Week 2

Week 2 Lecture

Throughout this week Paul Childers and his wife Susi were guest speakers during lecture. These classes were focused on hearing the voice of God and obeying. In summary, we were given pointers on trusting the Lord at all costs. God speaks to us in ordinary life, sometimes out of the box and others through dreams and visions. The Holy Spirit can inspire specific tools such as the Bible (intuition), wisdom from others, and pastor’s input with spiritual authority. If you’ve read “Screw tape letters” by C.S. Lewis then you may also know that the world provides many distractions. Doubt, past experiences of being wounded, and not understanding or getting wrapped up in theology are just a few we discussed. Above all Jesus wants us to transform from “religion” into a “relationship”. There are 12 different principles we went over in class that help as a referral to what we may need to really understand hearing the voice of God. (If you want I can email or post them, just let Jen or I know.)


This week we have started reading “Making Jesus Lord” by Loren Cunningham. So far, a few chapters in, I have put together that the greatest word coming to mind is idolatry. We put all kinds of stuff in front of God. Work/careers, finances, and even family just to name a few… I’ll get back with you later as we finish the book and come up with a formal opinion.
