Episode Synopsis

We’re back with another episode in our Spiritual Formation series, and this time we’re exploring the quiet, but powerful, practice of solitude. In a culture that celebrates busyness and constant activity, solitude can feel counter-cultural, even uncomfortable. But solitude isn’t simply about stepping away from noise or slowing down our schedules. It’s about intentionally stepping toward God, making space to be fully present with Him. In this episode, we talk about what it means to “Be still,” how to resist the pull of distraction, and why solitude can be one of the most life-giving practices for our souls. If you’re longing for a deeper connection with God in the midst of life’s noise, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, be still, and truly meet with Him. Episode Highlights:  Spiritual Formation Disciplines  Meet Brittany! Solitude  Slowing down   Find More on Hope Bridge/Links from this Episode: The Way of the Heart: Connecting with God Through Prayer, Wisdom, and Silence by Henri Nouwen  Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life by Henri Nouwen Invitation to Solitude and Silence: Experiencing God's Transforming Presence by Ruth Haley Barton Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Foster Our Community Instagram
