Samuel's Mantle : How to Hear, See and Sense God's Voice (Prophetic, Prayer, Christian Ministry)

Why doesn't God always speak in plain words? In this episode, Murray explores one of the greatest keys to hearing God's voice—learning to value symbolic language. Discover how our paradigms, beliefs, and life experiences can limit what we perceive, and why God often chooses dreams, visions, parables, and symbols to lead us on a journey of discovery rather than simply handing us the answers. Drawing from Scripture, practical examples, and powerful stories, you'll learn: Why symbolic language is woven throughout the Bible. How what you value determines what you notice. The connection between dreams, parables, and spiritual growth. Why God invites us to seek, search, and discover His heart. How symbolic language transforms not only our understanding, but our hearts. If you've ever wondered why God seems to speak in pictures, dreams, impressions, or seemingly mysterious ways, this episode will help you recognize the wisdom behind Heaven's language and encourage you to begin valuing it in your own life.

Why would Judas betray the very Messiah he had followed for three years? In this episode, Murray brings the investigation to its dramatic conclusion by examining one of the most debated questions in Scripture. Looking through the lens of first-century Jewish expectations, he explores the possibility that Judas didn't stop believing in Jesus—he simply misunderstood what kind of Messiah Jesus had come to be. By following the biblical clues, you'll discover how false paradigms and misplaced expectations can distort our understanding of God's purposes, influence our decisions, and keep us from recognizing His plans. More importantly, you'll see why this isn't just Judas' story—it's a challenge for every believer to examine the lenses through which we see God. In this episode, you'll discover: A fresh perspective on why Judas betrayed Jesus. How false paradigms shaped Judas' decisions. Why misplaced expectations can lead sincere believers astray.

Why did so many people miss the Messiah they had been waiting for? In this episode, Murray continues the investigation into Judas' betrayal by examining the expectations that shaped an entire generation. Through Old Testament prophecies and the culture of first-century Israel, he reveals why the people, the disciples, the Pharisees, and even Herod were expecting a political Messiah who would overthrow Rome and establish an earthly kingdom. As the evidence unfolds, you'll discover how deeply held expectations became invisible lenses that influenced the way people interpreted Scripture, understood Jesus' miracles, and responded to His mission. The problem wasn't a lack of evidence—it was a paradigm that prevented them from seeing what God was actually doing. In this episode, you'll discover: Why first-century Jews expected a political Messiah. How expectations shape the way we read Scripture. Why even Jesus' closest followers struggled to understand His mission. How false paradigms can keep us from recognizing God's work. Why understanding these expectations is essential to understanding Judas' actions.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to recognize God's voice and activity while others completely miss it? The answer may not be that God isn't speaking—it may be the "glasses" you're wearing.

Through the stories of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Peter, Judas, and Jesus' use of parables, you'll discover how false paradigms can create spiritual blind spots that keep us from recognizing what God is doing right in front of us. You'll learn why renewing your mind is more than changing your thoughts—it's learning to remove the invisible lenses that distort reality. As those old paradigms are replaced with God's perspective, you'll begin to see Scripture, life, and the voice of God with fresh clarity. In this episode you'll discover: How paradigms influence your ability to hear God. Why sincere believers can still misunderstand His voice. The difference between hearing through your own assumptions and hearing through the Spirit. Why Jesus often spoke in symbols and parables.

In this powerful Season 2 finale, Tricia and Murray explore the biblical truth that worship, peace, and abiding in God are powerful acts of spiritual authority.

Have you ever wondered who you really are beneath the expectations, responsibilities, and labels you've accumulated over the years? In this deeply reflective episode, Tricia and Murray explore one of life’s most important questions: Who did God create you to be? Before you were born, God knew you intimately. The Gospel of John tells us that all life originated in Him, and Psalm 139 reveals that God knit you together in your mother’s womb and wrote every day of your life in His book before one of them came to be. Your life is not random. You were created with purpose, intention, and divine design. In this episode, we look at the most common regrets people express near the end of life—working too much, neglecting relationships, suppressing who they truly were, failing to take risks, and postponing happiness. These reflections point to a powerful truth: the greatest regrets are often not about what we did, but about who we failed to become. Together, we ask soul-searching questions such as: Who is the real me? What am I passionate about? What dreams have I buried? What would I pursue if fear were not a factor? What mission has God placed within me? What legacy do I want to leave behind? This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your authentic self—the person God envisioned before you were born. If you've ever felt disconnected from your purpose or uncertain about your calling, this conversation will help you begin uncovering the unique destiny written over your life.
