[Trae Johnson]

As I reflect on the words, “This is my beloved Son… hear Him,” I’m confronted with a humbling truth: I’ve let the noise of this world drown out the voice of Christ in my life. The constant stream of information, opinions, and distractions from media and technology has dulled my sensitivity to God’s whisper.

I’m aware that God is speaking, but too often I’m not listening. Not because He is not speaking, but because I have not created space to actually hear from Him.

In response, I’m choosing to intentionally quiet the other voices. That might mean stepping back from social media, reducing screen time, or reordering my morning routine to begin with God’s Word instead of the day’s headlines.

I don’t just need to be told things by the world—I must be changed by Jesus’ voice. His voice brings life, direction, and peace, while the world’s voices have a tendency to bring confusion, fear, and worry.
