PT as they follow God’s will and heed the call of the Jubilee.

What's the most prevalent voice that you hear in your life? Is it God's or someone's/something else?

We long to teach people how to pray and contemplative silence, inner recollection, and interior stillness are ways we can live in a relationship with God. But, there's a silver bullet to make people live in chaos and noise whether exteriorly or interiorly. 

Every single day through general media we are bombarded with chaos and noise and there's this turmoil all the time both internal and external that's a direct attack on how God speaks and how He wants to give Himself.

Today, in the next part of this mini-series, we'll dive deeper into the importance and experience of silence and attempt to stir people's hearts to recognize that this silence is against under direct attack and identify ways to defend against these attacks.

DISCLAIMER: We apologize in advance that you can't see Br. Kolbe video like you usually do in some parts of this episode. Unfortunately, we've had some technical difficulties with his camera during the recording session that rendered some of Br. Kolbe's footage unusable.
