  • Rooted and Grounded in Love | Ephesians 3:16–21 Meditation
    This Christian Scripture meditation is the final episode in our 12-Step meditation journey. While the first 12 meditations followed the steps directly, this last one serves as a benediction—a blessing and prayer to carry with you as you continue your journey of transformation with God. Paul prayed Ephesians 3:16–21 over the church in Ephesus, and today we pray them for ourselves. They remind us that we are strengthened by the Spirit, rooted and grounded in love, and carried forward by God’s power to do more than we could ever ask or imagine. In this guided Lectio Divina meditation, you’ll be invited to: Trust God more deeply Thank Him for how He’s revealed His love to you Ask Him boldly for what you need Rest in the truth that He can do more than you could ask or think As you listen, may you be reminded that God’s love is your foundation, His Spirit is your strength, and His power is more than enough for whatever lies ahead. If this series has blessed you, would you take a moment to pass it on to someone else who might benefit?

Meditation Passage: Ephesians 3:16–21, NLTI pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

  • Live as Light | Matthew 5:14-16, Step 12 Meditation
    This Scripture meditation on Matthew 5:14–16 uses the lectio divina model to help you pause, breathe, and listen for God’s voice. Step 12 of the 12 Steps invites us to live out the hope and healing we’ve received and to share it with others. It says, Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs. When we experience the transforming grace of Jesus, the natural response is to let it overflow and share it with others. Or as Jesus said, “Freely you received, freely give.” In this meditation, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount, where He calls His followers the light of the world. Even the smallest light can break through darkness, and God’s invitation is simply to shine the light He has already placed within you. As you listen, you’ll be invited to: Reflect on what it means to be a light in the world. Notice how God may be calling you to share His hope and love. Rest in the truth that your light is enough, because it comes from Him. Take a deep breath, quiet your heart, and let Matthew 5 guide you into God’s presence.

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

  • Bonus: The Power of Biblical Meditation
    This bonus episode was recorded with the podcast But Jesus Drank Wine and Other Stories that Keep us Stuck. The hosts, Meade and Christy, are two “retired over-drinkers” turned Jesus-loving sobriety coaches. On the BJDW podcast, they dig into the stories and beliefs that kept them stuck in the cycle of over-drinking, including the ever-popular, “But Jesus drank wine?” Through grace-filled conversations about faith, sobriety, and life beyond alcohol, Meade and Christy bring honesty, humor, and vulnerability to every episode. Their goal? To help women discover that freedom is possible—not just from alcohol, but from any habit, hurt, or hang-up holding them back. You can find our more here: https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community And you can order Christy’s book: Love Life Sober: A 40 Day Alcohol Fast to Rediscover Your Joy, Improve Your Health, and Renew Your Mind 📲 Connect on Instagram: @butjesusdrankwine 📘 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why head knowledge isn’t enough, and how Scripture meditation moves truth from your mind to your heart and hands. The difference between Eastern “empty your mind” meditation and biblical “fill your mind” meditation. The brain science behind creating new grooves for peace instead of spirals of anxiety and craving. How to begin (even if you’re busy or intimidated!) with just five minutes a day. Why slowing down is essential for real transformation, and simple ways to start. How to help your kids recognize God’s voice and discern His leading. A sneak peek at the practices Jodie will teach live inside our community this October.

  • Rest, Receive, Respond | Psalm 46:10 & 23:1, Step 11 Meditation
    This Christian Scripture meditation is rooted in Step 11 of the 12 Steps:We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Step 11 is at the heart of spiritual formation. Through guided reflection and meditation on God’s Word, we will create space to listen for God’s voice, rest in His presence, and seek His will. In this episode, we’ll slow down with two short but powerful passages: Psalm 46:10 — Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 23:1 — The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. As you listen, you’ll be invited to: Rest in stillness before God. Receive His invitation to trust Him more deeply. Respond with prayer and openness to His Spirit. This meditation is a reminder that God’s ways are better than our own, His presence is with us, and His provision is enough. Take a deep breath, slow down, and let these Scriptures guide you into peace, trust, and renewed hope.

  • One Day at a Time | Proverbs 4:23–27, Step 10 Meditation
    This guided Christian meditation on Proverbs 4:23–27 invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reflect on God’s Word through the practice of Scripture meditation and Lectio Divina. Step Ten of the 12 Steps says: We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. This step is about keeping short accounts—paying attention when we wander from God’s path and returning quickly. The good news? God’s mercy never runs out. As Lamentations reminds us: “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Every day, every moment, can be a new beginning with Him. When we notice we’ve stepped away, His grace meets us right there. In this Scripture meditation on Proverbs 4, you’ll be guided to: Notice what God is drawing your attention to in His Word Reflect honestly on where you’ve wandered Rest in the truth that His mercy is always new Take a deep breath and let this meditation remind you to walk with God one step, one day, one moment at a time.
