Godly Mischief Podcasts
Here are a series of podcasts that I have put together on
'Hearing from God: A Beginner's Guide'
Click on the link below to hear each episode
1.The God who speaks. This is an introduction to the series making a case for God speaking to His creation directly, through angelic messengers and through signs and symbols. If God spoke in the past to His people why wouldn't He speak to us today?
2. You mean, God speaks to me? So often we count ourselves out from hearing from God. We think we don't qualify. This podcast looks at the unlikely people that God speaks to in the Bible and how He can speak to us too.
3.An Introduction to some of the way God speaks This episode looks at the many ways that God speaks to us and some general thoughts about getting started in hearing from God.
4. The Practice of Hearing. If most of us don't hear the audible voice of God how do we 'hear' God? What helps and what hinders? This episode looks at what God's voice 'sounds' like and how we get better at hearing Him.
5. Pictures. God has a track record in using the visual to communicate, both inside of us and outside of us, using our physical sight. We also discuss visions and dreams.
6. Feeling and Perceiving. This episode is devoted to how we feel or sense God's activity in the world around us, particularly in sensing atmosphere and operating in the gift of discernment of spirits and words of knowledge for healing.
7. Discernment. How do we work out when it's God who is speaking to us? We look at how we give prophetic words to people, how we rate the words ourselves, and how they are received. We discuss the important role of tracking words and feedback in learning how to hear from God.
8. Using our imagination. Many people are unsure how to treat the imagination as a meeting place with God. Even though there is a Christian tradition of using this God-given faculty, we may still be wary. In this episode we talk about the benefits of using it to pursue God and how imagination gives way to real encounters.
9. Getting into flow. Using a simple model from Mark Virkler, we look at how we can hear God and journal the flow of revelation. We also discuss how getting into flow states helps us leave anxiety behind and primes our system to focus on the voice of God
10. Courage, perseverance and practice. The last podcast in the series that summarises some of the main points and looks to the future in forming small groups to practice hearing from God together and to process feedback from one another so we can be part of God's love message to the world.

My latest book....
'The Beach - A Journey Through Pain with the God of Play'
In this book I describe a series of encounters with The Trinity that have transformed my faith and enabled me to understand and address the connection between fear and chronic pain. I invite the Reader to engage with God in new ways and rediscover the love He has for us all.
