What Is Christian Meditation? (A Biblical Definition)

Prefer YouTube? Watch it there.

Christian meditation is the biblical discipline of giving God your sustained, deliberate attention through Scripture. Most Christians have never been taught it—and the word itself has been colonized by Eastern religion, mindfulness apps, and therapeutic culture. This video walks through what biblical meditation actually means, where Scripture commands it, and what it looks like when an ordinary believer begins to meditate.

What's Covered

  • The biblical definition: filling the mind with Scripture, not emptying it
  • Where Scripture roots meditation (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1, Psalm 77, 1 Timothy 4:15)
  • The Hebrew word hagah and what it actually means
  • What this looks like when you begin to meditate on Scripture
