  How Do You Know When God Is Speaking? 20.07.2026 8min

  Have you ever prayed for direction and then wondered, “Was that God speaking—or was that just my own thought?”In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise shares how we can learn to recognize God’s voice in the middle of uncertainty, grief, decision-making, waiting, and everyday life.Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” But how do we know when what we are sensing is truly from God?This episode explores the importance of testing everything against Scripture, listening for the Holy Spirit’s conviction, making room for stillness, seeking wise biblical counsel, and surrendering our own desires to God’s will.God’s voice will never contradict His Word. His leading will always draw us toward truth, obedience, love, and a deeper dependence on Him.Sometimes His answer is clear. Sometimes His answer is to wait. And sometimes He gives us only enough grace for the next step.Key Scriptures: John 10:27, Psalm 46:10, 1 Kings 19:11–12, and Philippians 4:7The more deeply we know the Shepherd, the more clearly we will recognize His voice in every season.

  Have You Been Born of God? 13.07.2026 5min

  Everyone is born once—but Jesus taught that we must also be born again.In John 3, Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born of the Spirit. Being born of God is not about becoming more religious, attending church, or simply believing that God exists. It is about receiving new life through faith in Jesus Christ.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, Denise explains what it means to be born again, how salvation is received by grace through faith, and why this question matters for eternity.You’ll also hear why this message is deeply personal to Denise, especially after witnessing her son place his trust in Jesus before he entered eternity.If you have ever wondered what it truly means to be saved, made new, or become a child of God, this episode offers a clear and hope-filled invitation to know Jesus personally.Key Scriptures: John 3:3–7, John 3:16, and 2 Corinthians 5:17You cannot earn salvation. It is a gift of grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ.Have you been born of God?

  What Are You Carrying That God Never Asked You to Carry? 06.07.2026 3min

  What are you carrying today that God never asked you to carry?Many of us walk through life weighed down by burdens Jesus never intended us to bear—grief, anxiety, fear, guilt, regret, unanswered questions, and the pressure to hold everything together.In this episode of Grace in Every Season, we’ll look at Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28:“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”Jesus isn’t asking you to figure everything out before you come to Him. He simply invites you to lay your burdens at His feet and trust Him with what you cannot carry alone.If your heart feels heavy today, I pray this episode reminds you that you don’t have to carry it by yourself. There is rest, hope, and peace in Christ.💛 If this episode encourages you, please follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs this reminder today.Truth. Grace. Hope. For the journey.~ Denise Schwabe, CHHC
