Episode 13: Hearing God Clearly Starts with a Healed Soul
Show Notes
Episode 13 | Season 02
Episode Summary
In her first-ever guest episode, Asia sits down with Pastor Stacey Kelley Thompson, author, minister, and her own aunt, for a conversation on the connection between a healed soul and a clear ability to hear from God. Stacey unpacks what she calls "spiritual amnesia," the fragmentation that happens as life wounds the soul through rejection, trauma, and church hurt, and why hearing God clearly starts with tending to that wound rather than working around it. The conversation moves through the prophetic, what it actually is, why it's become such a trending topic, and the responsibility that sits on both the hearer and the one prophesying, before landing on a challenge to move from working for God to truly knowing Him.
