Is meditation biblical?

Many people today meditate by emptying their minds, repeating mantras, connecting with “the universe,” awakening their “higher self,” or looking within themselves for truth. But the Bible also talks about meditation, so what is the difference?

In this episode, we compare biblical meditation and New Age meditation and explore the foundational question: What are you meditating on, and where are you looking for truth?

New Age spirituality often turns inward to find identity, power, truth, and enlightenment. Biblical meditation turns our attention toward God, His Word, His character, and His truth.

We'll look at:

What meditation actually means

The origins and themes of New Age meditation

Why emptying your mind is different from renewing your mind

The difference between “the universe” and the God of the Bible

Why Christians are not God—and why that matters

How Scripture teaches us to meditate

What Psalm 1, Joshua 1, Philippians 4, and Romans 12 teach us

How biblical meditation can become a lifestyle of remaining aware of God throughout the day

The question isn't whether you will meditate. The question is what you will meditate on.

📖 “Blessed is the one... whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” — Psalm 1:1–2
