In this episode, Ellen and Georgia open up about the rhythms of retreat, rest, and pilgrimage in their own lives. Georgia reflects on her recent journey to the island of Iona in Scotland—an experience filled with awe, joy, and the surprising intimacy of being “whisked away” by God. Ellen shares her anticipation (and nerves) about an upcoming silent retreat, unpacking what it means to step away from constant noise and distraction to be still in God’s presence.
Together, they wrestle with the sacrifice and reward of carving out intentional space with God, comparing it to a honeymoon or getaway in a marriage—demanding effort, but always worth it. They discuss the role of silence, joy, and letting go of agendas, offering both theological insight and practical encouragement for listeners who long for more spaciousness in their lives.
Whether your “pilgrimage” looks like three days in the Highlands, a one-hour walk, or simply a Sabbath at home, this conversation invites you to consider how God might be wooing you into deeper rest and relationship with Him.
