The Roller Coaster Revisited: Blessings, Consequences, and the Power of Hearkening

Have you experienced the blessings of hearkening unto God, or felt the consequences of choosing not to? In this episode of the Confidence in God podcast, host Julie McGhghy continues her study on hearkening, diving into Psalm 81, Genesis 26, and other scriptures to reveal both the rewards of obedience and the natural fallout of turning away. Learn how hearkening protects us from distraction and division, how its blessings ripple across generations, and how God reciprocates when we seek Him with humility and praise. Whether you’re just discovering this topic or picking up from the previous episode, “Tired of the Roller Coaster?
