About this episode

The episode discusses how prayer, solitude, and rest help center our lives amidst pressure and noise.

It’s relieved by the right rhythms. Truth #2: Jesus doesn’t follow the noise. He follows the mission. Truth #3: Isolation multiplies pressure. Community with God and others divides it.
