Excellent episode! I’m growing in my own spiritual journey and before listening to this podcast I was reading my devotion and it talked about being still. And Tara hit it right on the mark being still staying present, quiet and rejoice in the Lord. So today confirmed that I need to dedicate more time to spend with God not just at night but to guide me throughout my day and really hear him.
And Jay you made an excellent point. I believe God speaks to me thru other people, however, I’ve gotten confirmation from Him by literally feeing the Holy Spirit. I could feel that He was talking to me. Even you saying Jesus never said “I thought my Father said” instead He said “My Father said” I knew I felt the Holy Spirit more recently I answered an Altar Call at my friend’s Church it was nothing but the Holy Spirit that led me up there to receive Him and really start building my relationship with God. Such a convicting moment for me!
I am still growing spiritually and I know God sees that I am letting Him in my life more and more each day. So I thank you both Tara and Jay for this amazing episode! God speaks to us in many way it’s just about being patient, still and present!
Have a blessed day both of you!

Hey Yamileé! Thank you so much for listening to this episode with Tara.
Yes, Tara definitely is right about us being willing to be still and spend private time with God.
It’s amazing how God confirms things for us. He is so AWESOME!!!
That’s such a blessing that you were able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His instruction!
I’m still growing spiritually too. Thankfully, we are not on this journey alone.
Thank you again for listening and being willing to share your thoughts and takeaways with us.
