A Guidebook To Hearing God's Voice w/Jonna Schuster | E218 Lila Rose Show

Have you ever prayed, hoping to hear from God—and heard nothing? Maybe you’ve thought God only speaks rarely, and only through dramatic signs. Today, we’re clearing up those misconceptions with Jonna Schuster, expert in listening prayer and author of Hearing God's Voice: A Catholic Guide to Listening Prayer.

Jonna reminds us of what Scripture says: We are His sheep, and His sheep know His voice. God wants to speak to you—daily. And learning to hear Him is essential for your joy and spiritual growth.

She’s sharing a simple, powerful playbook:
– How to recognize a potential message from God
– How to discern if it’s truly from Him
– And how to respond in a way that bears real fruit and keeps the conversation going

You might be surprised—hearing God’s voice may be more ordinary than you think.

This episode is packed with wisdom that could change your prayer life forever. I’m so honored to welcome Jonna to the show—and after you listen, let us know: What’s God been saying to you lately?
