What Does “Be Still” Really Mean in the Bible?

What does it really mean to “be still” in the Bible, and are we misunderstanding it?

In this episode of The Journey We Share, Kayleigh and Inés take a deeper look at Exodus 14:14 and uncover the true, biblical meaning behind the phrase “be still.” Rather than passive silence or inaction, this teaching explores how the original Hebrew reveals a much richer idea: one rooted in active trust, surrender, and spiritual growth.

Using the story of the Israelites at the Red Sea, this episode answers key questions like:

  • What does “be still and know that I am God” actually mean?
  • How do you trust God when you feel anxious or overwhelmed?
  • What does the Bible say about waiting on God?
  • How can you stop striving and start surrendering?

Kayleigh and Inés explain how “being still” is less about doing nothing and more about choosing faith when circumstances feel out of control. It’s about allowing God to work, rather than trying to take matters into your own hands.

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Practice purposeful stillness in your daily life
  • Grow your faith through trust, even in uncertainty
  • Shift from anxiety and striving to peace and surrender
  • Recognize how God is working, even when you can’t see it yet

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to trust God in a difficult season, this episode offers a clear, Scripture-based perspective to help you find peace, grow in faith, and experience God’s presence in a deeper way.

This is a powerful reminder that the same God who made a way for the Israelites is still at work today, and he invites you to trust him fully.
