What God’s Voice ACTUALLY Sounds Like (with David Holland)

What does God’s voice actually sound like? And how do you know if it’s Him or just your own thoughts?

Most believers spend years waiting for a dramatic, audible sign from heaven. But for author/teacher David Holland, learning to hear God came down to something far more intimate: recognizing the distinct tone, timber, and fragrance of the Holy Spirit operating through his own inner voice.

In this episode, Preston sits down with David to break down how to distinguish personal thoughts from divine prompting. After losing everything at age 50, following a supernatural warning he almost ignored, David learned firsthand what it takes to quiet a noisy mind, abandon transactional "laundry list" prayers, and compose the soul in God’s presence.

In this episode:

• The Warning Sign: What happened when David heard God's voice before losing everything.
• The Ghostwriter's Lens: Lessons from years spent writing behind the scenes for leaders around the world.
• Is That God or Me? Practical tests to tell the difference between your thoughts and the Holy Spirit.
• Rethinking Prayer: Why shifting away from "request lists" changes everything about experiencing God.
• Quieting the Soul: How to cultivate stillness and hear God in a loud, distracted culture.

Whether you're facing a major life decision, feeling stuck in your prayer life, or simply wanting to cultivate a deeper daily awareness of God, this conversation provides practical, time-tested tools for clarity in your walk with God.
