"Solitude and silence are a gift when experienced together. And when they are practiced within a community, they can become a place of significant growth and maturation." - Steve Macchia
Many people find solitude uncomfortable. The idea of being alone with our own thoughts can feel overwhelming—even daunting. Yet solitude is not the same as loneliness.
In this episode of The Discerning Leader Podcast, we explore how solitude invites us into a cadence of reflective and responsive living. Rather than isolating us, this practice creates space for deeper awareness, clarity, and attentiveness.The gifts of solitude include a deepened love for God and a renewed love for others. As we practice solitude, we discover how to be alone without feeling lonely.
Also, here's the companion reflection guide and spiritual exercise to help you enter into stillness and silence this season of Advent.
