People often say they heard from God, or felt called to do something by a higher power.
Michele Bachmann, for example, said God told her to run for a U.S. House seat, and that she and her husband fasted for three days to be more sure.
She received criticism for this. Some even said her claim meant she had a mental illness. But, in Evangelical community, hearing God's call isn't unusual language.
We decided to ask our panelists about it.

This question didn’t interest me when I first read it, but upon reflection I realized it gets at something very important.
Think back for a moment to the days of the Roman Empire; back then from the point of view of Imperial Rome God sounded like marching armies and the clash of weapons in combat.
