Reach out! I’d love to hear from you!

Talk from the women's conference at Fellowship Community Church on May 3rd, 2025.

Have you ever felt like God's voice is impossible to hear amid life's chaos? Drawing from her experience losing her sight as a child, Ginny Owens takes us on a powerful journey from middle school bullying to discovering divine friendship that transforms even our darkest moments.

When Ginny faced cruel treatment from the "mean girls" in the school cafeteria, her mother offered wisdom that would eventually reshape her understanding of faith: "Jesus is always your best friend, but there will be days when He is your only friend." Yet this truth felt distant and theoretical. After all, who cares if Jesus loves you when your circumstances feel overwhelming? If His love is real, how does it change your life?

This question forms the heart of Jenny's message as she explores how we've allowed career pressures, comparison, self-doubt, relationship struggles, and digital distraction to muffle God's voice of truth and love. Through a beautiful examination of Psalm 19, she reveals how King David discovered God speaking through the grandeur of creation and the intimate counsel of Scripture.

Ginny explains that the Bible isn't a rulebook but a living conversation with our closest friend who diagnoses our deepest struggles, speaks transformative truth, and offers unfailing love. She unpacks practical tools for hearing God's voice, including Tim Keller's approach to Scripture that asks: What truth can I claim? What command should I follow? What promise can I hold onto? How will my life change today?

Most profoundly, she reminds us that God has spoken His love to humanity since before time began. "God loved you enough to plan for your infinite future before you ever had a past." The same God who spoke creation into being wants an intimate friendship with you today.
