[Ep 94] Entering the Silence and Stillness with God: A Conversation with Blogger and Writer Celia Miller

In case you haven't noticed it, we've kind of had a theme going on these past few weeks, and that is finding God in the silence. So when I saw Celia Miller's Advent devotional called Be Still & Know and have been reading about her own journey into silence and stillness, I invited her back to the podcast to share with us. We talk about how Celia was introduced to the spiritual practice of silence, her initial response, ways we can incorporate silence into our daily lives, and why silence with God can be so powerful. Kari   MEET CELIA: Celia resides in Greenwood, Indiana with her husband, Max, and two furbabies, Henry and Hattie. She's an avid pursuer of good storytelling and loves to spend her free time getting lost in a good book or movie. Celia is a writer and blogger who aims to help you cultivate an intimate relationship with the Lord by giving you the tools you need to slow down, seek still moments, and behold God's presence with you in the everyday. She's the author of a Bible study titled, You Are Beloved: a 21-day study on how to root your identity in the love of God, which is available now exclusively on Amazon.
