Truth of the Spirit episode, Eve – God’s First Woman with host Patti Brunner, reminds us that Adam needed a helper who, like him, was also in the image of God. Eve’s story is told to us in two different stories in the Old Testament book of the bible, Genesis. The first man was made from the dust of the earth but the first woman was made of the perfect genetic material of God’s creation of humanity. Isn’t it interesting that the first sign of the effect of sin, the first sign of imperfection is the need to cover up? We could guess that Eve’s first clothing line was named “fear”. Before they sinned they were covered by the glory of God. Discover how God covered them after the first sin.

One time I was at a women’s retreat and our leader had us act out the parable of the Prodigal Son. As we took turns playing the parts of the prodigal son, the other son his brother and the Father and the servants, I gained a new insight I had missed by reading the story in the bible. It is truly the “living word”. As I played the role of the father, I paced back and forth looking down the road for my son to return. I had never considered the strong longing in the father’s heart for the son who had turned his back on his father and gone off to do his own thing. And in that, I could comprehend how God desires our return to him, even though we have rejected his Presence. Recently, the Lord has been teaching me even more about relationship with Him through this parable.

Truth of the Spirit episode ‘Recognizing God’s Voice’ hosted by Patti Brunner provides several spiritual exercises for listening to the Lord. Please know that the Lord wants you to hear his voice. Mostly it is the ability to discern God’s voice that the people need help—He speaks to you all the time. If you do not spend time getting to know the Lord in prayer and sacred scripture you cannot recognize his voice. You know the voice of family members because you hear them often when you know it’s them. It’s the same thing with the Lord. We can become most familiar with God’s voice by reading scripture. Also refers to episodes: TOS029 “Praying the Scriptures” with Ken Hunter and TOS053: Basics of Faith I – Basics of Using the Catechism.

The communication between God and Man is made possible first by the connection of the Holy Spirit, speaking within the heart, and secondly, through the heart that desires to hear.
