There is more noise than ever—alerts, headlines, hot takes. In the middle of it, disciples still need to ask whether Jesus might be whispering something steady. Learning to listen means slowing down and letting Scripture set the tone before the feed does.

Sometimes a headline sounds like a prophecy fulfilled, other times it is just gossip. The way forward is to test everything: does this echo something Jesus already said, or is it just fear wearing a spiritual mask? Quiet prayer and wise counsel help separate signal from noise.

“The Shepherd’s voice cuts through the static, but we have to turn down the volume to hear it.”

When we listen this way, we do not rush to share every rumor. We stay anchored in Christ, confident that He is not nervous about the news cycle. That calm confidence is a testimony in itself—prophecy in real time that points back to Him.
