In college, I was feeling a strong sense that God was leading me to make a change about my education. I was discussing this with a mentor/guide at the time, and I will never forget her saying, “Isn’t it amazing that the creator of the universe—the one who spoke all into existence—is speaking to you?” She was a guide who taught me the gravity and significance behind experiencing God’s voice.

That's such a good quote, Julie! I think that's one of the most amazing things about following Jesus is that you get a REAL relationship (and that always includes conversation).

Austin of course for me you have been there all along the way for my journey. From alpha to my baptism and my 1000 questions along the way. Many books later I also find CS Lewis, Timothy Keller, Lee Strobel and many authors along the way as influential in my journey. One book that everyone should read along the way is “The Air we Breathe”. I thank you for your continued guidance…. Just answering me of course yesterday about prayer. Thank you

My parents have been great guides and examples in following God's direction, especially through their prayerfulness and unity when moving cities or houses. "Just Do Something" by Kevin DeYoung is a little book that was helpful for me in demystifying the process of hearing from God about some key decisions, while a friendship with Jay Passavant helped open me up a bit :)

I've been meaning to read Kevin DeYoung's book for YEARS!

(And I, too, have benefited from time with Jay.)
