À propos de cet audio

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.

  • Renew Your Mind Day 21 | Week 3 Wrap-up
    Jan 24 2026

    Send us a text

    What if your purpose isn’t something you find, but something you practice? We close our week on worship with a focused reflection on why praise isn’t a side ritual—it’s the center of a clear, grounded, joyful life. Pastor Young unpacks how turning our attention back to God reframes identity, simplifies decisions, and restores peace in the middle of a noisy world.

    We explore worship as the lens that brings everything else into focus. Rather than chasing meaning through endless self-searching, we talk about aligning identity with the One who made us and receiving the mental clarity that follows. You’ll hear why God didn’t create puppets—He created people with emotions, creativity, and voice—and how genuine worship invites your full self to the table. That honesty leads to freedom, not restriction, and to real joy rooted in presence rather than circumstance.

    You’ll also get practical about making worship a daily rhythm in the Renew Your Mind 30-day challenge. From simple prayers and Scripture to gratitude and song, these small acts form a steady pattern that shapes choices, tempers anxiety, and keeps purpose front and center. Anchored by the promise that “in Your presence is fullness of joy,” this reflection offers a gentle push to return your attention to the Creator and let worship lead your day.

    If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs focus and hope, and leave a review to help others find the show. Then tell us: what’s one way you’ll make worship your daily practice today?

  • Renew Your Mind Day 20 | Worship Shapes How You Live
    Jan 23 2026

    What if worship didn’t start with a song but with your next choice? We open Colossians 3:17 and take it off the page, asking how a life—every task, reply, errand, and pause—can be done in the name of Jesus. Instead of chasing a feeling, we lean into a practice: attention to the ordinary and a simple affirmation that brings our hearts back to center when hurry and distraction pull us away.

    We explore the everyday places where faith lives or fades—how you speak when you’re tired, how you treat a colleague who needs patience, how you respond to interruptions when your plans feel tight. By reframing worship as a lived life, we find meaning in small acts and integrity in unseen moments. The affirmation “My life reflects the One I adore” becomes a subtle but steady compass, helping us choose kindness over impulse, presence over performance, and honor over habit. It’s less about getting everything right and more about returning, again and again, to the One who makes our work, words, and rest holy.

    To ground the reflection, we slow down for a brief guided practice and close with a prayer: “Lord, let my life be worship today.” If you’re longing for a faith that breathes in your schedule and not just your services, this short episode offers a simple way to begin. Subscribe for more reflections like this, share it with someone who needs a reframe today, and leave a review to help others find these moments of quiet focus. How will you let your next action reflect the One you adore?
