Opening Our Spiritual Eyes and Hearing God in the Ordinary

In this vulnerable and faith-filled episode, I share the sacred personal stories of how God used birds — and other ordinary things — to speak to me during pivotal moments in my spiritual journey. From my very first “bird tap” on my birthday to a full flock answering my doubts and a winter bird confirming our land purchase, these experiences taught me how to truly see with spiritual eyes and hear the Lord’s personal guidance. Whether you’re just beginning to recognize God’s hand in your life or you’ve been walking with Him for years, this episode will encourage you to open your spiritual senses and trust that He speaks to you in ways tailored to your heart. Key Topics • The beginning of spiritual awakening and seeing with spiritual eyes • How God speaks through everyday objects, animals, songs, and moments • My personal “bird stories” and the powerful confirmations they brought • Moving forward in faith even when fear and doubt are present • Building a Zion-centered life through obedience and personal revelation • A gentle warning about putting God in a box vs. staying open to His will.
