Hearing Jesus: Daily Bible Study and Christian Affirmations
Do you ever wonder whether you're actually hearing God's voice, or whether it's just your own? Have you been in a season where He feels completely silent? Hosted by Rachael Groll, the Hearing Jesus Podcast brings together daily Bible study, Christian affirmations, prayer, and spiritual growth to help you hear God more clearly and go deeper with Him. Each episode opens the Bible through historical context, Spirit-led teaching, and honest encouragement, so you can understand Scripture, strengthen your faith, and live it out in ordinary days. Episodes cover daily devotionals, Christian prayer, Bible teaching, hearing the Holy Spirit, emotional healing, identity in Christ, and learning to recognize God's direction in a noisy world. Whether you're looking for a daily devotional podcast, Christian encouragement, Bible study for women, or practical teaching on hearing God and following Jesus, this is a place to grow.

Allowing God's Voice to Be the Loudest | Luke 1:57-66
Sometimes the hardest voices to push past aren't the critics. They're the people who love you. In today's passage, Elizabeth finally gives birth, and the neighbors and relatives who had been celebrating God's mercy right alongside her show up with a plan for what to name the baby. They mean well. They're also wrong. And Elizabeth, who has experienced God for herself, says no.

If the Mother of Jesus Needed a Savior, You Do Too | Luke 1:39-56
Mary's song is one of the most beautiful things in all of Scripture, and I don't want us to rush past what she says in the second line. She calls God her Savior. The young woman God chose to carry His Son understood that she needed rescuing just like the rest of us, and she said it out loud in the middle of her own worship. That tells us something about her, and it ...

Favored Is Not the Same Thing as Favorite (Luke 1:26-38)
Have you ever wondered why, if you are really favored by God, life still feels this hard? A lot of us quietly carry that question. We hear that God favors His people, and then we look at our circumstances and feel confused, overlooked, or unqualified. The story of Mary clears up something we have gotten mixed up for a long time.
In this episode we slow down in Luke 1:26-38,...

When Fear Drowns Out God's Voice: Zechariah and Elizabeth: Luke 1:5-25
There are things that keep us from hearing God, and fear is one of the loudest. Not because God stops speaking, but because fear gets between us and what He is saying.
Zechariah is a hard case to dismiss. He came from a priestly family, Scripture calls him righteous, and it says he walked blamelessly. He was literally in the middle of serving God when God spok...

Luke Was Not a Disciple: An Introduction to the Gospel of Luke
We're starting our fall study of the Gospel of Luke, and before we open the text, it's worth knowing who wrote this book and why. Luke was a physician, a careful historian, and the only non-Jewish author in all of Scripture. He wasn't one of the twelve. He never met Jesus. And he wrote for someone who had already heard the stories but needed something solid underneat...

Before we open the Gospel of Luke, there's a question worth answering: what exactly is a gospel? Most of us have read these four books without ever stopping to ask what kind of writing they are, and that one gap changes everything about how we read them. Gospel is a genre. These are ancient biographies of Jesus, written by four different men to four different audiences, and they were never meant to be read the way we read a modern ...

The Silent Years: What God Was Doing in the 400 Years Between the Old and New Testaments
There are about 400 years between the last page of the Old Testament and the first page of the New. Most of us turn that page without ever noticing. Scholars call it the intertestamental period, but most people know it as the silent years, because there was no prophet speaking in Israel and no Scripture being written. And yet when you look at ...
