How to Tell God's Voice From Your Own Thoughts | Confirming What You Hear

Have you ever wondered if that was God speaking, or just your own thoughts? In this conversation, recorded live at NRB 2026, Dale Mast shares practical, biblical ways to tell the difference between God's voice and your own mind, so you can stop second-guessing and respond with confidence when you sense the Lord leading you. So many of us freeze on this one question. We want to obey God, but we're afraid of mistaking our own reasoning, our emotions, or wishful thinking for His voice. Dale walks through how to recognize when God is speaking, how to test what you're hearing against Scripture, and how that confidence grows the more you walk with Him.
