In a season when God seemed silent and visions were rare, a young boy named Samuel heard his name called in the night—but didn't recognize the voice. In this episode, Pastor Chuck Allen concludes the story of Hannah by introducing us to one of the most misunderstood figures in Scripture: Eli, the aging priest whose own life was marked by failure, yet who taught Samuel the words that would change Israel's history. Through Eli's example, Pastor Chuck reveals what mature faith looks like—the spiritual generosity to position someone else to encounter God, even when your own story hasn't gone the way you hoped. Whether you feel like Samuel, unsure if what you're hearing is truly God's voice, or like Eli, aware of your shortcomings and wondering if you have anything left to offer, this message invites you into the same posture: "Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening." It's the bravest prayer you can pray—and it might just change everything.
