Podcasts about silence and solitude

Listen to this week's sermon, Subversive Spirituality preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Psalm 62.

The 5D Academy with Zarathustra explores universal wisdom to foster total freedom from suffering in all areas of your life; health, wealth, love, and self. Each Academy podcast contains valuable insights and takeaways to become the best version of yourself and create an authentic, fulfilling life. Zarathustra transmits 5th Dimensional Quantum frequencies in each episode with transformational tools while discussing different topics to help you maintain this new frequency in your daily life. Zarathustra has created a practical system of transmitting the truth to his audience allowing transformation and freedom from suffering. Spiritual development requires an open heart. It is virtually impossible for a seeker to advance to higher consciousness if they don't love themselves. The belief system which has been ingrained in our cellular memory from childhood that we are not good enough results in a conditioned mind. The conditioned mind holds the false belief that there is something missing in our lives, that we are incomplete, that we need to gain something in order to become happy and whole, which is not true. After a life time of searching, Zarathustra has blended a practical system of Eastern and Western methods and techniques to help the Academy members to free themselves from anxiety, negative thoughts, lack of self-love and self-acceptance and destructive emotional patterns through a systematic way to raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency, which enables you to live a vibrant life of freedom and happiness. The Key Elements To Freedom: Zarathustra recognizes continuity and consistency are the key elements to freedom. In order to help you achieve your spiritual goals, it's best to have a highly effective spiritual practice, free of dogmas, false beliefs and superstition that helps you raise your vibration to 5D Vibrational Frequency as well as the ability to maintain this newly found higher level of consciousness. This translates to a life filled with inner peace, self-love and happiness which is the goal of every spiritual seeker. New knowledge and benefits are gained with each replay.

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott, Fyfe Blair "What are the 'pillows' that allow your soul to finally rest in God?" – Steve Macchia In this episode of the Discerning Leader Podcast, Steve Machia is joined by Matt Scott and Fyfe Blair for a rich and reflective conversation on silence and solitude. Together, they explore why these ancient practices feel so difficult in a distracted, fast-paced world—and why they remain essential for the health of our souls. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the wisdom of the Desert Fathers, this episode invites you to move beyond surface-level quiet into a deeper stillness of heart. You'll discover how silence and solitude are not ends in themselves, but pathways into a life rooted in God's presence—a life marked by what Fife calls a "cadence of grace." If your soul feels hurried, noisy, or stretched thin, this conversation offers a gentle but honest invitation: slow down, make space, and learn again how to be with God. We've provided a 3 page Soul Care Audit that will offer you a handful of questions to consider how well you're caring for your soul.

In a world of misinformation and uncertainty, we're often tempted to think our way out of our problems. But what if more knowledge isn't the answer? In this episode, I talk with philosopher and author James K.A. Smith about his book Make Your Home in This Luminous Dark and why the pursuit of certainty can easily become an idol. We discuss his personal journey discovering the wisdom of silence, solitude, and surrender after a season of depression forced him to confront problems thinking alone couldn't solve. We explore the insights of the medieval mystics, what it means to let go of the need to win arguments, why our bodies matter in spiritual practice, and how discovering our belovedness reshapes the way we live and engage the world.James K. A. Smith is professor of philosophy at Calvin University and author of Make Your Home in this Luminous Dark: Mysticism, Art, and the Gift of Unknowing (Yale, March 2026). His popular writing has appeared in magazines such as Christianity Today, Christian Century, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, as well as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.

Habits of a Disciple: Silence and Solitude by Trent Vineyard

Message from Ben Telfair on February 1, 2026

The Desert Elders didn't flee the world to escape it. Some left because Christianity had become comfortable, aligned with power, and disconnected from real transformation. In this episode, I am joined by Lisa Colón DeLay to explore the wisdom of the early Christian desert mothers and fathers and what their lives teach us about spiritual formation today. We talk about attention and restlessness, judgment and humility, silence and prayer, and how habits slowly form, or deform, the soul. You'll hear the story of Abba Moses, who moved from violence to mercy, and learn why real change doesn't come through information or performance but through patience, repentance, and faithfulness over time. This episode is for anyone trying to take Jesus seriously in a noisy, restless, and divided world and looking for a way of life that actually leads to transformation.Lisa Colón DeLay is an author, the podcast host of Spark My Muse podcast, consultant, teacher, Substack writer, and spiritual companion known for focusing on spiritual growth, the inner life, and connection.

