Welcome back to The Formed Life Podcast. I’m Virginia Wear Kujabi—and in today’s episode, we’re slowing down to talk about one of the most countercultural and life-giving practices in the life of faith: silence. If your soul has felt noisy lately… if your pace has felt rushed… if you’ve been longing to actually hear the still, small voice of God—this episode is for you. In this tender teaching, I share stories from my own formation journey and invite you to consider what it means to create intentional space for God to speak. We’ll talk about what silence is (and isn’t), how it forms us, and why the gentle whisper is often where the real transformation begins. This isn’t about escaping your real life—it’s about learning to encounter God right in the middle of it.   🕊 Resources Mentioned: 📘 Invitation to Solitude and Silence by Ruth Haley Barton – Find it here   🌿 Spiritual Practice for the Week: Set aside time to practice silence—no pressure, no perfection. Just be still. Let yourself be known. And afterward? Journal about what stirred in you.   ✨ Subscribe to The Formed Life Podcast and share this episode with someone who’s hungry for a deeper rhythm of grace. 📸 Let’s stay connected on Instagram: @vwear
