Are you answering God’s call-or sending Him to voicemail?

Every Christian’s spiritual phone is always ringing. The voices of the world, the flesh, and the devil clamor for attention. At the same time, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, Jesus Christ, and God the Father call believers to salvation, growth, and service. The real question is not whether the call is coming-it’s how you will respond.

In Answer the Phone, God Is Calling: The Six Responses to the Call, Dr. Eric C. Hite delivers a powerful, practical, and sometimes convicting guide to recognizing and responding to the voice of God. With clarity, biblical storytelling, and pastor’s heart, he walks you through the six ways people respond to God’s call:

Answering Immediately – Abraham, Isaiah, and the disciples

Delaying – Moses, Jonah, Gideon

Ignoring or Rejecting – Saul, the rich young ruler, Israel

Putting on Voicemail – Felix, Agrippa, Pharaoh

Blocking the Call – Resisting the Spirit, hardening the heart

Dialing Ourselves – Choosing sin like David, or faith like Ruth and David vs. Goliath

You will learn how to discern God’s call, silence the wrong voices, and answer heaven’s call with confidence and obedience.
