Ever second-guess whether it’s God talking to you… or just your own inner dialogue?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, Jenilee sits down with anxiety specialist and Christian coach Eric Gilbert to unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways God speaks—and how to tell the difference between faith-led clarity and fear-driven noise.

👀 If you’ve ever asked:

  • “Is this really God… or am I making it up?”

  • “What if I miss it?”

  • “What if it’s just my feelings talking?”

...this episode will clear the fog.

🔍 We dive into:

  • A simple 70/30 rule to help you filter spiritual direction

  • The key difference between conviction and anxiety

  • Why overthinking makes it harder to hear clearly

  • Real-life stories of hearing God’s voice (even in emergencies)

  • How Eric helped a client break fear by identifying the real root of their struggle

  • And Jenilee’s personal example of asking the Holy Spirit to reveal truth—in real time—with her kids

If you want to hear God’s voice with confidence and peace, this episode is your roadmap.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
