It is an invitation to stop running long enough to listen—to God, to your soul and to the still small voice we often miss in the noise. Dr. Konstantinos Zarras is a Greek theologian, scholar, faculty member and researcher in the Department of Theology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) in Greece whose work explores the intersection of Scripture, faith and the human soul. Listen as Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Dr. Zarras for a thoughtful and deeply reflective conversation about anxiety, prayer, silence and the search for peace in an increasingly noisy world. Drawing from both Scripture and the Christian tradition, Dr. Zarras offers a perspective that feels both ancient and urgently relevant. Together, they explore what it means to move beyond surface-level religion and allow God to work at the level of the heart. Dr. Zarras explains why Jesus consistently addressed the inner life first—teaching that peace, conflict, forgiveness and even violence all begin within us before they ever appear around us. The conversation also dives into prayer in a way many listeners may not expect. Rather than beginning with words, Dr. Zarras describes prayer as beginning with silence: emptying our distracted minds so there is room to receive the presence of God. Dr. Evans and Dr. Zarras discuss how modern life, constant technology and endless noise have left many spiritually exhausted—and why slowing down may be one of the most important spiritual practices of our time. They also talk about family, emotional health, faith during hardship and the connection between inner peace and healthy relationships. Along the way, Dr. Zarras shares insights about the Lord’s Prayer, the “prayer of the heart” and why making space for God daily is not lost time, but an investment that changes the way we live. If your life feels crowded, anxious or spiritually tired, this conversation will help you breathe again. ——————————————————————— The Unbound Podcast is a weekly space for conversations that don’t rush to conclusions.
