Faith for Everyday
Faith for Everyday is a daily podcast dedicated to guiding youth through modern challenges with timeless Biblical wisdom. Each approximately 10-minute episode offers scriptural insights and practical encouragement to strengthen faith in everyday life. New episodes are released daily.
Spending time in God’s Word is essential for spiritual growth, yet many people struggle with where to start. Some feel intimidated by the Bible’s depth, while others become discouraged or overwhelmed by life’s challenges. If you’ve ever felt that way, this devotional is for you.
"Faith for Every Day" is designed as a simple yet powerful guide to help you engage with Scripture daily. You don’t have to start on January 1st—this podcast is meant to be picked up at any time of the year. Each daily devotion stands on its own, addressing real-life struggles while pointing you back to God’s truth.
Throughout this journey, we will explore topics such as anxiety, depression, rejection, and uncertainty—struggles that are all too common today. But you’re not alone. The Bible is filled with stories of people who faced similar challenges and found strength in God. By looking at their experiences, we can find encouragement, hope, and guidance for our own lives.
Whether you’re a new believer seeking direction or a seasoned Christian looking for fresh inspiration, this podcast will meet you where you are. My prayer is that as you go through these devotionals, you will be encouraged to dig deeper into God’s Word, grow in faith, and draw closer to Him daily.
Let’s embark on this journey together—one day at a time, one step closer to God.

Hearing The Shepherd
Ever felt like God must be speaking to someone more qualified than you? We dig into John 10:27—“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”—and uncover a simple, hopeful truth: if you belong to Jesus, you are wired to recognize His voice. Not as a rare event reserved for leaders, but as a steady, relational reality that can guide ordinary choices in an over-noised world.
We start by naming the interference: social feeds, hot takes, and constant urgency that blur discernment. Then we slow down and show how the Shepherd’s voice often comes—through a verse that won’t let go, a quiet nudge to wait or go, a lyric that lands at the right time, or a moment of stillness that interrupts our rush. Along the way, we offer three anchors to test guidance: Scripture as the tuning fork, Christlike character as the tone, and Spirit-shaped fruit as the outcome. If a prompting pulls you toward humility, repentance, courage, and love, you’re likely close to the frequency. If it fuels pride, fear, or shortcuts, that’s noise.
We also lean into the intimacy at the heart of the promise: “I know them.” Guidance is personal but not private. We encourage weighing impressions in community, inviting prayer, and submitting big decisions to wisdom. Most importantly, we connect hearing to following. Obedience is not a bonus feature; it’s how clarity grows. With simple practices—two minutes of silence, a slow reading of Scripture, a written prayer, one concrete step of obedience—you can move from inspiration to direction with a calm, confident heart.
If your week feels loud and your soul feels thin, this conversation offers gentle structure and solid footing. Subscribe for more faith practices you can live today, share this with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review with one way you’re learning to hear and follow.
Knowing God's voice, John ten, twenty-seven. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John chapter ten, verse twenty-seven. Hello and welcome to day two hundred and eighty-three of Faith for Everyday. Today we are listening in on a conversation between the shepherd and his sheep. Jesus says in John 10 27, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. This is not poetry, this is a spiritual reality. God speaks and his people hear. In the noise of our world, there are voices pulling us in every direction. Social media, news circles, opinions, fears, temptations. But in the midst of it all, there is one that cuts through the chaos, the voice of the shepherd. And Jesus says, My sheep hear my voice, that means you can hear him. Not just pastors, not just elders, not just those with seminary degrees. If you belong to him, you can know his voice. Now, let us clear something up. God's voice is not always audible. Often, it is that quiet staring in your heart, that verse that will not leave your mind. That check in your spirit that says wait or go. Sometimes he speaks through scripture, sometimes through a song, sometimes through a moment of silence that gently arrests your attention. But make no mistake, he is speaking. The question is not if God is speaking, but are we listening? Jesus continues. I know them. There is intimacy here. He is not a stranger calling to the crowd. He is a shepherd calling each sheep by name. He knows your thoughts, he knows your history, he knows your voice, and wants you to know his. And then he says, They follow me. Hearing his voice is not just for inspiration, it is for direction. True hearing leads to following. Obedience provides the relationship. Today, take time to quiet the noise. Set aside a few moments just to listen. Open your Bible and ask the Lord to speak through it. Sit in stillness and invite his voice to arrest the noise around you and his voice to rise above the rest. If you belong to him, you can hear him. Do not second guess it. Just draw near and tune in. Thank you for joining me for day 283 of faith for every day. The voice of the Lord is not a mystery, it is a promise. His sheep hear his voice. May your ears be open and your heart be ready to follow. Until tomorrow, keep listening. Thank you very much for listening.
