What if God is speaking far more often than we realise - not just in the spectacular moments, but in the ordinary ones too? In this episode of the God Conversations Podcast, Tania sits down with seasoned prophet and trainer Beth Kennedy to explore how God meets us in the everyday rhythms of life.
Raised in an atheist home yet drawn to the spiritual from childhood, Beth shares her remarkable journey of learning to recognise God’s voice - through Scripture, the senses, gentle promptings, and even through unexpected encounters on an afternoon dog walk. Together, Tania and Beth unpack how the Holy Spirit is already at work, inviting us into relationship, transformation, and partnership with God in simple but profound ways. Whether you’re discovering God’s voice for the first time or wanting to deepen your discernment, this conversation is full of practical insights, relatable stories, and reminders of God’s Father‑heart for us. Key Takeaways God often speaks in ordinary moments, not only in dramatic encounters. Beth shares stories – from childhood violin practice to everyday compassion – that highlight how easily we can overlook God. Our senses can be avenues for hearing God – through emotion, imagination, visuals, conviction, and even physical sensations. The Holy Spirit draws people long before they have language for it, as seen in Beth’s early life experiences of love, conviction, and curiosity. Responding to God’s promptings matters as much as recognising them, demonstrated through Beth’s transformative encounter with a homeless man in the park. Everyone can learn to recognise God’s presence, including those who don’t yet believe, through simple practices like “God spaces.” God delights in us and invites us into purpose, a theme Beth expands on through her ministry and her book, I Am God’s Happy Place.

You open your Bible. You read a passage you've read a hundred times before. Nothing happens. Sound familiar?
A prophetic minister told a young couple they were "a match made in heaven." She saw red flags but married him anyway. The marriage turned abusive and the "prophet" was later discovered to have been mining personal data to make his words sound accurate. On this episode, I sit down with prophetic minister David Balestri to talk about what's broken in prophetic ministry right now, and what it would take to build something healthier.
Can God really speak through animals? I know – it sounds a little out there. But what if the Holy Spirit, the great Comforter, uses all of creation to bring healing, joy and peace? In this week’s God Conversations podcast, I sit down with Dr Daniela Rizzo, a theologian who explores how God may speak through animals – and why so many of us have quietly experienced this without knowing how to explain it. From grief, to theology, to the big question “will our pets be in heaven?” – this conversation is tender, challenging and biblical. If you love animals and wonder if God might be speaking in more ways than we’ve been taught… this one’s for you!
What if God is already speaking – long before we arrive with answers? In this episode of God Conversations, Tania Harris sits down with hospital chaplain Matt Sanders to explore what it really means to listen for God in the lives of everyday people. Not in church pews. Not in polished testimonies. But in hospital rooms, juvenile detention centres, moments of grief, fear, and profound vulnerability. Matt has spent decades at the coalface of human suffering – first as a chaplain in juvenile hall, and more recently in hospital and hospice settings. What he’s learned overturns one of our most common assumptions: that spiritual conversations require religious language, right beliefs, or even a belief in God at all. Instead, Matt describes chaplaincy as a ministry of presence – the disciplined art of showing up, slowing down, and truly listening.
What if God doesn’t need us to bring answers – but to pay attention? In this episode of God Conversations, Tania Harris speaks with Rev Dr Ash Barker, whose life and ministry have been shaped by listening for God among the urban poor. From Springvale in Melbourne, to Bangkok’s largest slum, and now inner‑city Birmingham, Ash has spent decades learning one core truth: God is already at work. Our role is to notice and join in.
