Emily Robison Adams: Has God Gone Silent In Your Life? Or Is He Just Quiet?

Published: March 22, 2023, 11 a.m.

Emily Robison Adams remembers the feeling well\u2014like she\u2019d been put\xa0in a cast iron pot with the lid placed on top, unable to feel God\u2019s presence in her life. Shaken and disoriented,\xa0she tried everything she could think of to reach Him, and yet she felt nothing.\xa0God was silent. But at her mother\u2019s encouragement, Emily wrote down what she was experiencing\xa0through this supposed silence, and in the process she began to believe that God wasn\u2019t silent at all\u2014He was just being quiet, providing the necessary space for Emily to learn and grow. On this week\u2019s episode, Emily shares some of the principles that began to shift her paradigm and renew her belief that God really does know what each of us needs.

\u201cLeading life with an open hand instead of a closed fist has been really helpful to me and it\u2019s led me to a place where I\u2019m not certain about many things at all and astonishingly, that\u2019s the best place to be.\u201d \u2014Emily Robison Adams
