“The God Who Still Speaks: Hearing, Trusting, and Walking in the Voice of the Father”

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Voices of Revival, host Bradley Higgins reconnects with Brandon Heming—returning guest from Episode 1—for a Spirit-led conversation about hearing the voice of God, walking in intimacy, and shedding the “event” mentality that has boxed in so much of the modern church. Ten weeks may have passed since Brandon’s first appearance, but the spiritual ground he’s covered in that time is nothing short of supernatural.

The conversation opens with a heart check: have we paused long enough to see what God has already done? Brandon reminds us of Genesis 1—where God paused, saw what He had done, and declared it good. In a culture obsessed with what’s next, the episode invites listeners to return to a posture of rest and thankfulness. They explore the rest promised in Hebrews 3–4 and the freedom that comes when we stop to breathe in God’s goodness.

As the conversation unfolds, Bradley and Brandon take listeners deep into the realm of hearing God's voice—not as a rare prophetic moment reserved for platforms, but as a daily, life-giving experience. They unpack the difference between Logos (the written word) and Rhema (the spoken word), revealing how both work in tandem to guide believers in the everyday. Through testimonies, dreams, journaling practices, and visions, Brandon testifies that learning to hear God’s voice radically shifted the entire trajectory of his life and ministry.

What sets this episode apart is its raw authenticity. Brandon shares moments of overwork, missed turns, and the danger of running ahead of God’s timing—only to find His voice gently calling him back to rest, yoking him once again to the rhythms of grace. One moment in particular captures the heart of the entire episode: a vulnerable reminder of how God views us beyond our performance.

“If everything you planned for Me failed today, I’d still be right here, telling you how proud I am of you and how much I love you—because My love for you isn’t based on what you do. It’s based on who you are.”
