A Slower Way to Listen: Hearing God with Wisdom, Patience, and Trust

A Slower Way to Listen

A Guided Spiritual Formation Experience
Discernment, Wisdom, and Learning the Pace of God

Most of us want to hear God clearly—but we often try to listen too quickly.

We live in a world shaped by urgency: decide fast, move forward, resolve uncertainty. Scripture invites us into a different posture—one where wisdom is formed slowly through attentiveness, trust, and patience.

A Slower Way to Listen is a guided spiritual formation experience designed to help you slow down, quiet the noise, and listen with God—without pressure, fear, or the need to force clarity.

This is not a podcast episode or an extended sermon.
It is a guided formation experience created for stillness, prayer, and discernment—meant to be engaged slowly, not consumed quickly.

This package includes:

• A guided audio formation experience that leads you gently through Scripture, reflection, silence, and prayer—helping you cultivate attentiveness rather than urgency

• A thoughtfully designed PDF companion that supports ongoing formation through Scripture, reflection prompts, and listening practices you can return to over time

Together, the audio and guide create space for God to form wisdom—not through haste or self-pressure, but through presence, trust, and faithful attention.

Inside this experience, you’ll explore:

• Why God often speaks and leads more slowly than we expect
• The difference between discernment and self-critique
• How wisdom forms through patience, trust, and attentiveness
• Why waiting is often a place of formation, not failure
• Gentle practices that help you listen without forcing answers

This resource is designed to be revisited.
You may move through it in one sitting—or return to it across days or weeks. There are no outcomes to achieve here—only a posture to receive. Scripture, silence, and prayer do the work God intends them to do.

If you feel rushed in your listening…
If discernment has begun to feel heavy or anxious…
If you sense God inviting you to trust His pace rather than resist it…

A Slower Way to Listen is an invitation to stay close, slow down, and learn to hear God with wisdom, patience, and trust.
