Are you hearing God clearly but still feeling distant or stuck? In today’s episode of the Prescription for Purpose podcast, we close our series on communicating with God by unpacking the most overlooked step after you hear Him: your response.

We get practical about why many of us “leave God on read,” how shame quietly fuels avoidance, and how to retrain your brain to move from avoidance to approach so intimacy isn’t blocked. Sharla breaks down a simple, repeatable process that turns recognition into faithful follow-through.

You’ll learn:

Why biblically “hearing” always includes obeying—recognition without response isn’t hearing.
How shame (identity-level “I am wrong”) triggers hiding—and how to meet the need beneath the feeling.
The difference between avoidance motivation (self-protection) and approach motivation (connection/growth).
A four-step framework to retrain your reflexes: Name what’s happening → Name what you need → Take one small action → Repeat daily.
How “mastering the mundane” (consistency) rewires your response patterns and builds intimacy.

If you’ve been spiritually aware but emotionally avoidant, this episode will help you close the loop—stop hiding, start following, and keep the conversation with God alive through consistent, grace-filled action.
