Emmaus Walk 43: An Invitation
Idaho just passed a law most of us will never think twice about — sixty seconds of silence, once a day, in every public school classroom. Easy to scroll past. Easy to file under "state legislature news" and move on with your morning.
But what if that one minute is holding something far bigger than a headline?
In this week's Emmaus Walk, I want to sit with you in that silence — not to argue politics, but to ask a deeper question about what we've lost, what we're starving for, and what a single minute of stillness might actually be capable of giving back to us in a world that never stops talking.
I think you'll see this law differently by the end.
Walk with me. Watch Emmaus Walk 43.
