Through powerful storytelling drawn from his own personal experience, Kim underscores the human need and desire to listen, as well as the implied need for quiet. In an age of speed and hurry, Kim offers both a sound rationale as well as tools to begin the journey of sincere listening and to pursue a more peaceful pace of life.

This episode highlights the following themes:
✅ The necessity of listening throughout all of life
✅ Pursuing a pace of peace in a chaotic world
✅ An introduction to The Examen prayer practice
✅ The significance of patient attention and quiet reflection in the spiritual journey

The world is full of noise. Many are exhausted by the cacophony and chaos of the modern, digital age, where peace is scarce and self-reflection is infrequent. In “The Digital Examen”, a new podcast from IVP, author and pastor Jay Y. Kim converses with a variety of leaders, pastors, and scholars who are working to reorient their lives in the direction of listening, tuning their hearts and minds to hear the voice of God in all of its clarity, kindness, and strength.
