Broken & Beautiful Podcast

We’ve heard of the calm before the storm and the calm after the storm… but in the middle of the storm, calmness is also available to each person who invites God into their chaos. And, you guessed it, the best way to find God in these moments is through silence. When we quiet the chaos around us and within us, we allow space for God’s peace to settle our hearts. Silence becomes a tool to drown out fear, anxiety, and turmoil, ushering in a deep sense of calm that only God can provide.
