Episode 74: The Power of Silence

30 minutes

Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: The Power of Silence

While Walking with Purpose founder Lisa takes time to write our next women’s Bible study, cohost Laura is keeping the Hope for Right Now podcast going strong. This week launches a brand-new, six-week series: Truth with Handles—Scripture-based encouragement you can apply to real life.

When you’re navigating life’s challenges, you don’t need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points.

Each week, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life.

Today’s topic: The Power of Silence. Discover how silence helps you encounter God—the One who brings healing, peace, and solutions to everything broken within you. If you’re seeking interior peace, encouragement, and practical Bible application for women, this episode is for you.

Open your Heart to our key Scripture.

Isaiah 6:8: And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.

What are my distractions? How much noise is in my day? How can I create more silence in my day? What am I afraid of hearing when all gets quiet?
