EP 23 | Is "Listening Prayer" Biblical? How "Listening Prayer Retreats" Hinder Spiritual Growth

Описание: Is "listening prayer" the key to intimacy with God, as many Christian teachers claim? In this deep-dive conversation–which is Part 2 of a 2-part interview with my co-author Doug Geivett–we discuss a particular view of prayer as "two-way communication" and explore how seeking audible voices or mystical promptings can be a distraction from true spiritual growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting to ""hear from God"" or worried that you’re missing God's specific instructions for your life, this episode is for you.

In this video, we explore a more robust, biblical framework for intimacy with God. The topics we address include:

True "Conversation" with God: How God communicates through a mind transformed by Scripture.
Wisdom Over Formulas: Why God wants you to grow into an "empowered agent" rather than a puppet waiting for instructions.
The Dallas Willard Connection: A personal look at Willard’s approach to "hearing God."
The Obedience Key: Why acting on what you already know is the surest path to intimacy with God.
