8 | Can I Trust My Desires? How to Discern God's Voice in What You Want

Is God speaking to you through something you want—or is your heart leading you astray? In this episode of Hearing God Daily, we’re diving deep into the complex and often confusing topic of desire. Can you trust your heart? Should you follow your longings when making big decisions—like pursuing a calling, choosing a partner, or stepping into a new season?

We’ll explore:

• What Scripture says about our hearts and desires—before and after salvation

• Why our desires can sometimes be trustworthy, and other times misleading

• How to practically discern whether a desire is from God

• The tension of waiting, surrendering, or acting on what you want

• Real-life encouragement to walk closely with God in the midst of uncertainty

With biblical insight, and practical tools, this conversation will help you grow in wisdom and confidence as you learn to hear God’s voice—even in your desires.

If you're navigating a big decision or wrestling with what your heart is telling you, this episode is for you.
