episode Awakened to Grace: Silence cover

Awakened to Grace: Silence

Last week, we unpacked prayer and explored what it means to pray—and why our prayers matter. This week, I want us to lean into another spiritual discipline: silence. Now honestly, when I told someone I was preaching on silence, I immediately regretted it. I think my exact words were, “Why did I say I would preach on silence?!” And without missing a beat, she said, “Ah yes… silence. The thing you love so much.” And listen—that’s fair. I love to talk. I love conversation, stories, laughter, noise. I love to yap. But somewhere along the way, we’ve confused being busy with being spiritually healthy. We fill every quiet moment with music, podcasts, scrolling, notifications, or our own thoughts. And because of that, many of us have forgotten how to simply be still before God. Yet Scripture says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Silence is uncomfortable because it forces us to slow down. It strips away distractions. It exposes what’s really going on in our hearts. But silence is also sacred, because when the noise fades, we begin to hear the voice of Jesus more clearly. If we never embrace silence, we may miss the Love, Light, and Hope Christ is trying to speak into our lives. Silence is not the absence of God. Sometimes, it is the very place where God speaks the loudest. Passage: Mark 1:32-39 CEB

Awakened to Grace: Prayer

As Annual Conference gathers the Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church here in Lakeland, we are invited into a powerful theme: awakening to grace. In the Methodist tradition, we believe God meets us through the means of grace—through prayer, worship, communion, Scripture, service, and community. These practices are not just habits; they are holy pathways that awaken us to the presence and love of God already at work among us. In this new series, we will reconnect with our spiritual heritage while discovering fresh ways to experience God’s grace in our everyday lives. My hope is that together we will be awakened again—to the love, light, and hope of Jesus Christ. May we be rooted deeply in prayer, open fully to God’s presence, and transformed by the grace that has always been reaching toward us. Passage: Matthew 6:5-13 CEB
