Spirit Power & GraceJen Ryerson and Hearing the Voice of God"I was able to hear and discern the voice of God because I believe that God speaks," Jen Ryerson says. "The first requirement necessary for us to hear God's voice is to know and believe that our Father in heaven is still speaking to us." On this episode, Andrew and Jen talk about the amazing reality that God speaks to His children. They discuss ways that we can hear the voice of God: through Holy Scripture, through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit, through other people (including spiritual fathers and mothers), and through specific situations.2023-08-221h 05
