Is That God, or Just Me? Learning to Hear the Holy Spirit | Ep. 8
When you sense a nudge to speak to someone, how do you tell whether to act? Khalil Hattar, Josh Schultz and Kris Ziegelhofer reflect on learning to listen for the Holy Spirit. Josh compares that openness with his experience of improvisation and recalls a conversation at the parish festival that became an invitation to Alpha. He also acknowledges that he can discern wrongly and does not want to attribute his own thoughts to God.
Kris shares an experience of praying in adoration while her husband faced a stressful situation at work. She describes finding relief before the problem itself was resolved. The conversation connects those personal accounts with making time for prayer, getting to know people before inviting them into a program, and asking for guidance when worry or the desire for control takes over.
