Hearing God Without Putting Words in His Mouth

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!


Have you ever wondered if that strong "gut feeling" is your intuition speaking, or if it's actually the Holy Spirit?


This week on the Praying Christian Women podcast, Alana and Jaime tackle the complex and often confusing differences between human intuition and Holy Spirit discernment—and why confusing the two can actually be spiritually dangerous.


In this episode, Alana and Jaime dive into the all-too-common Christian habit of "over-spiritualizing" our personal choices. They unpack the danger of using the phrase "God told me" to justify our own desires, make excuses for being flaky, or shut down disagreements. They explain why making God the "fall guy" for our decisions or personality quirks can border on taking His name in vain, and why it's perfectly okay to just want things without slapping a divine stamp on them!


Jaime also shares the personal story of her family's move to Alaska, revealing how she used scripture to seek confirmation when she wasn't sure if the decision was driven by personal desire or a divine calling. Together, they explore the beautiful truth that intuition is a God-given gift designed to protect and guide us, and why honoring your gut instincts (like sensing an unsafe situation) doesn't have to conflict with your faith.


You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on the incredible freedom we have in Christ, a comforting reminder of God's joyful and loving character, and practical wisdom on how to seek clarity when you aren't sure whose voice you're hearing.
