Hi, friends, I am your host, Pastor Robert Young, and welcome to Not Your Parents Religion Podcast. This podcast dives deep into the truths of faith and spirituality. In previous seasons, we focused on correcting misinformation about religious beliefs and practices, However, this new season brings a fresh perspective as we explore the power of Christian meditation.
With our 30+ years of Church planting and mentoring other Pastors, 30+ years of training leaders in evangelism/discipleship and a deeper connection with God, let me guide you through calming, reflective and transformative meditative practices inspired by scripture.
Through these moments of stillness and connection with God, we hope to help you deepen your faith and find inner peace.

#146 Guided Meditation: Joy Beyond Human Emotions!
Do you seek to experience the fullness of joy every day? Join us as we journey through scripture and meditation to discover how to embrace and share divine joy. This week, we’ll begin by lifting our hearts in thanksgiving and praise, guided by Psalms 100:4. Through deep breaths and gentle muscle relaxation, we’ll invite the calming presence of God into our lives. Envision yourself in a tranquil meadow, basking in the warmth of the Creator’s light, as we reflect on Psalms 16:11 and its promise of eternal joy.
Together, we’ll ponder how to carry this profound joy into our daily lives and extend it to those around us. With reflective questions and affirmations, we’ll internalize the message of God's everlasting love and joy. Repeat the powerful affirmation, “Lord, I receive your fullness of joy and thank you for the strength to tell others about the complete joy of being in your presence,” and let it guide you through the week. Conclude this time knowing that you are cherished beyond measure and that God’s joy and guidance are ever-present. Amen.

Welcome to this week's guided Christian meditation on ullness of joy. Our scripture is coming from Psalms chapter 16, verse 11. But first let's enter into worship by focusing on Psalms chapter 100, verse 4, psalms chapter 100, verse 4, where it tells us to enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.
Pastor Robert Young:Take a moment to lift up your voice in praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father, who is worthy of all honor and glory.
Pastor Robert Young:Before we start to reflect on the book of Psalms, chapter 16, verse 11, let's get a little bit more centered. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths as you invite the presence of God to fill you. Now take a few deep breaths in for a count of seven. old the breath for a count of five and slowly exhale for a count of seven. Repeat the muscle as always. Don't hold your breath for this portion of the meditation. Let's begin with the calf muscles. Lightly tense these muscles for a count of three, now release. Moving upward to the hamstrings, quads and glutes Lightly tense for three seconds, now release. Moving to the chest and the back lightly tense for three seconds, now release. Finally, moving to the arms and the shoulders. Lightly tense these muscles for three seconds Now release.
Pastor Robert Young:As we begin to reflect on Psalms, chapter 16, verse 11, magine yourself standing in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush green grass. Imagine the sun is shining brightly overhead, casting a warm and comforting light. Shining brightly overhead, casting a warm and comforting light. Feel the gentle breeze as it brushes against your skin, carrying with it a sense of peace and godly tranquility. As you soak in the beauty of this setting, allow the words of Psalm chapter 16 and verse 11 to wash over you. This verse says Thou will show me the path of life. In thy presence is fullness of joy. At thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Take a moment to reflect on what it means to walk in the path of life that God has laid out for you
Pastor Robert Young:1how the next two minutes reflect on the following questions One, how can I carry this sense of
Pastor Robert Young:Tw peace with me as I go about my day? Two, how can I share this joy and peace with others who may be in need
Pastor Robert Young:of the same comfort and reassurance? Thank you, thank you. Now.,\ Lord,
Pastor Robert Young:the next seven days and for the next seven days, lord, I receive your fullness of joy and thank you for the strength to tell others about the complete joy of being in your presence. Again, lord, I receive your fullness of joy and thank you for the strength to
Pastor Robert Young:tell others about the complete joy of being in your presence.
