Description
In this episode, Wes & TJ share their personal Christian meditation experiences and highlight its profound impact on their spiritual journeys. They differentiate Christian meditation from common misconceptions, particularly those rooted in Eastern mysticism. They underscore the foundational role of meditation in Christian spirituality, enabling believers to develop spiritual memory and enhance their engagement with other spiritual practices. Through intentional engagement with their thoughts, they gain practical insights into the inner workings of the mind. Meditation empowers individuals to impartially observe their thoughts, facilitating the identification of their source—whether from God, themselves, or external influences. Furthermore, the discussion explores how meditation cultivates presence, diminishing anxiety and fear by focusing on God's continuous presence. Christian meditation involves active observation and engagement with one's thoughts, allowing God's truth to counteract prevalent falsehoods in their minds. Ultimately, meditation extends an invitation to trust God wholeheartedly, as it encourages believers to set aside distractions and concentrate on Him. It offers an opportunity to embrace the rest and peace that only Christ can provide. Live Episode Recording Details: Join our interactive live recording sessions every Wednesday at 2pm CST.
