Sarah Geringer joins Amber to discuss Christian meditation. What is it? How does it differ from Scripture memorization? And how it can transform your thought life.
Questions on Christian Mediation Sarah and Amber Discuss:- (8:01) In today’s culture, we hear the word meditation and think “namaste” or emptying our mind completely and focusing on self, but meditation is a Christian practice. How would you describe Christian meditation?
- (11:19) How is meditation expressed in the language of the Bible? Is it a biblical concept?
- (13:17) How did the practice of Biblical meditation become a part of your spiritual toolbox?
- (17:17) Did you realize you needed healing when the journey began?
- (22:25) What are some practical ways one can begin to practice Christian meditation?
- (25:15) Share a bit about the books you have written on Christian meditation and your hope for them?
- (29:32) What is the difference between Christian meditation and Scripture memory?
- (33:36) How have you experienced the sufficiency of God’s grace in your life?
“[Christian meditation] in the Psalms, it’s talking about focusing on and repeating God’s laws, God’s precepts, God’s character, God’s promises, all those things that we need to focus on to be equipped to live the Christian life.”
“It [Christian meditation] started releasing me from the bondage of codependency, of people pleasing, of seeking approval from others for my identity, it really changed everything for me.”
“God meets us where we’re at, whatever struggle we’re in right now. He can pull those words right off the page, and minister to us, wherever we need it.”
“Meditation is really slowing down, taking the time to process it [the Word], work through it, apply it to your life.”
When I encounter a verse, I have three questions I ask:
- What does this tell me about God?
- What does this tell me about myself?
- And what does this tell me about how I should treat other people?
