Summary

Finding silence in a house with 8 kids and a busy apostolic life is not easy. But Beth and I both felt drawn this Lent to turn off the noise, be more unplugged and more tuned in to God in silent stillness.

In the silence, we encounter our true selves at a deeper level. And we also have the interior space to encounter God and others more. Why do we tend to fill the spaces in our day with so much noise and distraction? Edward and Beth Sri share from their own experiences and offer practical ways to build more silence in the midst of busy lives.

0:55.9	that we were sensing in prayer and just in life events that we needed to work on a little
1:00.9	more in our own lives.
1:01.9	And that's the theme of silence, how to build in more silence and what an important
1:07.0	theme for this Lenten season.
1:09.7	You think about the first Sunday of Lent.
1:12.2	We have those readings of Jesus going into the desert for 40 days of prayer and fasting.
