In the Stillness Podcast

Inspired by Psalm 131, this is a place for quiet truth in the middle of a loud, busy world. In short, voice-memo–style episodes, I share Scripture, reflection points/takeaways, and pray over you as you carry the truth into your every day.

    Right on Time (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    There's a time for everything, and today we sit inside the verses that say it outright. This episode walks through Ecclesiastes 3:1-14, and asks what it actually looks like to trust God's timing instead of comparing your season to someone else's or even rushing past the one you're currently in. We also discuss what it means to see your work (whatever format it is in right now) as a gift instead of a burden, and why the restlessness you sometimes feel points to something eternal. It all lands on

    Having it 'All,' But Never Enough (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, we watch Solomon run two experiments with his own life: first pleasure, then wisdom, and we sit with what he found on the other side of both. We talk about why he chased pleasure so hard, and why even the worthy pursuits in his life, the ones that weren't wrong on their own, still left him empty once he made them the destination instead of the journey. Then we look at his turn toward wisdom, and the sobering discovery that the wise & the fool meet the very same fate. This episod

    Don't Get Lost in the Cycle (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    In this episode, we open up Ecclesiastes 1 and consider why a book that starts with "everything is meaningless" ends up being one of the most encouraging in the Bible. We talk about who's actually speaking in this book and why his humble honesty matters. We walk through the relentless cycle Solomon describes in nature, and what it means to build your life on something eternal instead of something temporary. We address how more wisdom, pursued apart from God, can actually bring more sorrow, and d

    Where's Your Portion? (Psalm 16) (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Psalm 16 might be one of the most quietly powerful chapters in the whole book: a psalm of refuge, security, and resurrection hope. In this episode, we sit with David's confident declaration, "apart from you I have no good thing." We talk about what it really means to have "everything" vs. having nothing but Jesus...and why one of those actually satisfies and the other doesn't. We dig into what it looks like to let God be your Counselor first (instead of an afterthought), and we land on one of th

    How Are You Responding - Fear or Faith? (Psalm 11) (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    David was hunted, more than once, by more than one person who wanted him gone. And the advice he kept getting was: "run." In this episode, we sit with Psalm 11 and watch David choose something braver than flight. We talk about why being chosen by God was never a promise of an easy road, and why real faith looks different from fearful retreat. We also dig into what it means that God is still seated on His throne no matter how loud the threat around us gets, and why that truth changes how we respo
