Loving Silence and Solitude

Toby Artis continues our Lectio 365 series by exploring the theme of silence and solitude. In a culture shaped by noise, busyness, and constant activity, he invites us to step away and embrace a different rhythm. Silence and solitude aren’t just spiritual practices to add to a full schedule - they’re a reframing of life itself. Toby reminds us that when we fill every moment, we can miss the deeper work God wants to do in us. Creating intentional time and space allows God to reorient our hearts and form us into Christ’s likeness. The reward isn’t productivity, but the presence of God. Though silence can feel uncomfortable and surface what we’d rather avoid, choosing this path opens us to the transforming grace that has been available all along.
