   • […] I want to share with you all my most recent experiance with the “whisper of God”. I went down to watch my mother graduate from her correctional facility boot camp. She is an educational technition in a corrections facility. After the cerimony, we had to go pick up my mothers 1989 Grand Caravan. Appearently it broke down right when she got to town. Now this is a good thing because that means my mother was not stranded in the middle of nowhere. So we get to her van and I ask if I can check it out first before we call the tow truck. Most of you know I can fix most anything. So to make a long story short….um, ok to make it shorter than it could be,  I fixed my mother’s van, I missed a meeting that I planned, and my mom ended up spending the night at our house.  Listen to what God whispered…come closer…closer…good.  “Family is more important than work“, by missing the meeting I made a commitment to my mother to get her home, safely and cheaply. I am also confident that the meeting went better with out me. Someday I will tell you why that makes sence. “Your mother needs to see your heart, as well as hear your words“,  I never got irritated that I had to “save the day” or take time to fix a problem that wasn’t mine. I did not complain about being late, but embraced the time together. I was without burden. “Trust me with your mother“. God allowed me to share my faith with my mother in a way that has never happened before! She just listened. No debate, no rebutle. She just listened! “Embrace what I have given to you” My mother is almost 60, and my children are growing fast. Usually my mother just wants to “push on through” to get home, so she never spends more than a few minutes with my children. Even when she comes here specifically to visit, it always seems to last less than two hours and off she goes to “get home before dark”. This is not to say I am complaining or she is doing anything wrong, it just seems like life is moving way to fast. But this morning, my children woke up with Grans there and they ate scrambled eggs together. Our time together was priceless. […]

   • Greg, What a blessing Dare 2 Share has been for me and my students… I picked up your book and read it in about a 48-hour period. I’ve been in youth ministry for 15 years and needed to hear the whisper of God. The frustrations Ty realized are very similar to what I have been encountering. My thoughts were close to his and I was planning on resigning in January ‘07. Since reading this book I have really sought out God and felt hungry to teach these "back to basic" truths. My time has now been spent on working all of these truths into our 2007 youth ministry. Thank you for reminding me why I started this 15 years ago!  Blessings, Mike

   • Greg, the book is great! This chapter confronted me with a harsh reality in my life. With the business of ministry, rather the excuse of business, I have seen the need to hear God’s whisper. I often teach and preach about this very thing, but struggle to practice it in my own life. Thanks for reminding me of such an important truth! Mike C

   • How does God communicate with you?                   Audibly Verbally,                   confirmation of other believers,                   answered prayers,                   dreams and visions,                   autonomic nervous system responses When were you able to differentiate between your voice and His? What were your steps to listening to him  whisper?
