Our internal monologue can sometimes be a one-sided conversation. Not to mention distractions that can leave us disconnected from deeper voices—especially God’s. The spiritual practice of study — listening for God through Scripture and other sources of wisdom — invites us into a two-way conversation, revealing God’s love, wisdom, and guidance. Alongside Scripture, God also speaks through creation, science, relationships, and even unexpected moments, inviting us to see truth and beauty everywhere. We acknowledge the challenges of studying Scripture—misuse, confusion, and harm caused by misinterpretation—but emphasize that God’s voice always leads to love, as revealed in Jesus. Using tools like the Wesleyan Quadrilateral (Scripture, Tradition, Reason, Experience), we approach these sources thoughtfully, testing what we hear through the lens of Christ’s message. Finally, we explore Lectio Divina, a practice of prayerfully reading Scripture, alongside the discipline of open-hearted curiosity in all learning. By engaging with wisdom in all the ways we find it, we cultivate a rhythm of listening to God’s voice, transforming our minds and equipping us to live with deeper purpose, compassion, and grace.
