What would it look like to live a life that moves with Jesus? All summer long, we're exploring the spiritual rhythms that shaped Jesus' life—and learning how they can reshape ours. Because every one of us is being formed by something. But when we intentionally build the practices of Jesus into our daily lives, we begin to reflect Him more fully from the inside out. Each week, we'll identify a broken system that harms the soul—things like hurry, consumerism, or self-reliance—and replace it with one of Jesus' practices: surrender, worship, prayer, service, rest, and more. These rhythms are more than habits—they're invitations to slow down, make space, and be transformed.

Psalm 46:10 1 Kings 19:9b-13a

In this weeks episode Jono thinks about the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude after a quiet morning for his parish this week.

 In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah is fleeing for his life after the confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, where he had called down fire from heaven to prove that the Lord is the true God. Consequently, Jezebel threatens to kill him, leading Elijah to run for his life, overwhelmed with fear and despair. He isolates himself, asks God to take his life, and falls asleep under a broom tree. However, God provides for him through an angel, who gives him food and water, and Elijah journeys to Mount Horeb (Sinai), where he has a profound encounter with God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This passage highlights Elijah's vulnerability, God's care, and the shift from dramatic displays of power to intimate, personal revelation. 

 “Solitude and silence are not self-indulgent exercises for times when an overcrowded soul needs a little time to itself. Rather, they are concrete ways of opening to the presence of God beyond human effort and beyond the human constructs that cannot fully contain the Divine.” (Ruth Barton) Following Easter, Mary Magdalene—though distressed and alone, was able to hear and respond to the voice of the Good Shepherd. Similarly, Jesus regularly withdrew from the crowds to solitary places for prayer, demonstrating complete dependence on the Father 

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!

    The post SILENCE AND SOLITUDE appeared first on GATEWAYFAMILY.

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.

This is the second sermon in the 40 Days of Prayer series- Monk Habits for the Rest of Us. In this message, Mark shares on the two pillars of prayer- silence and solitude. thevineaustin.org/monkhabits Matthew 6:5-8 DISCUSSION QUESTION: 1. This week, we are practicing centering prayer. How has your experience been with this practice? (You may also want to reflect on last week's practice of the Lord's Prayer.) 2. When you think back to the sermon, what stood out to you- either as encouraging, curious, or confusing? 3. What do you make of the instructions of Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8. What is the core of Jesus' teachings and instructions? 4. Mark shared that silence and solitude uniquely remind us we have a soul. Do you think of your soul often? How do silence and solitude make us remember our soul? 5. If you were to deepen your practice and comfort with silence and solitude, how would that affect your life?

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. Throughout the season of Lent, we'll be releasing weekly episodes focused on themes of reflection, prayer, and contemplation.On March 19, 2021 we were delighted to host Christian author, leader, and teacher, Ruth Haley Barton. Barton is founding President/CEO of the Transforming Center, a ministry dedicated to strengthening the souls of Christian leaders and the congregations and organizations they serve. Ruth is the author of numerous books and resources on the spiritual life, including Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership and Sacred Rhythms. She reflects regularly on spirituality and leadership in her blog, Beyond Words, and on her podcast Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership.We hope you enjoy this conversation around her book, Invitation to Solitude and Silence: Experiencing God's Transforming Presence. Our attention, Barton believes, has become a commodity that we must protect if we are to avoid being swept away by our distracted age. She invites listeners to engage in these ancient biblical practices to find the rest for our souls that Jesus promises. In this Lenten season, we hope this will inspire you to pursue God's transforming presence in new ways and contemplatively sit in solitude and silence with the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Learn more about Ruth Haley Barton. Watch the full Online Conversation and read the transcript from March 19, 2021. Related reading:A Shocking Lack of Solitude, Cherie Harder Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Blaise PascalJohn MiltonC.S.

In the chaos of our urban, digital age, it's easier than ever to “gain the whole world and yet lose your soul.” But how can we have a relationship with a God we cannot see? The answer lies in intentionally setting aside time to be alone with God. Silence and solitude allow us to break free from the noise and distractions of everyday life, enabling us to be fully present in the presence of God. Text: Luke 5:15-16 Speaker: Jeff Schrecengost

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.

