After 228 episodes as "Not Your Parents' Religion," Pastor Robert Young's podcast is embracing its natural evolution with a new name that truly reflects what the show has become: "Growing Closer to God with Guided Meditation."

The transformation isn't just cosmetic—it's a strategic realignment. What began as a podcast focused on correcting theological misconceptions gradually shifted toward practical spiritual application through guided meditation. As one of our co-hosts aptly puts it, "It's less like an abrupt U-turn and more like the sign on the building finally catching up to the business being done inside." This change acknowledges that while debunking myths served as an essential foundation, the true value now lies in helping listeners build consistent spiritual habits.

What makes this transition particularly compelling is how it's anchored in Pastor Young's extensive credentials. With over three decades of church planting, mentoring other pastors, and training leaders in discipleship, the shift to meditation represents the culmination of a lifetime spent refining ways to guide people into deeper Christian practice. The new direction isn't lighter—it's arguably a deeper spiritual dive, guided by someone with a proven track record of operational success in applied faith principles. For you as a listener, this means the meditative practices offered aren't trending spiritual techniques, but scripturally-rooted disciplines led by someone who has demonstrated their effectiveness through years of practical ministry.

Ready to experience the transformation? Season Four launches Sunday, October 5th. Subscribe now to join us on this journey from intellectual understanding to practical spiritual growth through calming, reflective meditation designed to connect your inner peace with purposeful external living.