D.R. introduces the second spiritual discipline for the semester, silence and solitude. Come as you are. Release the need to perform. Trust that God meets you in the quiet.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry Life moves fast—too fast. Many of us want a deeper connection with God, but find ourselves overwhelmed, overcommitted, and running on empty. What if God is inviting you to slow down? To breathe again? To rediscover a life of peace, purpose, and presence? Join us for a new message series designed to help you break free from the noise, reclaim your soul, and follow Jesus at His unhurried pace. 

This episode explores the biblical concept of the “secret place,” emphasizing intentional solitude and prayer as the primary arena where identity as sons and daughters of God is formed, drawing from Matthew 6 and Psalms to show that true spiritual transformation does not happen in public, but in hidden communion with the Father. The speaker contrasts modern culture's fixation on noise, self‑promotion, emotional validation, and constant stimulation with God's invitation to silence, obedience, and submission, teaching that the secret place is not for self‑care or emotional relief, but for dying to self and becoming like Christ. Through personal stories, Scripture, historical Christian voices, and psychological research, the episode argues that freedom from fear, clarity of calling, and spiritual authority are birthed through faithful, disciplined time alone with God, where trust is built, idols are dismantled, and God's will takes precedence over personal feelings or ambition

Silence and Solitude are not optional for spiritual health - they were foundational to Jesus' life and power. We will never hear God clearly if we are never quiet.

In Psalm 46, we're challenged to practice the overlooked holy habits of silence and solitude. When life is loud—busy schedules, distractions, anxiety, and nonstop noise—God calls His people to be still and know that He is God. This message shows why stillness isn't laziness, but active listening, and how quieting the noise helps us hear God's voice, regain spiritual clarity, and live faithfully in a chaotic world.

Pastor Jim teaches from Luke 1 and reflects on Zechariah's transformation from silence to rejoicing. After nine months of being unable to speak, Zechariah bursts out with a prophetic song proclaiming God's faithfulness—not because his situation is perfect, but because he sees that God has entered the story. Jim challenges us to consider what we are beholding this season and invites us to see solitude and silence not as punishment but preparation. Zechariah's praise points beyond his own miracle to the greater hope of Jesus, the one who leads us into peace. Through remembering God's promises and faithfulness to David, Abraham, and all of Israel, we are reminded that true joy flows from trusting the God who keeps His word and enters our lives with light in the midst of darkness.

Life keeps moving faster and faster and our schedules keep getting fuller and fuller. Fortunately, we have access to so much technology to help us keep up. But even though it empowers us to do more, we feel worse. We're glued to our phones, rage baited, and over stimulated. Many of us walk around with a pit in our stomach, anxious over what sources to trust and what catastrophe will strike next. But it doesn't help to blame our phones. It's a neutral piece of technology. What would help is developing a set of practices that could prevent these old patterns from robbing us of who we want to be. Not one-time activities...but walking a pathway that Scripture suggests you follow for the rest of your life. 

The practice of silence and solitude is not one more thing to do but a time to receive. This week we learn this from the man, Jeremiah, and put we experience it together. 

In this episode, I share how God transformed my faith when I finally stopped running from the quiet. When I stopped distracting myself and instead sat with my emotions and God. We will talk about what scripture says about silence and solitude, and a simple step-by-step guide to help you start meeting God in the quiet.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life's constant noise? In Luke 5, we discover Jesus regularly withdrawing to lonely places for prayer—a powerful reminder that even the Son of God prioritized sacred silence. Pastor Blake unpacks this transformative practice, revealing how silence and solitude aren't luxuries but necessities for spiritual growth. Through practical insights and biblical wisdom, he shows how finding our own "eremos" (wilderness place) can lead to deeper connection with God and renewed spiritual strength. Whether you're feeling spiritually drained or simply seeking more of God's presence, this message offers a compelling roadmap to finding peace in our noise-filled world. Don't miss this timely teaching on creating sacred space in your daily life.

Today I'm breaking down why a silence and solitude practice is essential in a world drowning in inputs. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unclear trying to navigate everyone else's opinions, constantly scrolling, or defaulting to what you're “supposed to” think and do, this one's for you.   I walk you through how I structure true silence (no music, no phone, no podcasts), my favorite timing windows, and a simple way to use inquiry prompts so you're not just “sitting there,” you're actually sharpening discernment. We talk about starting small, embracing pauses, being okay leaving without a final answer, and learning to balance emotion with logic so you can find your truth instead of rushing to the most convenient conclusion.   You'll leave with a practical framework to follow the thread with curiosity, regulate your inner world, and move through life more solid and self-led…online and IRL.

