Silence is not merely negative—a pause between words, a temporary cessation of speech—but, properly understood, it is highly positive: an attitude of attentive alertness, of vigilance, and above all of listening. The person who has inner stillness or silence, is par excellence the one who listens. He listens to the voi

Prayer is a “heart-love” encounter, in union with God through Christ, in the person, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit.   Notable episode quotes: “Prayer is essentially the human response to the Word. We do not originate prayer; it is already going on in us." -Simon Chan   Other Resources: “Spiritual Theology” by Simon Chan “The Power of the Name” by Bishop Kallistos Ware

Welcome to Episode 044 of the “Awakening with Nathanael Wolf” podcast and radio broadcast.      In this episode, Nathanael continues a series entitled, "Spiritual Detox".   In this episode, you’ll discover: God seeks us out in self-communicating love, by invitation, for willing interaction, and for relational oneness in the shared Trinitarian life, to progressively incarnate Himself in us with his Spirit and character, so that he comes through our bodies into the material world.

God’s “future” kingdom breaks on us by the Holy Spirit and we, “taste … the powers of the coming age.” (Hebrews 6:4–5) Evil does not so much intrude into such intimate encounter; rather, it is manifested as God’s Spirit confronts its hold within us to drive it out and to heal us. This is spiritual d
