Breaking Free from the Noise

In a world filled with constant distractions, how do we make space to hear God’s voice? In this episode of The Average Pursuit, Jon explores the power of silence and solitude, drawing from Mark 1:35, where Jesus intentionally withdrew to be alone with the Father.

We’ll unpack how the noise of everyday life—social media, work, entertainment—can drown out God’s gentle whisper, just as Elijah experienced in 1 Kings 19. Jon shares practical steps for scheduling silence, removing distractions, and listening expectantly to God’s leading.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or disconnected, this episode is an invitation to slow down and rediscover the peace that comes from stillness. The world may never get quieter, but we can choose to break free from the noise and make room for what truly matters.

Tune in and take the 10-minute silence challenge—because God is always speaking. The question is, are we listening?
