What is Inner Stillness? An interview with Fr. Michael Gillis.

What is inner stillness, and what does it have to do with recovery? Why do we need stillness to master the passions? How do we practice stillness? What is the usefulness of inner stillness when the outer world has so many problems and demands so much attention? In I am joined by Fr. Michael Gillis, who is an Orthodox priest at Holy Nativity Orthodox Church in Langley, British Columbia. Fr. Michael shares about inner stillness, “hesychasm”, spiritual growth, and social justice as understood in the Orthodox Christian Church. Fr. Michael’s other reflections on the inner life and spiritual growth can be found on the podcast “Praying in the Rain.” http://www.holynativitychurch.ca/ https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/prayingintherain The Outer Circle, Inner Stillness is a listener supported production of New Pattern Counseling.
