Melissa Overmyer, author of Living the Blessed Life: Seven Keys to Trusting God and Embracing Joy, joins the Son Rise Morning Show to explore the second “S” in her BLESSED acronym: silence. Melissa explains how silence, fasting, and detachment train the soul to surrender our own desires and become more receptive to God’s presence. Drawing from her own experience of losing everything in a house fire, she shares how suffering can become an offering of love and how moving from resignation to genuine consent to God’s will can transform the way we carry our crosses. She also offers practical ways to incorporate more silence, detachment, and fasting into everyday life.
