has done this year.  Thank you for being a part of that!   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Need to chat one on one?

In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.     Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Preparing Our Hearts to be in a Posture of Readiness to Hear From God

Preparing Our Hearts to be in a Posture of Readiness to Hear From God   When we are pursuing God, to become more like God (His nature and character), that process is called sanctification. That process is God’s work, not our work.  Ultimately, we are powerless to change on our own. God’s nature in us is what allows us to change.  Paul mentions 35 times that righteousness is a gift from God.  Human striving doesn’t work But it doesn’t mean that we do nothing. Instead, we need to be ready, placed in a posture of being ready for God to work in our lives.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Passion Will Only Get You So Far: A Call to Deeper Living

Passion Will Only Get You So Far: A Call to Deeper Living   There is a faulty belief that our love or passion will get us where we need to go.  But the danger of being a person who burns brightly is that you consume fuel quicker.  You will eventually burn out unless you learn how to develop a sustainable relationship with God.  Today we talk through this and look at the example of David in the Psalms.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

\\ Predicting Jesus Would Come Years Before He did: A Look at the Messianic Psalm 22

Hearing Jesus in the Psalms: Psalm 22- A Messianic Psalm that Points to Jesus   Psalm 22 is one of the most quoted Psalms in the New Testament and is called the Psalm of the Cross because of the way it reveals what Jesus would go through on the cross.  Today we take a look at some of the ways this Messianic Psalm prophesies things that can only be fulfilled in Jesus.  I pray this episode blesses you!   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there.

I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Hearing Jesus in the Psalms: Psalm 6: Coming to God With Our Shame Over Sin   Psalm 6 shows us the example of David coming to God in desperation and grief over his sin.  Because sin separates us from God, it’s important to allow God to help us through the restoration process instead of hiding it from Him.  Shame can be replaced by God’s mercy and forgiveness.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll     Need to chat one on one?

\\ Reminders from Psalm 103 on the Reasons We Have Joy as Believers in Jesus

Reminders from Psalm 103 on the Reasons We Have Joy as Believers in Jesus   Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in our daily lives, forgetting all the reasons we can celebrate God’s goodness.  Today’s Biblical meditation comes from Psalm 103.  I pray it blesses you!   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

God’s Design for Biblical Submission.  Practical Ways This Works in Our Lives – Submission- Day 4   Today we start a list of 7 things Biblical submission does.  It’s not about quieting our own hearts and desires as much as it is about elevating those of others.  Submission in our relationships can be done in a healthy, God honoring way.  Join me as we start to unpack that.    Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll     Need to chat one on one?

\\ Praying Until Something Happens- Being Empowered with the Holy Spirit

Praying Until Something Happens- Being Empowered with the Holy Spirit   God longs to empower and embolden us for the sake of the gospel.  The problem is, we sometimes don’t even ask Him to.  Today I share two testimonies of what God did, using young children.  I pray it encourages you!   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

\\ It’s Not Just the Truth That Sets Us Free.  It’s the Knowledge of the Truth.  There’s a Difference– Bible Study- Day 4

It’s Not Just the Truth That Sets Us Free.  It’s the Knowledge of the Truth.  There’s a Difference– Bible Study- Day 4   If we read God’s word and don’t understand it, we aren’t likely to get freedom from the things that keep us bound. We have to understand what it’s actually saying.  That’s where the freedom comes from.  Join me as we dig into this today.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll   Want to go a little deeper?   Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study : https://shehears.org/resources   In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew.

\\ Preparing Our Hearts to be in a Posture of Readiness for God to Work- Spiritual Disciplines Intro- Day 5

Preparing Our Hearts to be in a Posture of Readiness for God to Work- Spiritual Disciplines Intro- Day 5   When we are pursuing God, to become more like God (His nature and character), that process is called sanctification. That process is God’s work, not our work.  Ultimately, we are powerless to change on our own. God’s nature in us is what allows us to change.  Paul mentions 35 times that righteousness is a gift from God.  Human striving doesn’t work But it doesn’t mean that we do nothing. Instead, we need to be ready, placed in a posture of being ready for God to work in our lives.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll   Want to go a little deeper?   Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study : https://shehears.org/resources   In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew.

\\ Learning to Recognize Jesus in the Valleys and Not Just the Mountain Tops- Spiritual Disciplines Intro- Day 3

Learning to Recognize Jesus in the Valleys and Not Just the Mountain Tops- Spiritual Disciplines Intro- Day 3   So many people live for the mountain top experiences because that’s when they feel closest to God. It's not that He isn’t present in the valleys, we just need to learn how to recognize Him there.  People sometimes blame this on their pastors or the preaching instead of recognizing that the issue is their own relationship with God.  The spiritual disciplines will help us be intentional about growing that relationship.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Have You Experienced Who Jesus is as the Resurrection?  It Isn’t Just What He Does.  It’s Who He Is. A Devotional Look at Martha – Day 4   Resurrection isn’t just what Jesus does, it’s who He is.  When we allow Jesus to speak to those places in our lives that we think are dead, we start to fully realize who He is.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today’s content is from Chapter 4- Martha- A Woman of Assertiveness.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

God chooses to use us to help us see what He is doing and to help us see who He is.   From today’s episode:   Heart Check: What has Jesus been saying to you throughout this week?  What is He calling you to?  Is He calling you to lay something down?  Is He calling you to pick something up?   Don’t forget to share your thoughts on the facebook page and with your circle of influence.   This audio devotional is a companion to the She Hears Bible Study, today’s content is from Chapter 1- Mary- A Woman of Authority.   Mary and the servants acted in faith despite what they saw in the physical.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?  Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word?  Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach.  And I have been there.  I too was doubting God’s voice in my own life.  I too felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do.  I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was.  I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me.  Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.  If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.
