We live in a world of relentless noise — social media, deadlines, podcasts, expectations — and most of us never stop to ask why we still feel so empty. In this sermon from the "Living Like Jesus" series, Pastor Joel Hastings tackles the spiritual discipline of silence and solitude, and why Jesus practiced it more than almost anything else.

Drawing from Luke 5:15–16, Pastor Joel explores what it means to strategically withdraw — not to escape life, but to be filled up by God so you can pour out to others. Silence isn't about clearing your mind. It's about clearing away every other voice so you can finally hear His.

Here's a couple key takeaways

- Silence isn't passive — it's a strategic withdrawal that gives you the strength to re-engage with life and ministry.

- If every moment is full, don't be surprised when your soul feels empty — solitude is what makes space for God's voice.

- You don't need to wait for a perfect quiet moment; start small, make it a habit, and turn your worries into prayers.
