Have you ever wondered if God is actually speaking to you?

Many believers wrestle with that question. Some expect God to speak in dramatic, supernatural ways, while others assume He only speaks through Scripture or through church leaders. But what if the real issue isn’t whether God is speaking… but whether we’ve learned how to recognize His voice?

In this episode of the Passages Podcast, Brittany and Eric begin a powerful conversation exploring ten ways God communicates with His people. Drawing directly from biblical examples, they examine how the Lord has spoken to people across history and how those same methods still apply today.

For many people, the idea of hearing from God feels confusing or even intimidating. Some wonder if what they’re sensing is truly from God, while others fear they might simply be imagining things. This discussion helps bring clarity by anchoring each example in Scripture and showing how God communicates in both dramatic and quiet ways.

In this first part of the conversation, Brittany and Eric explore four of the ways God "speaks":
______________________________________________________________

Angelic visitation – Moments when God sends a messenger to deliver guidance or revelation, as seen throughout the Bible with figures like Zacharias, Joseph, and Cornelius.

Rhema word – When the Holy Spirit speaks directly to our spirit, bringing timely insight, conviction, or direction in a specific moment.

Logos word – God speaking through the written Word of Scripture, which provides truth, correction, wisdom, and guidance for daily life.

Dreams and visions – Powerful moments where God reveals insight, direction, or understanding through images, impressions, or encounters while we sleep or during quiet moments.

Throughout the episode, Brittany and Eric share both biblical examples and personal experiences that help illustrate how these forms of communication can unfold in real life. They also discuss an important question many believers ask:

How do you discern whether something is truly from God or just your own thoughts?

By examining Scripture closely and slowing down to unpack what the Bible actually says, this conversation encourages listeners to develop greater spiritual awareness and confidence in their relationship with God.

If you’ve ever felt like you struggle to hear God’s voice, you are not alone—and you are not broken.

Sometimes we simply haven’t been taught the many ways He communicates.

In this episode, Brittany and Eric discuss:

• Why many believers feel unsure about hearing God’s voice
• How God communicated with people throughout the Bible
• The difference between Rhema and Logos words
• Why Scripture remains the foundation for discernment
• How dreams, visions, and impressions can carry spiritual meaning
• Practical ways to recognize when God may be speaking

These four examples are only the beginning.

In the next episode, Brittany and Eric will continue the conversation by exploring six more ways God communicates in everyday life.

If you’ve ever asked the question “Is God speaking to me?”, this episode will assist you in recognizing His voice in ways you may have never considered before.

Because sometimes God isn’t silent, He is just speaking in a variety of ways we've never realized.
