    Hearing God Through Grace with David Holland

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes David Holland—author, speaker, pastor, and encourager—for a powerful conversation about grace, freedom, and learning to hear the voice of our Heavenly Father. David shares how he came to Christ at seven years old, yet spent much of his early Christian life struggling with guilt, shame, and the feeling that he had to earn God’s approval. Everything began to change when he discovered a deeper understanding of grace and realized that because of Jesus, he could freely approach his Heavenly Father and find love rather than disappointment. Together, Kate and David explore how that understanding can transform the way we hear God. David discusses some of the things that can make His voice difficult to recognize—including shame, distractions, a noisy soul, and simply being uncomfortable with silence. He encourages listeners to make room for stillness and immerse themselves in Scripture, which gives the Holy Spirit a vocabulary through which to speak. David also shares a memorable story from his own life when he sensed God telling him to call a Christian radio station and ask for a job—even though he had no experience or credentials. After initially resisting, a Scripture he had memorized came to mind and gave him the courage to make the call. The station happened to need someone at that exact moment, opening a door that would change the trajectory of his life. Main Takeaway: You don’t have to earn your way into God’s presence. You are loved, welcomed, and accepted because of Jesus. Quiet the noise, know His Word, and draw close to your Heavenly Father—He desires a personal, life-giving relationship with you and wants you to hear His voice.

    Finding Freedom by Following God’s Voice with Sue Fries

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Sue Fries—business owner, radio host of The Sue Fries Show, author, and speaker—for an honest conversation about hearing God’s voice, finding freedom from the past, and trusting His plan for your life. Sue shares how God dramatically redirected her career while she was working in fashion with a simple message: “Get into the bug business.” She listened, and that unexpected step of obedience eventually grew into Ecola, a business with 80 employees. But Sue’s story goes much deeper than business success. She vulnerably opens up about hurts and trauma from her past and how, during a critical season, God literally used the radio to lead her toward the help she needed. Through healing, learning to forgive herself, and surrendering her past to God, Sue discovered a freedom that she now uses to bring hope to others. Today, Sue continues to encourage people through radio, speaking, writing, and her latest book, Why Am I Here? Her story is a reminder that our past does not have to determine our future—and God can use every part of our journey for a greater purpose. Main Takeaway: Listen when God speaks.

    Trusting God with the Outcome with Steve Husting

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Steve Husting—husband, father, artist, author, evangelist, and joyful servant—for an encouraging conversation about hearing God’s voice, walking in obedience, and trusting Him with the outcome. Steve shares his journey of following God while living with severe hearing loss, including seasons of isolation before receiving a cochlear implant that changed his world. Along the way, God taught him what surrender looks like in both the big and small areas of life. From prompting Steve to let go of things he was holding onto—including his comic book collection—to clearly pointing out the woman who would become his wife, Steve has learned that listening to God often requires a willingness to obey. During one of his most difficult seasons, Steve asked God a question he had carried for years: “Why aren’t I healed?” The answer he sensed from God—“I take full responsibility”—allowed Steve to finally release the outcome and rest in God’s care. Today, Steve continues to serve wherever God places him, whether teaching Sunday school, helping behind the scenes, sharing his creativity, or simply being available to others. Main Takeaway: God is faithful, even when His answer looks different from what we hoped for. We can trust Him with the outcome, walk in obedience, and believe that He will provide everything we truly need. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Pursuing God’s Presence with Alli Joy Vazquez

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Alli Joy Vazquez, wife, mother, and full-time evangelist serving in global ministry, for an encouraging conversation about what it means to truly pursue the presence of God. Alli Joy shares how her journey of hearing God’s voice began at a young age and how a life filled with the Holy Spirit has shaped her faith and ministry. Together, Kate and Alli discuss why our private devotional life matters more to God than our public ministry—and why time alone with Jesus is one of the most valuable things we can prioritize. Alli also offers encouragement to women who feel called to serve, reminding them, “Don’t fight to be a woman in ministry, just be a woman and do ministry.” For anyone struggling to hear God’s voice, she encourages making space to get away from the distractions, seek Him in the secret place, and simply spend time in His presence. Kate and Alli close the episode by praying for listeners and pointing back to what our hearts are ultimately searching for: His presence. Main Takeaway: Pursuing God begins in the secret place.
