We Need Silence

Become New with John Ortberg

Silence might be the most uncomfortable… and most transformative… practice in your life.

In a world filled with constant noise, distraction, and the pressure to always say something, the discipline of silence feels almost impossible. But what if silence is actually the doorway to peace, trust, and deeper connection with God?

In this teaching, we explore why silence matters, how it reshapes your inner life, and why learning not to speak can bring surprising freedom. Drawing from the wisdom of Dallas Willard and the example of Jesus, you’ll discover how silence helps you let go of control, release the need for approval, and experience a deeper sense of being “at home” with God.

If your life feels noisy, anxious, or driven by the need to prove yourself… this might be exactly what you need.