Description: We live in a culture of anxiety and noise. How can we settle our mind and our soul to hear God clearly? Join us this Sunday to learn more about the practice God uses to feed our souls the peace and tranquility we crave.

For young adults, a silent and solitary style of life is often not something we pursue, or even aspire to. Jesus modeled a life like this, and calls us to follow him. Listen here to hear how you can follow Jesus in this way.

Send us a textWhen life gets loud, silence makes space for God.In today's world, the noise never stops — constant demands, endless notifications, and pressure from every direction. But Jesus shows us a better way.In Week 1 of our new series, we look at how Jesus responded to the noise of life by withdrawing to quiet places — not to escape, but to connect deeply with the Father. Silence and solitude aren't just ancient disciplines — they're essential rhythms for our spiritual survival today.

The lost discipline of waiting on God is one that men of old deeply valued, filling their journals with reflections on solitude. Today, however, we are consumed by distraction and the fear of missing out. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk about how the rise of social media and smartphones has contributed to the loss of silence and solitude, which are vital to the Christian life. Silence forces us to confront our hearts—our struggles with working on salvation rather than working it out. Instead of facing our darkest thoughts, we use digital distractions as an escape. When we wait on God, we experience revival, healing, and conviction. Practicing solitude requires discipline, as our minds constantly race with thoughts, often without us realizing the noise surrounding us. True stillness is an intentional quieting of the soul before God.Knowing God is more than knowing scripture—it's abiding in Him. Silence invites us to see God as He sees us, to cease striving, and to recognize His presence. In Mark 6, Jesus told His disciples to step away after their missionary journey. This teaches us that spiritual strength comes from intentional rest in God's presence. How do we practically apply this? Scripture should be incorporated into prayer. The secular world promotes mindfulness, but Christian  solitude is not about emptying the mind—it's about filling it with God's thoughts. The devil's greatest weapon is busyness, distracting us from true communion with God. We often create our plans and ask God to bless them instead of waiting in silence to hear Him speak.Our deepest yearning is to connect with the One whose image we bear. Yet, our phones keep us in a state of constant stimulation, making true solitude difficult. Practical steps to regain it include taking walks without a phone, setting screen-free times in the morning or before bed, and leaving devices behind when going into nature. This is not about emptying the mind but filling it with God's promises. Silence before God is an opportunity to recalibrate, much like any precise measurement tool that requires alignment with a definite standard. How do we cultivate solitude in a world of distractions? Establish accountability, identify distractions, and reorder priorities. If entertainment takes up our time, adjust it to prioritize time with God. Applying these principles will be difficult. Our hearts remain restless until they rest in God. True solitude takes time and effort, but we must persist. The reward is a deep, abiding relationship with the Lord, free from the noise that seeks to pull us away.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Ryan Fullerton emphasizes the importance of embracing silence and solitude in a world filled with noise and distraction. He discusses how the modern tendency to avoid silence stems from our inability to confront our guilty consciences, which the world tries to distract us from. Fullerton encourages the audience to listen to their consciences, which can lead them to the gospel and the righteousness of Christ. He also suggests that spending time alone with God, without external stimuli, can strengthen one's faith and provide refuge from the difficulties of the world.

In the first episode of our weekly Lenten series, we invite you to take a moment to slow down, quiet your heart, and hear what God may be saying to you.

It is so hard to be silent nowadays. To just sit still and be quiet seems almost impossible in the busy and fast moving world we live in. But that is exactly satan wants, to make us too busy for the Lord. When we sit and be with Jesus and Jesus alone is when we can deepen our relationship with Him. The Lord will talk to you in some way! Whether it is a verse or a name or just one word, the Lord is there with you. Join Pastor Shannon Butler as he explains the importance of silence and solitude as a spiritual rhythm and steps on how we put this into practice.Support the show

In this message titled "Silence and Solitude" by Pastor Joel Sims, you'll see that the more you separate yourself from the world, the more you are set apart for Him. And that is when He unveils your calling and purpose and shows you things to come.

Followers of Jesus carry the joy and power of his presence everywhere they go! This means we can cheerfully spread his mighty love to others during ordinary moments of everyday life. But opposition like hurry, stress, or over-earnestness can cause us to miss Jesus' warm smile toward us and those around us. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi unpackage the miracle of the indwelling presence of Jesus' Spirit and encourage you to live every moment in friendship with him. Your heart will come alive as you learn to joyfully and powerfully participate in your Best Friend's work.Resources for this Episode:Surprising Joy: A Journey with Jesus for AdventAttend a Soul Shepherding Institute RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks
