Discerning His Voice When He Roars

When life grows noisy or uncertain, how does a believer discern the voice of God? Many seek soft guidance, but sometimes God intervenes with a roar -a holy disruption, demanding attention and orienting our hearts.Drawing from Scripture and practical experience, Pastor Barbie shares how God communicates in both gentle whispers and unignorable roars. Just as a lion’s roar signals presence and authority, God’s voice resonates through creation, convicts without condemning, and assures His people of victory and belonging. Get ready to tune your spiritual ears not only to the subtle, but also to the powerful moments when God asserts His dominion and calls His family home.Scriptures ReferencedPsalm 2:4, 8:3, 19:1-4; Proverbs 30:30; Isaiah 30:21, 43:1; Amos 3:8; Hosea 11:10; Micah 6:2; Luke 19:40; John 19:30; Romans 1:20, 8:22; Hebrews 5:13; Revelation 5:1-6, 19:6-9aKey Insights3 Kinds of Roars: Not every roar is the same.
