Podcasts about silence solitude

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.

/> ### MESSAGE NOTESWalking The Way | Community | Week 13 | August 4, 2024Teacher: Alison Myers/> “You can make a strong case that of all the practices of Jesus, the two most important are SILENCE & SOLITUDE, and COMMUNITY. Because they are the two containers that hold all of the others. As a general rule, our best moments of healing and freedom and breakthrough and experience or encounter with Jesus, are either when we are alone with him in the quiet, or when we are together in community.” – John Mark Comer /> Jesus was formed spiritually./> Jesus was formed in community./> Jesus formed others in community./> Community is something we must practice./> We're lonely but we're afraid of intimacy. />“And so from social networks to social robots we're designing technologies that will give us the illusion of companionship, without the demands of friendship. We turn to technology to help us feel connected in ways we can comfortably control.” /> "This expression is very difficult to render in English, but we could translate it by saying, ‘A person is a person through other persons.' We need other human beings for us to learn how to be human, for none of us comes fully formed into the world. … I can be me only if you are fully you. I am because we are, for we are made for togetherness, for family. …I have gifts that you don't have, and you have gifts that I don't have. We are different in order to know our need of each other. To be human is to be dependent.” /> Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God's word to them. -Mark 2:2/> Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven. -Mark 2:5

If we are going to be LIKE Jesus in our everyday life, then we must be WITH Jesus in silence and solitude. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-13 Mark 1:35 Luke 6:12 Psalm 139:23-24 Psalm 37:7 Matthew 26:36-42 Matthew 4:1-11 John 10:10.

Sin isolates, Jesus unites; yet, moments of rest and solitude with God remain essential.

Life is moving along at warp speed. Many had hoped that the increase in our ability to communicate via social media would help us to slow the pace down. It has done the opposite! We never see Jesus nervous and rushed, even in the midst of His demanding ministry. This is partly due to the fact that He took the necessary time for silence and solitude. We examine the WHY and give some practical advice on HOW to participate in this practice which has become uncommon in modern Christianity.

Many creative people embrace quiet, solitary moments as portals to being in synch with their work. Stepping away from everyday distractions is a way of nurturing your creative self, bringing you more in touch with your emotions, ideas, and the bigger picture of what you want to express. Yet true silence and solitude tend to be rare in our lives, unless we make a conscious effort to bring them in. Most people are aware of the value of meditation and other spiritual practices like prayer as a way of calming and centering and consider it important, usually as a way of starting the day. But once you move into the main flow of a busy day, most of us never pause to find a quiet moment of solitude. A purposeful, brief stepping back from full engagement with your work, a pause in which you take a moment to refresh your vision and can enhance your creative process by allowing you to get find your center and purpose again. It's good to take this kind of pause not out of frustration or exhaustion, but during a good flow of activity. If you stay in the moment but simply pause for a moment to look out the window, take a drink of water, or step outside, you are not likely to lose your flow. Working this type of pause into the rhythm of your process can seem counterintuitive, but one way to create this habit is to simply extend a natural pause-- taking a drink a water or washing your hands--and another minute or so to find something else to gaze at. Solitude and silence are other ways to enhance creativity by bringing your attention inward, whether in the studio or elsewhere in life. Anything that helps you be in touch with your inner thoughts and feelings can be helpful. Consciously making space for solitude and silence in your life can be an important step to going deeper into your work Thanks to everyone who has been sharing the show and donating!

Mark 1:35

May Seminar- Prayer -Practical Christian Living-

"So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed" Luke 5:16. Jesus made going to the desert alone for focused time with prayer a consistent habit. John the Baptist, who Jesus called "the greatest man who ever lived" up to that point grew up in the desert and had his ministry there. Solitude, silence, and prayer in the desert are spiritually powerful. In this episode, Mike shares his experience of a recent trip alone to the wilderness.

In this episode, l explore the means by which we can connect with nature purposefully and intentionally - through silence, solitude, and stillness.  Silence quiets us to hear nature's wisdom. Solitude supports and strengthens our connection to our authentic self and our unique relationship with the natural world.  Stillness feeds our intention to seek guidance from the Earth and find acceptance in the powers of creativity that brought us into being.  Listen and learn how to connect more deeply with nature purposefully and intentionally. 

Matthew 11:25-29Busyness is probably the biggest obstacle to pursuing life with God. But there are ways to foster one while eliminating the other. Here's an invitation from Jesus to let go and rest.

Jesus seems to learn early on that if he's going to live into his calling and become who he's intended to be, he will need to have times of solitude and stillness where he's not DOING but rather he is BEING in the presence of the Divine.
