What if the quiet moments you often avoid are the very spaces where God wants to shape you most? In this episode of Sunday Ripple, Rob unpacks the surprising gift of silence and why it’s so hard for us to sit still in a noisy world.

Drawing from a two-week rafting trip down the Yukon River—150 miles of pure stillness with no cell service, no crowds, and even a surreal shale fire—plus the everyday contrast of early morning Scripture and prayer before his family’s daily chaos begins, Rob explores how silence isn’t empty at all. It’s full of God’s presence.

You’ll discover:

• Why silence feels so uncomfortable at first
• How noise numbs us to God’s whisper
• Practical ways to practice silence in daily life
• The lasting gift of letting God shape you in the stillness

If you’ve ever longed to hear God’s voice more clearly but felt drowned out by distractions, this episode will encourage you to carve out sacred space and lean into the gentle whisper.
