Hearing Jesus
Rachael Groll
Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.
Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?
Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I too was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I too felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.
The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.
Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.
The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.
Join me for your weekly dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.

In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew. Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

437// Jesus’ Guide to Greatness: Humility and Sacrifice- Devotional, Bible Study Matthew 20
Jesus was counter-cultural in so many ways, including his perspective on leadership. In today’s study, we see the disciples make some bold requests, and then learn from Jesus how to truly lead in the kingdom- and it’s not what they expect.

436// Who Is First and Who Is Last In God’s Kingdom? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 20:1-16
In this passage of Scripture, Jesus is helping his listeners understand something essential about his kingdom: that the gospel is lavishly generous, in a way that for someone struggling with self-righteousness, might feel very unfair.

What Does Jesus Say About Wealth? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:16-30
November 28, 2023 - 14 min
435// What Does Jesus Say About Wealth? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:16-30
We’re wrapping up chapter 19 in the Gospel of Matthew by looking closely at what Jesus had to say about riches and the kingdom of God. While there is nothing wrong with having nice things, they should not get in the way of your relationship with God. Chasing after wealth should not be our goal. But as we’ll see in today’s passage, Jesus had some pretty radical things to say about riches. Let’s study scripture together and unpack God’s Word, applying it to our lives.

What Does Jesus Say About Divorce? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:1-15
November 27, 2023 - 21 min
434// What Does Jesus Say About Divorce? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 19:1-15
As we make our way through the Gospel of Matthew, today we are diving into Jesus’ teaching on divorce. This is a topic that is widely debated within the body of Christ. I'm sure you've been part of or heard some of those conversations yourself, but what we see here is that this is a topic that was debated even in Jesus' time. The Pharisees during the time of Jesus had this as a topic of confusion because it was really two schools of thought. Let’s study the Scripture together and learn what Jesus had to say about divorce and how we can apply that teaching to our lives today.

How That Nightly Glass of Wine Can Keep Us From Hearing God's Voice
For today's episode, I wanted to air a conversation I had with my friend Christy Osborne to talk about the wine culture many women find themselves in. Christy explains how alcohol can rob us of our joy, despite the fact that we can sometimes go to it to find joy. Christy shares from her personal story and shares some biblical insight that I am sure will bless you.

432// How to Forgive Like Jesus: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 18:21-35
In today’s Bible story, Peter asks a question about forgiveness, and Jesus’ answer was as radical then as it is today. The forgiveness of our Father is unconditional, and he expects our forgiveness of others to be like his. How can we do this? Listen to today’s study of Scripture and find out.

Childish vs. Childlike Faith: What's The Difference? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 18:1-20
November 22, 2023 - 22 min
431// Childish vs. Childlike Faith: What's The Difference? Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 18:1-20
In order for Christ to transform us from the inside out and to transform our character, our attitude towards him has to be like a child. But what does it mean to have childlike faith - and how is that different than childishness? That’s what we’re going to study in today’s Bible reading and devotional around Matthew 18, along with Jesus’ warning not to cause those of childlike faith to stumble - we’ll unpack that and more in today’s study of God’s Word.

From Fear to Freedom: How the Gospel Changes Everything
November 17, 2023 - 42 min
428// From Fear to Freedom: How the Gospel Changes Everything
On today's episode, I asked my friend Jey Mbiro to join me to talk about his experience with how the gospel can replace fear with freedom.
Jey grew up in the slums of Nairobi and was jailed as a child for stealing food. He experienced the horrors of slum life, extreme poverty, and extreme hunger before being enrolled in Compassion International's sponsorship program. His life was changed when he was introduced to a relationship with Jesus. He now lives in Atlanta, leads a non-profit in Kenya, and is the dad of two daughters.
Join us as we unpack the ways that the gospel changes everything.
