There is no doubt that the world is filled with a lot of stress and tension right now. The unknown is a big factor for many people, and fear is often a big motivator. In today’s episode I sit down with Wesley Cate as we talk about how to find peace and stillness in the midst of chaos. He tells us some concrete ways that we can find that inner quietness despite the world being filled with a lot of noise.
We also dive into why it’s extremely important as leaders to maintain a sense of calm during this time, when many people are looking for an anchor in the storm. Wesley talks us through using creation even during a time of high stress to help us to bring peace to ourselves and to those around us. We delve into the importance of building and strengthening our relationships with those around us. We rely heavily on those that are around us and we also need to make sure we are helping to lift them up and encourage them.
