#69 - Be Still: A Summer of Meditation No.2 - The Story of the Buddha – A Search for Peace

In this episode of Be Still: A Summer of Meditation, we go on a journey—not just back in time, but deep within the human heart. I'll take you through the powerful story of Siddhartha Gautama, the man who became the Buddha, and explore what his quest for meaning, peace, and awakening can teach us today—especially if you, like me, are trying to follow Jesus in a world that feels loud and chaotic. You'll hear how Siddhartha's path mirrors five profound truths in the life and teachings of Christ—truths that invite each of us to help others who are suffering, lean in to compassion, and live more consciously. This isn't just a history lesson. It's an inspiring story of how one man made a difference and what we can learn from him about meditation, surrender, and what it means to truly see. So wherever you're listening from—whether it's the car, the kitchen, or your own quiet corner—take a moment, be still, and join me in this captivating story of the Buddha. Because the path to peace often begins with a question: Is there more than this? Let's find out together.
