I love this talk and ran across it in my email, a positive form of click bait, yes. Thank you for your participation and contributions in supporting men's growth. The issue I am struggling with is that indeed "Holiness is silence" (In reference to the title of the article), Holiness may require dying to ones self for the purpose of loving God and loving others. To be a steady, humble servants of God, servant leader to our families and community you absolutely need prayer, silent prayer, deep prayer and adoration to God and His Laws. Make time to pray, embrace the silence with God and all other things in life will fall into place (Service without prayer is unguided, service, No matter how chaotic life gets, there is always time to pray). Make it your priority.

Thanks for chiming in! You are 100% right about the need for prayer in service. Without that connection to God the service can become just self-directed effort. The goal of the article, and I may not have said this clearly, is that our service can, and should, itself become prayer. God is present even in the hustle and bustle of every day life.
