Does God still speak directly to us today, or is his communication limited to Scripture alone? In this conversation, Tommie and Doug tackle a question that creates tension across theological traditions. While affirming that God speaks definitively through his revealed word, they explore the often-misunderstood realm of divine impressions, Spirit-led promptings, and the assurance God sometimes gives his people.
Through personal stories—including praying for an atheist friend’s conversion and sensing God’s leading about marriage—Doug offers a balanced approach that avoids both dead orthodoxy and dangerous mysticism. He explains why we must hold Scripture tightly whilst holding impressions loosely, and why saying “God told me” can be spiritually dangerous.
The discussion covers practical areas like discerning God’s will, the role of the church in confirming direction, and how the Spirit works through preaching. Whether you lean Reformed or Charismatic, this conversation will challenge you to think carefully about how God communes with his children today.
