In our sermon series, The Life God Has Always Wanted For You, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how biblical solitude is the intentional, temporary absence of human activity in order to more fully know God, including: THE PATTERN OF SOLITUDE IN SCRIPTURE (Deuteronomy 9:18; 1 Kings 19; Acts 9:9; Galatians 1:15–17; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16; Matthew 14:23), THE PRINCIPLE OF SOLITUDE (Psalm 46:10), and THE PRACTICE OF SOLITUDE (with Lisa Watrous). This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, July 13, 2025.
