Have you ever believed and doubted at the same time? You’re not alone. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer shaped by the 12 steps.

Step Two says: “We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” If Step One was I can’t, Step Two is the hopeful turn toward God can.

In this imaginative prayer, you’ll enter the story of a desperate father who brings his son to Jesus for healing. He longs to believe God can help him, yet struggles with doubt. His words echo the tension so many of us feel: “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

This meditation invites you to step into the scene and experience Jesus’s compassion in the very places where faith and doubt live side by side.

Where do you need God’s help today? He knows exactly what you are facing — and He wants to help.

Take a deep breath and let this meditation remind you that while we can’t, God can.

Today’s Scripture: Mark 9:20–24 (NLT)

So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.
“How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy. The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you aren’t alone. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and faith‑based guided prayer.

This series is shaped by the twelve steps—a time‑tested path to spiritual healing and transformation—because we all have hurts, habits, or hangups that hold us back. Whether or not you consider yourself an addict, these meditations are for you.

We all long for lives characterized by freedom—lives rooted and grounded in God and His goodness. But the truth is, we all struggle. Step One helps us admit what we feel but don’t want to name: we are powerless over our deepest problems and our lives can become unmanageable. That honest admission isn’t despair; it’s the threshold of grace—the place we discover that while we can’t, God can. And He wants to.

In today’s meditation, we sit with Romans 7:21–25, where Paul wrestles with the push and pull we all know—the desire to follow God and the struggle with sin. You’ll be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest, opening your heart to the healing and wholeness God wants to bring.

Here's todays meditation Scripture: Romans 7:21–25 (NLT)

I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.
Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

In this final meditation of the Fully Known, Fully Loved series, we return to the very heart of the gospel: God’s love.

Through the familiar but powerful words of John 3:16–18—read from The Message—we’re reminded that God didn’t send Jesus to accuse or condemn, but to rescue. To restore. To love.

Whether you’ve known Jesus for decades or are still exploring what faith means, this meditation invites you to slow down and let the truth of God’s extravagant love settle deeply into your soul.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on how you first came to know Jesus
• Thank God for the people who led you to Him
• Lift up someone you’re praying for who doesn’t yet know Christ
• Rest in the truth that you are fully known and still fully loved

Let the words of this passage remind you:
God loves you deeply, completely, and eternally.

Meditation Passage:

John 3:16–18, The Message Translation
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.
Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.
