The Holy Spirit doesn’t need you to be extroverted. Introverts have a direct line too.

Church culture can make loudness look like spirituality, which leaves quieter people assuming they are doing it wrong. Nothing about the Spirit requires volume or a crowd or a gift for talking in front of people. A prayer thought in your own head, alone, arrives exactly like one shouted at a conference.

Work with the way you are rather than against it this week. Pray on a walk, write instead of speak, serve one person instead of a room. Stop measuring your faith against somebody whose settings are simply different from yours.
