Chapter

What is Christian Meditation and how is it different from other kinds of meditation?

In this podcast we will:

Explore what Christian meditation is and isn’t.

Discuss where we see meditation in Scripture.

Explore the benefits of meditation for our mind and body.

Discuss how meditating on God’s Word helps us hear from God.

Unpack exactly what Lectio Divina is and how we use this mediation method on the So Much More podcast.



I also share my personal testimony of how God used the practice of meditation to transform my life.

And you will experience a brief taste of what guided Christian mediation is.



If you’re ready to start exploring Christian meditation, I’d love to be a part of your journey. I recommend subscribing to the So Much More: Creating Space for God podcast on whatever platform you listen to podcasts.



I also encourage you to join my Monday email newsletter here.

The passages we discussed in this podcast are as follows:

Psalm 1:1-2, CSB

1 How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!

2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,

and he meditates on it day and night.

John 16:12-13, NIV

 12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Philippians 4:6-8, NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
