Silence and stillness are so crucial for us as humans: for our growth, for self-discovery, and for our relationship with God.

But why is it often so awkward and uncomfortable for us to sit with ourselves in silence — in prayer or otherwise? Is there a way to move past the frustration of feeling like you’re just hearing your own voice?

YES. Yes, there really is. In this episode, Fr. Mike and Emma share their personal experiences with growing to appreciate silence and explore the ways in which cultivating silence is a marathon and not a sprint.
