Episode #87
How we Sound to God
Have you ever stopped to think about how we sound to God? In this episode, we explore the funny—and convicting—reality that sometimes, when God asks us to spend time with Him, obey Him, or do something He’s calling us to do, we can sound like little kids. We complain, whine, make excuses, negotiate, and come up with every reason why we’re too busy, too tired, or simply not ready. Yet God continues to invite us closer. Just like a loving parent who patiently listens to a child’s complaints while still knowing what’s best for them, God hears our excuses but doesn’t stop calling us. He desires our time, our attention, and our obedience—not because He needs something from us, but because He knows what is best for us. This episode challenges us to recognize the ways we may be resisting God and hiding behind excuses. What if instead of saying, “But I’m too busy,” “I don’t feel like it,” or “I’ll do it later,” we simply said, “Yes, Lord”? Sometimes growing in our relationship with God means growing up in our faith—learning to stop making excuses and start trusting that when God asks something of us, there is a purpose behind it. The question is: If you could hear yourself the way God hears you, what would you sound like?
