People struggle to know if they're actually hearing Him. In this episode of Chosen by God , Connie sits down with Rachael Groll for an honest conversation about what it really means to recognize God's voice in the middle of everyday life. Not in the quiet moments alone. But in decisions, doubts, parenting, pressure, and the weight of wanting to get it right. Because underneath so many questions is one that doesn't get said out loud: \"What if I miss Him?\" Together, they unpack: Why hearing God often feels unclear, even for faithful believers The difference between God's voice, your thoughts, and outside noise How to grow in discernment without becoming anxious or over-spiritualizing everything What Scripture actually shows us about how God speaks And how to move forward with confidence when you're not 100% sure This isn't about chasing a feeling or waiting for a perfect answer. It's about becoming the kind of person who can recognize His voice— and trust Him enough to follow it. If you've ever second-guessed a decision, questioned what you're sensing, or quietly wondered if you're doing this whole \"hearing God\" thing right, this conversation will encourage you.
