Hearing God
"Hearing God?
A daring idea, some would say-presumptuous and even dangerous.
But what if we are made for it?
What if the human system simply will not function properly without it?
There are good reasons to think it will not.
The fine texture as well as the grand movements of life show the need.
Is it not, in fact,
more presumptuous to undertake human existence without hearing God?"

"I've taken this class and it was one of the most impacting studies I've ever done. It really helped me discern the 'voices' in my head and find more confidence in hearing God's voice above all the others. I would take this class again and again, it is so rich!" -anonymous

"Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it."
-Dallas Willard, Hearing God
