Growing Closer to God with Guided Meditation
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.

Hi, friends, and welcome to today's episode of Not your Parents Religion Podcast. I am your host, Pastor Robert Young, and today I wanted to discuss a topic that may seem controversial but is extremely important, the role of Christian parents in teaching their children about Jesus. Through our extensive research and conversations with people in various communities, we've discovered a concerning trend. Too many Christian parents are leaving it up to chance or others to teach their children about faith and the teachings of Jesus. While it may seem harmless to let your children discover religion on their own or wait for a Sunday school teacher or even a youth pastor to guide them, this approach can have long-lasting negative effects. We are definitely seeing those effects more and more in our travels and conversations with young people. We had decided to make this report at the end of the season, but we keep running into this issue all the time.
Pastor Robert Young:And did you know that the Bible is clear about the importance of teaching children, your children, about God and his ways? In the book of Proverbs, chapter 22, verse 6, it says train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. This verse emphasizes the significance of instilling godly values and teachings in our children from a young age. In the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 6, verse 6 through 7, God instructs parents to impress his commandments on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. This highlights the vital role parents play in molding their children's spiritual development. By not teaching our children about Jesus, we are essentially neglecting our duty as Christian parents to raise them in the ways of the Lord. It is crucial that we prioritize their spiritual education and guide them in their walk of faith. I urge Christian parents to take an active role in nurturing their children's faith and guiding them on their spiritual journey. By instilling a strong foundation in the teachings of Jesus, we can equip our children to navigate the ever-changing morals and attitudes of our world with grace and strength.
Pastor Robert Young:Thank you for joining us on today's episode. I hope that this discussion has been informative and encouraging for all parents out there. Remember it's never too early or too late to start teaching your children about Jesus and the importance of faith in their lives.
