How can I learn to
hear God better?

Because God is always present with us - whether we’re sleeping for eating, working or relaxing, worshipping or doing mundane chores - conversation with God can be a normal part of life. That’s why Jesus invites us: “Come to me, learn from me, abide in me.” When we struggle to hear God, we slow down and just enjoy being with God. In this retreat, learn how to cultivate quietness, listen to God and the tone of that divine voice, and hear God in the Word.
