Does meditation really belong in the Christian life, or does it pull us away from God? In this episode, Nathaniel Binversie reflects on the difference between emptying yourself and opening yourself to Someone. While much of the world speaks about detaching, zoning out, or inventing your own identity, Christian meditation is about relationship, about making space to receive who you are from the Father. Drawing on the truth that we are made for communion, not isolation, he shows how silence becomes powerful when it leads to union with Christ.
