It Started With a Question

The God Conversations ministry began with a question when I was 21 years old.

Growing up in church, I knew that God had a plan for my life, but my faith still felt like a list of ideas somebody else believed in. Then I met a friend who talked about hearing God’s voice. Though I’d read stories of God speaking in Scripture, I’d never met someone who’d experienced the Holy Spirit’s revelation personally. I was intrigued. But I also had a lot of questions. What did God sound like? How would you know if it was God? What difference would hearing the Spirit make to my life?

So I decided to pray: “God speak to me, and if you make it clear, I’ll do whatever you say.”

Needless to say, God answered my prayer. The Holy Spirit spoke clearly and I did what God said (with some trepidation!) The answers I received became the signposts of an unlikely journey that began with working in the South Pacific supporting missionaries, teaching students sport and caring for youth-at-risk.

Then at 26, God called me into full-time ministry. At the time I had no idea what that meant. In my conservative background, women weren’t allowed to be pastors. Back then, my ‘career’ aspirations amounted to perfecting a chocolate triple-layer torte and sewing the mitered corners of a patchwork quilt.

So it was back to study and a Masters degree, before pioneering a church in a beachside suburb of Melbourne. Later I worked in ministry training colleges in Melbourne and Sydney.

Then God spoke again; “Your job is to take everything you’ve learnt about hearing my voice and pass it onto others.” So in 2008, the ministry of God Conversations was born.

The ministry has taken me to churches, conferences, media studios and community centres around the world. It later led me to complete a PhD in the theology and practise of hearing God’s voice.

Hearing God’s voice not only led me to unexpected places, but drew out the best of who I am. This is God’s heart is for every person. God’s words are powerful and transformative, revealing a God who is eminently personal, creative and surprisingly funny. Equipping others to hear the voice of God and follow it is what drives me today.

My prayer and the prayer of my team is that you will recognise the voice of God in your own life, and in doing so, find the courage to follow.
