“Discernment: Hearing God in a Noisy World”

Simply put, discerning God’s unique voice is one of the most important skills for a Christian and is absolutely crucial for our intimacy with God and our ability to follow him.  And, in many ways, our world is engineered to prevent us from cultivating the skill of discernment.  Because of these two realizations, we offer this growing collection of resources to help all of us learn to better recognize and respond to God’s unique voice.  We hope you’ll be blessed by them!
