Welcome to the new season of the podcast, now titled "Growing Closer to God with Guided Meditation"!

Join your host, Pastor Robert Young, as we embark on a journey of spiritual exploration and renewal. This podcast is designed to help you deepen your faith and find inner peace through calming, reflective, and transformative meditative practices inspired by scripture.


Our Evolution

While the podcast, formerly known as Not Your Parent's Religion, focused in Seasons 1 and 2 on correcting misinformation and myths about religious beliefs and the teaching of Jesus Christ, the program has evolved. In Season 3, we began drawing closer to God with guided meditations, exploring all the details of why and how to meditate, and discussing the Biblical origins of Christian meditations.


With over 30 years of experience in Church planting and mentoring other Pastors, and 30+ years of training leaders in evangelism/discipleship, Pastor Young is here to guide you through these moments of stillness and connection with God.


What to Expect in Season 4

We are excited to return with Season 4 starting Sunday, October 5. We will continue to offer a structured weekly schedule:

  • Sundays: Our weekly guided meditation episode.
  • Monday through Friday: Daily devotions and reflections that expand on the topic of the Sunday meditations.
  • Wednesdays: Audio episodes of our House Church series. This series reflects the Bible's teaching that believers should gather together for corporate worship, fellowship, encouragement, and even admonishment.


For those seeking an enhanced experience, we are adding video versions of the meditations and devotions to our Patreon page. These videos are designed to give you a more immersive experience as you meditate on the Father, His teachings, and His presence.


Tune in each week as we lead you on this path to connecting more deeply with God.

  • Countdown to Connection: Live Virtual Guided Meditation Retreat | 6 days
    2026/07/12

    Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions. We stay connected to our phones, our schedules, and our responsibilities—but often lose connection with God, with ourselves, and with the quiet place where His voice can be heard.

    This isn't about escaping life. It's about intentionally making space for God's presence. Over the next few moments, slow your breathing, quiet your thoughts, and remember the words of Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God."

    Imagine the warmth of a sunrise, the calm of still waters, and the peace that comes from knowing Christ is with you. Let every breath remind you that you are loved, you are seen, and you are never alone.

    If you're longing for a deeper spiritual life, I invite you to join me for our Live Virtual Meditation Retreat. Together, we'll explore Scripture, guided Christian meditation, prayer, and sacred silence as we grow closer to the heart of God.

    The countdown has already begun. Register today with the links below.

  • What to Expect at Our Virtual Guided Meditation Retreat | Deep Dive with Dan & Sheila
    2026/07/05

    What changes when worship loses the crowd, the stage, and the subtle pressure to look “spiritual”? We explore a virtual retreat design that trades room energy for something rarer: unfiltered attention and a quieter, more honest focus on God. From your living room, porch, or a corner of your bedroom, the aim is simple and demanding: put aside distractions and enter God’s presence with clarity.

    We walk through the retreat’s step-by-step architecture for guided Christian meditation and spiritual formation. That starts with “clearing the clutter” through confession (Psalm 51) framed as freedom instead of shame, then moves into nervous system regulation with a 7-4-7 breathing rhythm (7-second inhale, 4-second hold, 7-second exhale) and full-body muscle relaxation. We also unpack why this matters biologically: longer exhales and deliberate release help settle fight-or-flight so your mind can actually tolerate stillness.

    From there, the focus turns to corporate yet distributed worship grounded in Psalm 100 and Psalm 8, and into scripture meditation on John 15:5 with one crucial boundary: not a sermon, an encounter. We close with the integration phase, including guided reflection, journaling, and scripture-based affirmations that act like a “save button” so the retreat’s peace can survive the stress of daily life. We also explain why the two-day schedule matters, with sleep doing real consolidating work overnight.

    The Virtual Guided Christian Meditation Retreat runs July 18th and 19th, 2026, starting at 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on both days. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs rest, and leave a review so more people can find it.
