Hold That Thought

Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads

By: Gem Fadling

Narrated by: Gem Fadling

"You're not good enough."

"You need to try harder."

"Everything's fine!"

These are the sorts of voices that we all have in our heads, and they often push us to act in ways that are both unhelpful and unsustainable. How do we quiet these narratives? More importantly, amid the chatter, how do we hear the voice of God?

Gem Fadling helps us identify the competing voices and shows how they hinder our personal transformation. Drawing on years of spiritual direction and leadership at Unhurried Living, she shares her wisdom of how we make sense of inner voices and settle down enough to find our true voice.

Using the discussion guide at the end of the book, groups can discuss the competing voices that they experience within their own souls and learn to notice, discern, and respond to the movement of God in their lives. When we find our true voice, we can let go of the striving and people-pleasing and rest in the presence of God and his plan for our lives.

Like therapy rooted in truth

Gem is the perfect narrator for this content, and listening to her read was like going to therapy. She’s full of grace and told the stories beautifully. (I always enjoy case studies/real life examples of concepts.) I enjoyed the Biblical soundness of her counsel (I’m training to be a Soul Care lay counselor as well), and found her blending of clinical psychology, neuroscience, and faith-based insights to co-mingle and align beautifully.
