Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Shirer argues that from creation itself — the stars, the seasons, the human conscience — God has been broadcasting His presence and character. How have you personally experienced God speaking through creation or general revelation? Have you ever dismissed those moments as coincidence?
2.Hebrews 1:1–2 says God spoke "at many times and in many ways" through the prophets, and has now spoken through His Son. What does it mean that Jesus is Himself the ultimate and final Word of God? How does this shape what we should expect when we seek to hear from God?
3.Shirer makes the case that the real problem is rarely that God isn't speaking — it's that we aren't positioned to hear. What are the most common things in your daily life that crowd out attentiveness to God's voice?
