The Wilderness and The Well

#9 The Power of The Pause - Finding Stillness in Chicago

Cece Henderson

In this episode, Cece shares personal reflections from a recent trip to Chicago—originally intended as a work trip to deliver a training—but one that became an unexpected invitation from God to pause, breathe, and be refreshed.

Through the noise of the city, Cece discovered the quiet power of pausing—right in the middle of purpose and responsibility. Listen in as she explores what it means to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and create room for renewal, even when life doesn’t stop.

🗝️ What You’ll Take Away:

  • The importance of creating margin even during busy seasons
  • How God meets us in unexpected places with unexpected peace
  • Simple ways to pause in your everyday life
  • An invitation to step into your own Selah moment

📖 Scripture Highlight:

“Be still and know that I am God.”Psalm 46:10
“Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.”Mark 6:31
