Are You Listening When God Speaks to You?
Zechariah was just an ordinary priest going through the motions when God broke His silence in the temple. His story reminds us that God often speaks to common people in uncommon ways—but our response determines everything. When God’s Word comes to us today through Scripture, will we believe it like we would believe an angel, or will we, like Zechariah, respond in doubt? Read now.

Episode 1: God Breaks His Silence
Focused Discipleship
#Sale — The Westminster Bookstore has a great collection of Bibles on sale.
#Personal — The “to-love list” helps you steward relationships by mapping the people you care about and setting reasonable communication frequencies to ensure no one gets neglected. (Alternatively, watch it on YouTube.)
#Marriage — These five winning plays—from scheduling non-negotiable dates to going to bed at the same time—help you stay connected with your wife in the chaos of raising busy kids.
#Parenting — Explaining the gospel simply means framing it as a rescue story with a loving King, a real enemy, and a Rescuer who died and rose to set us free.
#Church — Starting with limited resources forces dependency on God that makes ministry authentic—building genuine relationships and developing leaders instead of relying on programs or production.
#Work — God designed us to waste time with people. Unstructured, unproductive hours spent simply being present forge the deep relationships that reflect Christ’s command to love one another.
#Pastor — Understanding why people resist change and learning to build trust first, start small, and honor the past helps you lead necessary transitions without blowing up your church.
