    177: How Solitude in the Wild Calms the Nervous System and Helps Men Hear God and Recover Their True Name

    Today, solitude is where God wants to meet you. After Jesus was named at his baptism, he was led into the wilderness, and the first thing the tempter said was “If you are the Son of God.” The old self still does that. It shows up in the quiet and offers a shortcut to a name that isn’t yours. Time alone in nature calms the nervous system, so a man can hear what is true and recover the name that was already his. In this episode you will learn: You learn what you are made of in the wildernessThe old self is always trying to call you backYour action step: go into the woods alone and see what is there, as a walking meditationClick play now if you have been too busy and too loud to hear God, and you are ready to go somewhere quiet and listen.
