Hearing Jesus: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Hearing God & 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 Bible teacher Rachael Groll, Hearing Jesus is a daily Bible study and daily devotional podcast that brings together Scripture, prayer, and Christian affirmations to help you hear God's voice more clearly and grow closer to Him. Each episode opens the Holy 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, Christian encouragement, Bible study for women, or practical teaching on hearing God and following Jesus, this is a place to grow.

What If Your Past Is Too Far Gone to Fix? Hearing God’s Voice in Luke 5:27-39
By the rules of his own religion, Levi's sin was unforgivable. Repentance required restitution, and he could never find the people he had overcharged.
Today in our daily Bible study we finish Luke 5 at a dinner party. Jesus calls a tax collector, and the first thing Levi does is throw a banquet and fill the room with the only people who would st...

When Should You Say No to Good Things? Hearing God's Voice in Luke 5:12-26
The crowds were growing and people were still sick, and Jesus kept slipping away to pray anyway.
Today in our daily Bible study we're in the middle of Luke 5, looking at two men who were locked out and the way Jesus dealt with the barrier before He dealt with the symptom. Then we come to one quiet sentence that I can't get past: as the need increased, Jesu...

Can You Obey God When You Think He’s Wrong? Hearing God’s Voice in Luke 5:1-11
Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. Then Jesus told him to go back out at the worst possible time of day.
Today in our daily Bible study we’re starting Luke 5, where Jesus begins calling His disciples. What strikes me about Peter is that he doesn’t believe it’s going to work, he says so out loud, and he lets the...

Hearing God in Luke:
Jesus said be quiet and come out, and it left.
Today we finish Luke 4 in Capernaum, where Jesus starts proving line by
line everything He claimed back in Nazareth. A man held by a demon walks out free. A woman burning with fever gets up and makes dinner. A whole town brings its sick and He touches them one at a time. We'll look at what first-century exorcism actually looked like, why Jesus refused to let the...

affirmations are a steady way to enter the week grounded, attentive, and

Confidence in Hearing God:
Something can be accurate and still not be from God. That's the hardest
part of discernment, and it's what we're working through today.
This week we've been talking about prophecy, and a question came in about
something I said on Monday: that accuracy is not the test. Today I explain what I meant, using the slave girl in Acts 16 who said something completely true while serving something demonic. I also ...

Hearing God in Luke:
Within six verses of saying Scripture had been fulfilled in their
hearing, Jesus' hometown was dragging Him toward a cliff. What set them off is worth understanding.
Today we're in Luke 4:16-30. Jesus announces the year of the Lord's
favor, which was Jubilee, and then He stops reading Isaiah mid-sentence. He
leaves out the part about vengeance, which is the part they had been waiting generations for. Then He...

Hearing God in Luke:
Jesus stood up in His hometown synagogue, read Isaiah out loud, and said
it was about Him.
Today we're in Luke 4:14-22, where Jesus announces His mission: good news
to the poor, liberty to the captives, sight to the blind. The word for liberty
is the same word Luke used earlier for the forgiveness of sins. It means
release, pardon, a debt wiped off the books. I also share a story from a prison

The devil's first words to Jesus were "if you are the Son of God." God had just called Him exactly that.
We're in Luke 4 today talking about the enemy. Who he is, how he actually
operates, and why his opening move is almost always an attack on identity. He isn't trying to get you to doubt that God exists. He's trying to get you to
prove something God already settled, because once you're busy proving, he can get you to do almost an...

Have you ever said yes to God and then watched everything get harder?
Luke 4 shows us why.
We're starting Luke chapter 4 in our fall Bible study, and before we get
to the three temptations, there's something in the first two verses most of us

who led Him into the wilderness. The hard season wasn't a detour from the
assignment. It was part of it. Today we...
