The Noise-Canceling Headphones

Why Your Divine Purpose Requires You to Tune Out the World's Volume.

You know that moment when you put on noise-canceling headphones and the chaos just... stops? The screaming world goes silent, and suddenly you can think again. That's what God is asking you to do with your life.

But here's the problem: we've been conditioned to believe that if we're not listening to everything and everyone, we're missing out. So we keep the volume cranked, other people's opinions, cultural expectations, the endless scroll of comparison. And we wonder why we can't hear God's voice.

Work harder. Post more. Stay visible. Keep up. That's the world's playlist on repeat. The real work is hitting pause. It's creating space to hear the one voice that actually matters. Jesus Christ said it plainly: "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). He's not competing for your attention. He's waiting for you to silence the noise.

When you finally do, something miraculous happens. The frantic need to prove yourself dissolves. Your decisions become clear, calm, and surgically precise. You're no longer reacting to the world's chaos; you're responding to God's strategic plan for your life.

What noise are you still letting drown out His voice?
