Season 5: Episode 2 | Beginnings

Learning to be present with God alone – where do we begin? How do we get to the point where we recognize that what needs done in our lives only God can do? We define our terms in this episode – what is silence and what is solitude? Steve is already overachieving, Ruth encourages people to begin with a much smaller amount of time in silence and solitude Mentioned in this podcast:Invitation to Solitude and Silence, Ruth Haley BartonThe Way of the Heart, Henri Nouwen Exploring Further:Music in Solitude Ruth Haley Barton Steve Wiens Become a patron:  Join a growing movement of transforming leaders.
