Don't Quit in the Quiet: Finding Strength in Stillness

Still Standing with Tele

Have you ever shared something deeply meaningful only to hear crickets in response? That deafening silence can make quitting feel like the only logical option.
This episode explores the profound purpose behind those quiet seasons that make us question our path. Drawing from the biblical story of Elijah—depressed and hiding in a cave after witnessing miracles—we uncover how God often speaks not through dramatic displays but through a still, small voice that requires our stillness to hear.
The quiet isn't punishment or irrelevance; it's a sacred classroom. When nothing seems to be happening externally, something powerful is developing beneath the surface. Just as a tree's most significant growth happens underground before blossoming, our seasons of apparent silence are often where our deepest formation occurs.
We examine Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God," uncovering how this ancient wisdom contradicts our culture's obsession with productivity, visibility, and constant validation. The stillness we resist might be exactly what we need to receive clear direction and renewed purpose.
If you're feeling unheard, overlooked, or wondering if your work matters, this episode offers a perspective shift that will help you stay rooted when quitting seems easier. Remember: you haven't been forgotten, you aren't failing, and your calling hasn't been cancelled. You're simply being refined in the quiet for what comes next.
