#70 - Be Still: A Summer of Meditation | Episode 3 "The Buddha and The Four Noble Truths: Why We Suffer—And the Surprising Way Out"

Life hurts sometimes. We get overwhelmed, stuck in our own heads, and desperate for peace. And if you've ever wondered why it's so hard to find it, this episode is going to help you understand more clearly. Today, I'm sharing the core of what the Buddha taught—The Four Noble Truths—not to preach a different gospel, but to point to the deeper truth: that God meets seekers wherever they are. That truth is truth, wherever it's found. And that Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, invites us to learn, grow, and awaken to the patterns that keep us from Him. In this episode, we'll explore: 🔹 Why human suffering runs deeper than just difficult circumstances 🔹 How craving and clinging rob us of joy 🔹 The surprising overlap between Buddhist teachings and Christ's invitation to "come unto Me" 🔹 A simple meditation inspired by Alma the Younger's story—to help you catch hold of a healing thought. This one is honest. It's for the seeker in you—and the disciple who wants to learn how to suffer less and live more fully in the Spirit and hear Him.
