We live in a world that’s anything but quiet. The endless notifications, the to-do lists that never end, and the constant pull to keep going can drown out even our own thoughts. But there’s a quiet invitation waiting for you—a sacred garden of silence where you can meet Him. Are you carving out the time to step into it? No one is going to tell you to pause. No one is going to hand you the permission slip to rest your mind. The truth is, you have to take that step yourself. We convince ourselves we’re fine, that we can keep going, that saying “no” to others isn’t an option. But when we avoid quiet, we miss the gentle nudge to say "yes" to God’s presence. It’s not about finding time, it’s about making time. The beginning of your day is often the best place to start. Before the world pulls you in a hundred directions, carve out a small slice of silence. Invite God into that space. Silence isn’t just an absence of noise, it’s an open door for connection. It’s in the stillness that we hear him, feel his guidance, and receive the peace that only he can provide.  Bring your worries, your hopes, and even your exhaustion. Let him meet you there. This is your nudge to step into the garden today. Quotes from Today’s Episode: "No one is going to give you that time. No one's going to tell you to take time. You have to carve it out yourself." "You feel like you're on this perpetual hamster wheeler treadmill because your brain is just overwhelmed and stressed out and overextended” "Find that time to meet God in the garden” (00:00) God meets you in silence and solitude.
