Sounds of God: Recognizing His Voice

In this episode of He Hears Even the Cricket in the Corner, Sam and Cricket dive deep into the spiritual practice of listening for God’s voice—especially in the quiet moments. Drawing from personal experiences, late-night awakenings, and Scripture, they explore how God speaks through whispers, Scripture, nature, and even sleepless nights.

Just as Samuel was called in the night and had to learn to discern the Lord’s voice, so too must we train our ears to recognize when God is speaking—even if it interrupts our sleep or disrupts our plans.

With honesty and spiritual clarity, Sam and Cricket reflect on:

• The spiritual discipline of stillness—making intentional time to hear God's voice amidst daily distractions (John 10:27, 1 Samuel 3:1–10).

• Why busyness often robs us of divine moments—and how God's mercy still meets us when we don't make time for Him.

• The unique way God calls us individually—through Scripture, internal conviction, nature, or even another person’s words.

• The tension between resisting and submitting—how avoiding God's answer can delay peace and direction (James 1:5–6).

• Cricket’s testimony of late-night wake-ups and how God meets her in the still hours with revelation and strength.

• Sam’s confession of being “too busy to listen” and how God lovingly interrupted him with a much-needed word.

Challenge:
When was the last time you slowed down enough to hear from God?
This week, make time—without distractions—to be still and attentive. Whether it’s 2 a.m. or during a quiet walk, listen for His voice. He’s already speaking. The question is—are you listening?
