Silence and Solitude

What does it mean to be still in a world that never stops moving?In a culture consumed by busyness, constant connectivity, and endless distractions, we can easily lose sight of the importance of making room for God.In this episode, we explore the spiritual disciplines of silence and solitude, drawing from the lives of early Christian figures like St. Anthony and St. Benedict, the examples of John the Baptist, the Apostle Paul, and ultimately Jesus.Through Scripture, church history, and personal experience, we consider how stepping away from the noise can help us become more attentive to God's presence.Perhaps what we need most isn't another spiritual activity, but a moment of stillness with God."Be still, and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10

Every decision we make is forming us into who we will be in the next 5–10 years. Some decisions are intricately planned out. Others happen on a whim. And sometimes, the decisions we make lead us somewhere we never expected. In my latest podcast episode, I share stories from middle school, high school, and college—including how I accidentally attended the wrong college and ended up meeting my wife. Looking back, I can see how God used decisions I made without knowing the whole story to shape the person I am today. But here's the question: What do we do when we regret a decision? And what commitments should remain constant, regardless of where life takes us?

This episode is for the weary. For those celebrating. For those grieving. For those holding on quietly. In this Christmas special, we revisit the Nativity—not as a polished story, but as a holy interruption. God enters into chaos…fragility…brokenness. God chooses to dwell with us in the midst of the worst and best days of our lives.
