Why Biblical Meditation Might Be the Discipline You’re Missing

from afterWord with Pastor Kent · host NorthCreek Church

In this episode of afterWord, we continue our conversation on private worship — not just time in the Word, but the often-overlooked discipline of biblical meditation. What does it mean to truly meditate on Scripture? How does it differ from the emptying practices of the world? Why do so many believers rush through the Word without lingering in it?Together, we explore how biblical meditation awakens the affections, anchors us in trials, and fuels meaningful prayer. With reflections on Psalm 1, Psalm 19, Joshua 1, and more, we unpack how meditation isn't passive but active — a way to fill the mind and stir the soul.Whether you’re battling distraction, box-checking habits, or a desireless heart, this episode encourages you to slow down, press in, and be “swallowed up into God.” Join us as we recover this vital grace.