Definition of Silence and Solitude Silence: A spiritual discipline involving intentional quietness to hear God without external noise or distractions. Solitude: A spiritual practice of being alone with God for reflection, prayer, and listening. Deepening Relationship: Silence and solitude provide an opportunity to deepen one's relationship with God. In the quiet, distractions are minimized, allowing for a more focused and intimate communion with God.   2. Biblical Foundations Jesus' Example: Mark 1:35: "Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Luke 5:16: "So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed." Elijah's Encounter with God: 1 Kings 19:12: "And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice." David's Meditations: Psalm 62:1: "Truly my soul silently waits for God; from Him comes my salvation." 3. Theological Significance Silence and solitude create space to hear God's voice and discern His will. They reflect dependence on God rather than on human activity. They align with humility and submission to God's leading. Priesthood of all Believers – you can enter the presence of God! 4. Making a Space in the Noise Fighting Distraction: In today's fast-paced, technology-driven society, the constant stream of information can be overwhelming. Regularly practicing solitude and silence helps Christians resist the cultural pressures of noise and distraction, allowing them to build a more profound spiritual life. Creating Space for God: The digital age has made it increasingly challenging to find moments of quiet. By intentionally setting aside time for solitude, Christians can reclaim their focus on God amidst the chaos of modern life. 5. Practical Examples of Silence and Solitude Morning devotion in a quiet room or outdoors. Retreats dedicated to prayer and reflection. Taking moments during the day to pause and seek God in silence. Listening to God: These practices create space to hear God's voice and discern His will. In a world filled with noise and busyness, silence allows believers to be more receptive to God's guidance and presence.   Section 2: Practicing Silence and Solitude in Daily Life 1. Tying Silence and Solitude to Other Disciplines Developing Spiritual Disciplines: Solitude is a key spiritual discipline that helps Christians grow in their faith. It encourages practices such as prayer, meditation, and Bible study, which are essential for spiritual maturity. Prayer: Silence prepares the heart to pray authentically and listen to God's response. Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" Bible Reading: Solitude allows for focused study and meditation on God's Word. Joshua 1:8: "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night." Meditation: Reflecting on Scripture in silence deepens understanding and application. Journaling: Writing out your lessons learned and questions that come up as you read and study God's Word 2. Overcoming Challenges Addressing distractions: Practical tips for creating a quiet space. Struggles with being alone: Encouragement to view solitude as time with God. 3. Corporate Applications Encouraging church retreats focused on silence and prayer. Teaching congregations to incorporate moments of silence into worship services. 4. Spiritual Benefits of Silence and Solitude Clarity in decision-making. Aligning with God's Will: Silence and solitude help believers align their desires and actions with God's will, ensuring that their service is effective and God-honoring.   Renewed strength and peace. Isaiah 30:15: "For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.'" Deeper intimacy with God. Personal Reflection: Solitude offers a chance for self-examination and reflection on one's life and spiritual journey. It allows believers to assess their actions, thoughts, and motivations in light of their faith. Repentance and Renewal: In the quiet, individuals can confront their sins and shortcomings, leading to repentance and spiritual renewal. Physical and Spiritual Rest: Silence and solitude provide rest for both the body and the soul. Solitude provides a necessary break from the busyness of life, allowing for both physical rest and spiritual rejuvenation. As noted in Psalm 23:2-3, God leads His people beside still waters to restore their souls Peace and Clarity: These practices can bring peace and clarity, helping believers to navigate life's challenges with a calm and focused mind. Equipping for Ministry: Just as Jesus used times of solitude to prepare for His ministry, followers of Jesus can use these times to equip themselves for service. It is a time to seek God's strength and wisdom for the tasks ahead.   5. Closing Thoughts Silence and solitude are essential disciplines for followers of Jesus because they foster a deeper relationship with God, provide opportunities for reflection and renewal, and prepare believers for effective service. Encouragement to begin small and remain consistent. 6. Reflection Questions for Listeners How can you incorporate silence and solitude into your daily routine? What steps can your church take to encourage these disciplines corporately?     **(00:00) END PART 1**   **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**         **(5:00 – 1:00)**   Doctrine of the Month -   The Church Defined Key question: What is the Church? Definition of the Church: A local body of baptized believers, united in covenant for worship, discipleship, and the mission of Christ.     The Universal Church   Ephesians 1:22-23 "And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Explanation: All believers united under Christ as the head.   The Local Church   Acts 2:41-42 "Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers." Explanation: Local expressions of the universal Church gathered for worship, teaching, and fellowship.   **(1:00)**   - “Thank you for listening today! Is your life too noisy and too busy?

We're taking a break from our regular content to share a favorite episode from our Becoming Like Jesus series. Rev. Dr. Bryan Wilkerson, Pastor Emeritus of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA, shares the importance of silence and solitude in personal spiritual formation. As we head into Christmas week, we encourage you to reflect on the birth of our Savior as you practice these disciplines.

As we look ahead to the new year, many people have New Years resolutions on the mind and are setting goals for the year. These goals are often centered around self-improvement, achieving new fitness or financial goals. But we wanted to take out some time on this podcast and encourage you to think about ways that you can improve your spiritual life and get closer to God this year. So, over the last few weeks of the year here we are going to be looking at different spiritual formation habits and talking with different people who have implemented these practices into their routines to hopefully inspire you to implement these practices into your life and take your relationship with Jesus to the next level. This week Pastor Brent Knox joins to talk about the practice of silence and solitude.

If you've ever felt distant or disconnected in your relationship with God, then this week's message is for you!

In this message, we explore how silence and solitude before God are essential for finding direction, strength, renewal, and clarity. Through examples from the life of Jesus and other biblical figures, we see how silence and solitude were essential before significant decisions, in times of grief, and for spiritual rejuvenation.Need Prayer?

Today's world of smartphones, streaming, and productivity keeps us from ever having to endure boredom. Plus, the restlessness that surfaces when left alone with our thoughts and feelings often reveals a discomfort we'd rather avoid. But constant distraction stops us from engaging in the meaningful spiritual work Jesus accomplishes when we are bored.Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi discuss the importance of embracing boredom. Sticking with practices like solitude, silence, and Sabbath (even when they feel boring) helps you get in touch with the deepest longings of your soul — your longings for Jesus. You can train to appreciate God in boredom and move into beauty, intimacy, and adventure with him. Resources for this Episode:Attend a Soul Shepherding Institute RetreatJourney of the Soul: A Practical Guide to Emotional and Spiritual GrowthMeet with a Soul Shepherding Spiritual DirectorDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks
