Hearing God in Our Informational Echo Chambers

How to Decipher God’s Voice When We’re Drowning in Information Yet Thirsty for Transformation

This workshop will explore the pervasive problem of informational gluttony in Western culture and the church. We will explore how leaders can learn to hear Gods voice within that culture. We will present effective spiritual practices for individual and group discernment.
