\\xa0
As Christians, we want to hear God\\u2019s voice, but how do we know it\\u2019s actually Him speaking? We second-guess a decision or direction, or we put out another proverbial fleece, or we wait for a bright light or booming voice \\u2014 that never comes. Our guests break down their own challenges in hearing from God, including overcoming the paralysis of not knowing who or what to believe.

In part two of our conversation, Drew talks about The Habit Loop, relying on God\\u2019s strength, and how to beat technology addiction.\\xa0
