Silence, Solitude, Stillness: The Spiritual Disciplines We Need in a Noisy World

John Mark Comer, pastor and author of Into the Quiet, joins the show to discuss the spiritual damage caused by the relentless noise of modern life and the ancient practices of silence, solitude, and stillness. He explores how constant digital input fragments our attention and harms the soul, distinguishes between loneliness and chosen solitude, and draws on the monastic tradition—especially the Desert Fathers—to show how silence can surface inner struggles before it brings peace. Practical ways to weave quiet disciplines into everyday life are also offered.
