Learning to Listen to God's Voice

We aspire to lead a deeper and more fulfilling life. God is always calling us into greater connection, purpose, and being in the world. How do we discern the call? In On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion, authors Magrey deVega, Sam McGlothlin, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb, give practical ways to attune ourselves to the Spirit, listen for God’s voice, and live the lives we were meant to live. Join them as they guide you through the process of discovering God’s purpose in your passions.

When training for a sport or honing an artistic skill, one excels by having proper form, taking time to practice, sharpening natural abilities, and drawing on the skills and support of those around you. The same principles apply to the art and practice of listening to God’s voice.

In this webinar, you will:

Learn how to align yourself with the Spirit
Receive practical methods to raise awareness of God’s voice
Discover your gifts and passions and learn how God can use them
Be invited to join with others in your community for greater support and impact

Come together with Magrey, Sam, Jevon, and Susan for this guide to hearing, responding, and being transformed by the hope God has for your life.

"As a pastor, I’m often asked in and by my community how to lead faithful lives. On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion offers the best blueprint, grounded in Scripture and in real-life examples, to journey with members of the community in ways that will inspire, challenge, guide and affirm! "

- Joe Kim, Lead Pastor of Bothell United Methodist Church
