Obedience to God can feel risky but is essential. Mary's act of anointing Jesus was a profound sacrifice. Public worship can invite criticism, especially for women. Mary's devotion was motivated by her relationship with Jesus. Judas's criticism stemmed from greed, not concern for the poor. Extravagant acts of worship may seem foolish to others. God sees and values our heart's intentions. The opinion of God should outweigh societal expectations. There is always an invitation for spiritual growth.  Chapters 00:00 A Season of Financial Struggle and Faith 02:29 Mary's Anointing of Jesus: A Deep Dive 12:33 The Significance of Mary's Sacrifice 16:25 The Call to Bold Devotion 20:15 Closing Reflections and Prayer Bible, Bible Study, Devotions, Devotional, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Growth, hearing God’s voice, Hearing God, Hearing Jesus, Praying, Pray, God’s Word, Scriptures Hearing Jesus, Knowing God's Voice, Female Prophets, Bible Study, Spiritual Growth, Christian Podcast, Faith Journey, Obedience, God's Communication, Personal Reflections, prophecy, faith, surrender, spiritual gifts, women's ministry, Christian podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

Summer Bible Study: Everything Jesus does is intentional- A Devotional Look at Mary, Mother of Jesus   Today we look at Mary’s example of how to handle the seasons when God asks us to lay something down. Her example of faith helps us to surrender to what Jesus is calling us to lay down in our own lives.   Everything Jesus does is intentional. He doesn’t react, He responds.   From today’s episode:   Heart Check: Is there an area of your life that you are hesitant to bring to Jesus? Or when you do, it’s accompanied by a justification or explanation of why you are feeling the way you do?

Raw and Honest Prayers: How King David's Example Can Transform Your Prayer Life: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 143   Psalm 143 portrays King David in a state of emotional distress - feeling low, anxious, and likely struggling to sleep as he turns to God in prayer. He acknowledges his desperation and realizes that his only hope is in God's intervention. Have you experienced a similar situation? I certainly have. I find David's example of being honest and genuine with God in our prayers inspiring. This passage reminds us that it's okay to express our deepest emotions to God and seek His help in times of need. I hope this episode brings you encouragement, particularly when you find yourself in a similar circumstance. Thoughts to Journal: Think about a time in your life when you felt overwhelmed, anxious, or low, just like King David in Psalm 143. How did you handle those emotions? Did you turn to God in prayer or try to manage them on your own? Reflect on what you learned from that experience and how you can apply David's example of being real and honest with God in your prayer life. Write down a prayer to God, expressing your raw emotions and seeking His help in any current struggles or challenges you may be facing. Today’s Key Verse: Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

From Cave to Courage: How David's Faith Inspires Us to Overcome Adversity: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 142   In today’s episode, we explore Psalm 142 and the powerful message it holds for those facing desperate situations.

My heartfelt prayer is that this episode will bring you the inspiration and encouragement you need to face any challenge with courage and confidence. Thoughts to Journal: Think of a difficult situation you're currently facing or have faced in the past. How did you feel during that time? What actions did you take to overcome it?

Today’s Key Verse: I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble.

Honoring God with Our Words: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 141   Hey there, welcome to the Hearing Jesus podcast! In today's episode, we're going to dive into Psalm 141 and explore David's prayer to God about his words. We'll talk about how this prayer can help us yield our hearts and minds to the Lord, especially in difficult situations where our mouths can get the best of us. David's example reminds us to ask for God's guidance and control over our mouths and hearts, so we can respond in ways that honor Him. So, if you're looking for inspiration and guidance on how to pray and surrender your words to God, this episode is for you. I pray this episode blesses you! Thoughts to Journal: How has your mouth responded in the past when you have been faced with a similar experience to David? When you think about this in terms of your mouth being a reflection of what’s in your heart, what thoughts do you have? Do you need to surrender your words to the Lord? Spend some time in prayer today, asking God to help you the next time you are in this kind of situation. Today’s Key Verse: Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Psalm 141:3   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying.

There is Only One Hero in the Bible : Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 140   Today’s passage looks at the behavior of David, in a situation that is pretty similar to what each of us have gone through. Yet there are some aspects that we should recognize as part of his humanity, and not necessarily something we should emulate. Instead, we should look to Jesus, how He responded, as our model. As we compare the two today, I pray this episode blesses you.   Thoughts to Journal: In the past, have you looked to the human character in the Bible as the heroes? How does your perspective shift when you realize that they aren’t the ones that are the hero? Allow yourself some time today to process that, as you start to look for God’s character and nature to be the model we chase after. Today’s Key Verse: I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor. Psalm 140:12 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?

