That True Vibration Inside of You

“You think that you have a leading, but your ego takes over, or your will takes over, and you need community to be with you to help discern what is really coming through. Not for the community to tell you what’s coming through, but to reflect back to you what they’re hearing. Because you’re the one that needs to determine what that true vibration is inside of you.”

— Diego Navarro, 2023

Consider what a leading feels like in your body, and what your body feels like when you are faithful. Jot down some metaphors for these feelings to help you recognize them.

What is a leading (or a “calling” or a “nudge”)?

How do you distinguish the voice of the Spirit from all others?
