In this episode, Keana explores a freeing and deeply healing truth: you can hear God’s voice without rituals, pressure, or spiritual performance. Many of us were taught that God only speaks when we pray a certain way, behave a certain way, or follow a specific formula. But God’s voice isn’t earned, it's received through relationship.

This conversation builds on last week’s episode, Recognizing Legalism in the Church, and continues the journey of releasing fear‑based beliefs so you can reconnect with God’s heart in a gentle, authentic way.

• Why so many people believe rituals are required to hear God
• How legalism and church culture distort our understanding of God’s voice
• What hearing God actually looks and feels like
• The difference between God’s voice and fear‑based thoughts
• Barriers that make it hard to hear God
• Simple, non‑ritualistic ways to create space for God to speak
• How God meets you in ordinary, everyday moments

• Release the Ritual List — Let go of the rules you were taught about hearing God
• Gentle Listening Prayer — Ask God one simple question and sit with what comes
• Voice Comparison Exercise — Notice the difference between fear and love
• Peace Check — Pay attention to where peace shows up in your body
• Scripture Reframing — Read verses through the lens of God’s character

• What rituals did I believe I needed to hear God
• What fears come up when I try to listen for His voice
• When have I sensed God speaking in simple, ordinary ways
• What does God’s voice sound like to me
• What belief about hearing God am I ready to release

God doesn’t speak to you because you perform. He speaks because you belong to Him. You don’t have to earn His voice or follow rituals to be heard. God is already near, already speaking, and already welcoming you into a relationship.

Thank you for listening to this week’s episode of the Finding God Podcast. See you next week.