The Faithfulness of God is Everlasting: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 138   Today is the first of eight psalms written by David. David’s prayer of thankfulness and praise also includes his desire to see the name of Yahweh praised in the surrounding nations. Eventually, the spread of the gospel would reach outside of Israel after Jesus came. As we unpack this psalm, may it encourage you to pray for those that do not yet know Him. Thoughts to Journal: In the midst of trouble, we see David praising God for His faithfulness. When you think of God’s name, do you also think about his character? His behavior? His reputation? How can those things encourage you when you are going through trouble? Spend some time today reminding yourself of these things so you can refer to them in difficult seasons. Today’s Key Verse: On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul. Psalm 138:3 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?

Yearning for God’s Presence: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 137   As we study today the worship leaders of Israel, and the longing they experienced while in captivity, it reminds us of the yearning we sometimes feel as we live in the space of the “already but not yet.” We are already one with Christ, but not yet fully restored, and we won’t be this side of heaven. It is a normal human emotion to sometimes wrestle with that yearning. I pray that as we unpack today’s psalm, it helps you settle into a place of thankfulness for the gift and presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Thoughts to Journal: Do you ever long for heaven? For the complete restoration of our lives, our bodies, and our world? If we are honest, it sometimes is hard not to yearn for that when we look at the world around us. Spend some time today thanking God for the gift of the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to be a light in this dark world as we wait for Christ’s return. Today’s Key Verse: May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you Psalm 137:6a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own?

Thoughts to Journal: Do you sometimes get stuck in your prayer life? Try to take the patterns we see in Psalm 136 as a model for your own prayer life to get you started. Remember that it’s not a formula, but an idea to get you started. The goal of prayer is relationship. Write out your response to Him, He longs to spend time with you, friend!

Praising God for His Goodness and His Greatness: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 135   Praising God has more to do with who He is than what He may be doing in our lives. We know God’s character and nature does not change, so we can also praise Him for who He will be in the future. Today we see that example in Psalm 135. Thoughts to Journal: When was the last time you simply praised God for who He is? For His goodness and greatness, not in response to a current situation? While it is important to praise Him for what He has done and what He is currently doing, it’s also important to praise Him for who we know Him to be. Take some time to write out a prayer of praise to Him today. Today’s Key Verse: Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Psalm 135:1 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life? Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do. The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life. Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.

Trusting Jesus is Good: John 10: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll walks through John 10 and the powerful image of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. She explains how His care, protection, and guidance aren’t distant ideas but deeply personal realities that shape how we live and how we hear His voice. Drawing from the cultural context of shepherding and her own journey of learning to trust God’s care, Rachael shows why recognizing Jesus’ voice is central to a growing, grounded faith. ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here: ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Get Ad-Free Episodes, Bonus Content, and more here: ⁠ patreon.com/HearingJesus ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

Learning to recognize God’s voice happens through relationship, not pressure or perfection. The cultural picture of shepherding helps us understand how closely Jesus walks with His people. Abundant life isn’t about comfort or success — it’s about being rooted in Jesus. The enemy tries to steal joy, hope, and purpose, but staying close to the Shepherd brings clarity and peace. True transformation happens when we trust Jesus enough to follow His leading. Our identity is anchored in belonging to Him, not in what we’ve been through. Walking with Jesus daily helps us discern His voice from the noise around us. Faith grows as we lean into His guidance with humility and dependence. Relationship with Jesus is always the foundation — not rules, not performance. 00:00 – The Heart of the Good Shepherd 02:10 – Understanding Shepherding in Jesus’ World 06:25 – Why His Voice Matters 11:42 – Abundant Life and Spiritual Discernment 15:30 – Learning to Trust God’s Care 18:55 – How to Recognize the Shepherd’s Voice 22:40 – Following Jesus in Everyday Life Bible, Bible Study, Devotions, Devotional, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Jesus, God, Holy Spirit, Spiritual Growth, hearing God’s voice, Hearing God, Hearing Jesus, Praying, Pray, God’s Word, Scriptures Hearing Jesus, Knowing God's Voice, Female Prophets, Bible Study, Spiritual Growth, Christian Podcast, Faith Journey, Obedience, God's Communication, Personal Reflections, prophecy, faith, surrender, spiritual gifts, women's ministry, Christian podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Is the Prosperity Gospel a Biblical Principle? What the Bible Actually Teaches: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 128   Many of us are familiar with the term “prosperity gospel,” but what does Scripture actually say? Today we unpack a portion of Scripture that is sometimes used to perpetuate some false teaching. I pray this conversation blesses you.

Unless the Lord Builds the House- Recognizing God’s Hand of Blessing in Our Lives: Devotional Bible Study of Psalm 127 In today’s hustle culture, it can be easy to lose sight of God’s blessings in our lives and take the credit for those blessings ourselves. Today’s psalm serves as a powerful reminder that any good thing in our life is a gift from God. I pray this episode blesses you. Thoughts to Journal: Have you been guilty of taking the credit for the good things in your life that are actually blessings from God? Have you spent too much time building things that are temporary instead of things that are eternal? What are you currently building for the kingdom? Spend some time before the Lord today, carefully thinking through this topic, and write down what the Lord is saying to you.

Psalm 127:1 Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.  Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference?
