  • Summary

  • This Week’s Listener Question:

    I’ve been invited to a silent retreat. I’d like to attend but honestly every time I try to meditate or sit in silent prayer, my mind races and I feel restless and distracted. What’s the point of sitting still?

    SOUL Group Questions:

    To build connection with a friend or in your Soul Group, ask each other these questions.

    1. How would you describe your comfort level with solitude and silence?

    2. What comes up for you when you practice silence, meditation, or prayer?

    3. What helps you drop into a quieter, slower mode? What benefits do you receive when you do?

    4. Have you ever observed a “Sabbath”? What went well? What was hard? What did you learn about yourself or your faith?

    5. Bonus – What’s the difference between solitude and loneliness?
