Turning down the volume this Lent // Q&A with Beth + Steph

In our busy, always-connected lives, it can be hard to find moments of true silence—yet it’s in silence that we can hear God’s voice and deepen our relationship with Him.Join us for this Q&A as we discuss the power of silence in our spiritual lives, practical ways to turn down the volume (bye-bye apps?), the gift of solitude - and we get it, sometimes it feels more like a curse than a gift! We will also look into breaking free from distractions and dare we say it, living out silence as a family (or with our loved ones).As always, we want to hear your thoughts and experiences of embracing the stillness. How can we “turn down the volume” in our lives this Lent to hear God more clearly and grow deeper in faith?
