Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick

Week 7: Chapter 6 — Hear and Now

Read Chapter 6 of Crash the Chatterbox. Key passages: John 10:27; Psalm 119:105; Romans 10:17.

After identifying the four lies, Furtick turns to the practical question of how you actually cultivate the habit of hearing God's voice above all the noise — not just in crisis moments but as a daily practice. These questions invite you to examine the rhythms and habits that shape what you hear.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Furtick argues that hearing God's voice is less about dramatic spiritual experiences and more about daily habits of attention — choosing to listen for Him in Scripture, prayer, and community. What current habits in your life most help you tune in to God's voice? What habits most drown it out?

2.Jesus said, 'My sheep hear my voice' (John 10:27). Furtick takes this as a promise and an invitation rather than a vague platitude. What would it mean for you to actively position yourself to hear — not just wait to hear — His voice today?

3.Romans 10:17 says 'faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.' Furtick places Scripture at the center of crashing the chatterbox. How regularly are you engaging with God's Word in a way that is feeding your faith rather than just fulfilling a religious obligation?

4.The chapter addresses the problem of spiritual noise — not just sinful distraction but even good, busy things that crowd out God's voice. What 'good' things in your life might be functioning as noise that keeps you from hearing clearly?

5.Furtick emphasizes that hearing God's voice is a community practice, not only a private one — that other believers speak truth into us that we cannot always speak to ourselves. Who in your life currently plays that role? Who do you play that role for?

Father, forgive us for letting the noise of life crowd You out — for being too busy, too distracted, or too comfortable with the chatter to seek Your voice. You speak. You have always spoken. Teach us to be the kind of people who have ears to hear. Make Your Word alive in us as we read it — not just ink on a page but a living voice that crashes every lie and confirms every promise. And help us to be voices of truth for one another, speaking life where the chatterbox speaks death. Amen.
