How God Speaks: Unpacking the Burning Bush

Sep 18, 2025    Dr. Roger Patterson, Ben Hays, Chris DeArman

In this powerful episode, we're talking about a timeless question: How does God speak? Using the rich, dramatic story of Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3:1-10, we uncover the principles of divine revelation and the nature of our response. We discuss how God's silence in the Old Testament sets the stage for a watershed moment where He speaks directly, fulfilling ancient promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.


This conversation isn't just about biblical history; it's about what God wants to tell you. We unpack the significance of God knowing Moses's name, His call to prepare ourselves to listen ("take off your sandals"), and how He reveals His plans in snapshots, not full essays. We also share personal stories about how we hear from God—through Scripture, during quiet times, or even in unexpected moments like a trip or a late-night thought.


Whether you're a long-time believer or someone just starting to wonder about God, this episode offers practical, relatable insights into recognizing and responding to God's voice in your life today.
