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.

You started the year with good intentions, but they were short-lived. Now more than halfway through 2023, all of your goals, resolutions, and \\u201cI\\u2019ll do betters\\u201d have fallen by the wayside. Fortunately, author Drew Dyck is here to help. He\\u2019s consulted both the Bible and brain science to find out why self-control is so hard, but also how we can strategically build the muscle to help us form good habits that will go the distance. In part two of our conversation, Drew talks about The Habit Loop, relying on God\\u2019s strength, and how to beat technology addiction.\\xa0
