What might you hear if you finally turned down the noise in your life and simply sat in silence?

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by constant distractions or struggled to find clarity and peace amid life’s chaos, you’re not alone. In today’s world, silence can feel elusive—but it’s also the missing key to a deeper spiritual life and a more centered daily experience.

In this episode of Of Sound Mind and Spirit, Lisa Jones and Shelly Kelly share their eye-opening journey at a semi-silent retreat and reveal why creating space for quiet moments not only reconnects you with God but also transforms your inner calm and focus.

Here’s what you’ll gain from tuning in:

• Unravel the difference between external silence and interior silence (and why quieting your mind can be more challenging—and rewarding—than just muting the world around you)

• Simple, practical steps for weaving peaceful pauses into your daily life, even if a silent retreat isn’t in your plans

• Real talk about why silence can feel uncomfortable, how to gently manage busy thoughts, and what you stand to gain—clarity, calm, and a chance to truly listen for God’s voice

Press play to take the three-minute silence challenge and start discovering the freedom, insight, and peace waiting for you in the quiet.
