| 4 Ways to Use the Peace of the Holy Spirit for Discernment: Biblical Encouragement for When You Feel Stuck | 42 | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:30:51 | |
What does the peace of the Holy Spirit actually feel like and how can you use it for discernment in everyday decisions? In this episode, we explore how God uses His peace to guide His people, how to recognize the difference between true peace and false peace, and why the absence of peace can sometimes be just as important when listening for God’s voice. Through Scripture, biblical examples, and personal reflection, this episode offers biblical encouragement for believers who want to grow in faith without forcing clarity or mistaking comfort for God’s leading. If you’ve ever struggled to trust in God when decisions feel unclear, or wondered whether peace is something you can actually grow in over time, this conversation will help ground your discernment in God’s Word rather than pressure or fear. We’ll look at what the Bible says about peace, how it works alongside wisdom, counsel, and prayer, and how God patiently trains us to recognize His guidance. ✨ Journal prompts to help you reflect on this episode and practice discernment are available in the newsletter: you can sign up at laurentpaperco.com/newsletter. Whether you’re new to discernment or deepening your ability to hear God’s voice, this episode is an invitation to rest in the peace Christ has promised and to let it shape your trust in Him.

| How God is Going to Speak To You This Year (& Why It Might Feel Unclear) | 37 | 06 Jan 2026 | 00:13:27 | |
Episode 2 of our New Years Series! In Day 2 of our New Year series, we explore how God speaks and why discernment can feel so challenging, even when we deeply desire closeness with Him. Grounded in Scripture, this episode offers biblical encouragement for anyone who longs to hear God’s voice but feels stuck, distracted, or unsure how to recognize it. We’ll walk through the primary ways God communicates with His people (through Scripture, other believers, inner impressions of the Holy Spirit, dreams and visions, circumstances, and even our God-given desires) and why learning to listen requires both faith and trust in God. You’ll also discover some of the most common blocks that cloud discernment, including distraction, unbelief, unfamiliarity with God’s ways, and the lack of intentional listening rhythms. Throughout the episode, you’ll be invited to slow down with reflective questions you can use as journal prompts designed to help you notice where God may already be speaking and to build confidence in hearing Him personally. If you’ve ever wondered whether God’s voice is really for you, this episode is a reminder that His promises are sure, His Spirit lives within you, and hearing Him is part of the relationship He desires with you. If you’re ready to grow in discernment, deepen your faith, and step into 2026 anchored in Scripture and hope, this episode will encourage you to listen again with expectation.

| The Number One Goal You Need in 2026 for Spiritual Growth | 36 | 05 Jan 2026 | 00:14:31 | |
Episode 1 of our New Years Series! As we step into a new year, many of us are setting goals rooted in faith, growth, and intentional living. But what if the most important goal for 2026 isn’t something we do, but something we learn to hear? In this episode, we explore why discernment, specifically hearing God’s voice, should be your number one priority this year. Drawing from Scripture, we look at how God speaks through His Word and by His Spirit, why His voice produces lasting fruit, and how learning to listen shapes every other goal we set. You’ll receive biblical encouragement to trust God’s guidance, even when the future feels unclear, and be reminded that intimacy and friendship with God are at the heart of the Christian life. We’ll also unpack common pitfalls Christians face with goal-setting, reflect on how misplaced motivations can affect our spiritual growth, and reframe spiritual disciplines as pathways to relationship rather than religious obligation.

| Hearing God's Voice in the Advent Story: Faith and Discernment Through Joseph’s Eyes | 34 | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:12:46 | |
In this episode, we step into the story of Joseph and explore what his life teaches us about discernment, especially when God’s voice feels both unmistakably clear and painfully quiet. Through Scripture in Matthew 1–2 and Luke 2, we reflect on how Joseph learned to trust God through angelic dreams, divine interruption, and seasons of silence. His story offers deep biblical encouragement for anyone longing to hear God, wrestling with uncertainty, or learning what trust in God looks like when obedience feels costly.
