#418 The "God Told Me" Trap: Challenging How Christians Make Decisions | Greg Koukl

“God told me.” “I felt led by the Spirit.” “God gave me a peace about it.” We hear Christians say these things all the time. But is this really how God guides us? Are we supposed to look for signs, nudges, impressions, and confirmations to figure out His will for our lives? Or have we embraced a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink” approach to hearing God's voice that isn't actually taught in Scripture?

Apologist Greg Koukl joins me to challenge some deeply ingrained assumptions about how God speaks to Christians. We examine the Bible verses commonly used to support this approach, what it really means to be led by the Spirit, and how Christians should actually make decisions. Plus, I share a personal story I've never told publicly about a time I believed God spoke directly to me—and why I interpret that experience differently today.

Could our obsession with hearing God's voice actually be distracting us from what He's already said in His Word?
