6: Embracing Silence: Finding Rest and God’s Presence Amid Life’s Noise

In this episode, we dive into the transformative practice of silence. In our noisy world—filled with constant sounds, to-do lists, and distractions—finding true quiet can seem daunting, even a little bit scary. But science and tradition both show that just a few moments of intentional silence each day can help reset our nervous systems, improve focus, and create space for spiritual awareness.

Join me as I share my own two-week experiment with morning silence, the science behind why silence benefits our brains and bodies, and practical tips for making this practice approachable in your everyday life. We’ll also end with a gentle, minute-long guided silence practice you can try right where you are. Whether silence is new to you or something you’re returning to, this episode is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and rest in the presence of God—right in the middle of your real, imperfect life. Let’s begin.
