In tonight's Midweek Bible Study, we dive into a powerful teaching on what it means to live a quiet life in a world that constantly demands attention.

Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, Pastor Eric Madden explores how God calls us to be intentional, focused, and diligent in a culture that thrives on noise and distraction. We’ll unpack what it looks like to lead a peaceful, purposeful life, minding our own business, working with integrity, and being a faithful witness to those around us.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of life, this episode will give you practical steps to find calm amidst the noise and live with purpose for God’s glory.

Tune in as we break down how living a quiet life isn’t about retreating from the world—it’s about standing firm in Christ, focused and unshaken.
