    45. How Christian Physicians Can Hear God’s Voice in a Noisy World (and Why It Matters Now)

    Send us a text Are you struggling to hear God’s voice in the middle of medicine? Have you ever wondered if that nudge was truly from Him—or just your own thoughts? Tune In: Hear the Voice of God in a Chaotic World Hey there, friends! In this episode of Heal the Healers, I speak directly to one of the most common struggles I hear from Christian physicians: discerning God’s voice in a noisy, demanding world. Medicine trains us to rely on logic, data, and speed, but hearing God often requires stillness, trust, and spiritual attentiveness. In a world full of confusion, deception, and scary events unfolding, it’s more important than ever to hear from God clearly.  How do we do that? That's what we're diving into today. I’ll preview the transformative Heal the Healers Physician Retreat, where we focus on hearing from God directly, planning intentionally for the year ahead, and how to be Kingdom physicians. We’ll talk about why it's essential to hear God’s voice not just for your practice, but for your life. I explore hearing God through daily actions, long-term planning, and share practical tips and spiritual insights on how the Lord communicates. I’m also covering details of what you can expect at the retreat, from worship and personal reflection to prophetic activations. Join me as we prioritize pause, refocus on Him, and equip ourselves for the year ahead. Let's make space for God's direction together.
