Summary
In our busy, always-connected lives, it can be hard to find moments of true silence—yet it’s in silence that we can hear God’s voice and deepen our relationship with Him.
Join us for this Q&A as we discuss the power of silence in our spiritual lives, practical ways to turn down the volume (bye-bye apps?), the gift of solitude - and we get it, sometimes it feels more like a curse than a gift!
We will also look into breaking free from distractions and dare we say it, living out silence as a family (or with our loved ones).
As always, we want to hear your thoughts and experiences of embracing the stillness. How can we “turn down the volume” in our lives this Lent to hear God more clearly and grow deeper in faith?

| 0:44.7 | our Bible somebody fact check me um I think it's Luke maybe it's John is it Luke there we go |
| 0:52.8 | anyway Luke 811 the seed is the word of God. |
| 0:56.1 | And so I've been thinking about, and scripture talks, uses that image often for, like, |
| 1:02.9 | God's word going out and bearing fruit. |

| 1:12.9 | because I only understand a little bit of it like I think I know what it means I and often it'll come |
| 1:22.1 | like with immediate understanding like I know what that applies to but the longer I ponder it the more it grows and like |
| 1:29.9 | takes root and I feel that way like about my word for the year just about really precious words |
