Is God really whispering to you... Or are you hearing something else? 🌀 In this episode, we dig into a book that's shaping how thousands think about hearing God, while also shining a light on the hidden influences many Christians don't realize they're embracing. 📚 Whether you're curious, cautious, or convinced, this conversation is worth having.
.
Many Christians long for an intimate, conversational relationship with God, and Pete Greig offers what sounds like simple advice: "Listen and follow Jesus." According to him, all Christian theology boils down to those four words. From major life decisions to tiny, everyday choices—like which shirt to wear—Greig claims God is constantly whispering guidance to those who will listen. But comforting as that may sound, such bold claims demand biblical support.
.
That's where things get convoluted. Greig points to the story of the road to Emmaus as a "master class" in how to hear God's voice. But that story, found in the Gospel of Luke, wasn't written as a manual for discerning divine whispers—it was written to show that Jesus truly rose from the dead and appeared physically to his followers. Reading it as a guide to spiritual intuition not only stretches the text but also ignores its context entirely.
