As Christians, we often wait to hear what God tells us to do through His Word, and then decide if we want to obey or not. Yet, we as believers, are called to have a pre-decided yes and have a readiness to respond to anything God asks us, no matter what it is or the cost and inconvenience to our lives.

In this episode, Nathan talks about the proper posture of our souls and a special Hebrew word that conveys our needed response to God.

The beauty of the Christian life is that we live in what scholars often call the “now and not yet.”

In other words, while we have salvation and redemption NOW, there is also a waiting and longing for our future (completed) salvation and redemption.

Throughout Scripture, salvation is used in all three tenses: we were saved (past), are being saved (present), and will be saved (future).

In this episode, Nathan talks about the three tenses of our salvation and how we can find the beauty and profundity in our “now and not yet” lives.

Joshua 1:8 commands us “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

Biblical meditation is drastically different from New Age meditation. In biblical meditation, we are to fill up, ponder, consider, and think upon God's Word, His works, His life, the Cross, and the Gospel. In short, we should continually think upon Christ and His Word.

In this episode, Nathan discusses the concept of biblical meditation, why its so important to our spiritual lives, and gives four ideas to get you started.
