With raw honesty, Kersha shares the story of sitting in church when she heard \"I want you to write me a book\"—and her immediate response of looking around thinking, \"Cool. For them.\" This isn't just a theological discussion; it's a masterclass in discerning divine prompting from personal fear, assumption, and misinterpretation.\n\nThe Owens get refreshingly real about the six-month delay between hearing God's call and mustering the courage to speak it out loud, the repeated nudges that wouldn't go away, and the confirmation that came through unexpected sources. From writing a book to launching a podcast to making major life decisions, Brian and Kersha walk listeners through their personal framework for testing whether something is truly from God. This episode is both a challenge to stop rationalizing away what God is asking and a practical guide for anyone who's ever wondered: Did I really just hear from Him?\n\n🔥 What You'll Learn:\n\nRecognizing God's Voice: Discover how to distinguish between divine prompting and your own thoughts, fears, or assumptions—and why repeated nudges are often God's way of getting your attention.\nThe Delay Between Hearing and Obeying: Understand why many believers hear God's call but take months (or years) to act on it, and how delayed obedience is still disobedience.\nWhen God's Assignments Feel Unreasonable: Learn why God's voice often feels unrealistic before it feels anointed, and how obedience usually comes before clarity and understanding.\nSeeking Confirmation: Explore the importance of asking for divine confirmation when you feel God is calling you to something, and how confirmation can come through unexpected people and circumstances.\nGod's Thoughts Are Higher: Discover how Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God's ways...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/4ysMG7mS-utebBnvdySfMSoiUciWWx-5GhBjM_WrLu8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMzgw/NjM5MWZjOGIyZjdi/MTRiZTM5ZGFiZjUz/ZmY3Mi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
