Hearing God's Voice: Removing Obstacles and Restoring Intimacy
In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and Josh Overton dive into one of the most personal and transformative themes of the spiritual journey: hearing the voice of God. Through stories, theology, and personal reflection, they remind us that God is still speaking—and always has been.
Michael shares a powerful encounter in an aspen grove, while Josh recalls a moment of divine validation as a "Giant Slayer." Together, they unpack the misconceptions, fears, and shame that often block us from hearing God clearly and offer encouragement for both solitude and community as sacred spaces where we can connect with Him.
They also introduce their new YouVersion reading plan, "Comforted by God," which is designed to help listeners engage in contemplative prayer and learn how to hear God's voice in everyday moments. From walking in the woods to holding a rock in your hand, no moment is too ordinary for God to speak.
This episode is an invitation to posture your heart to listen, believe He's speaking, and experience the comfort of His voice.
We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
