    The Way of Life: Meditation
    Dec 26 2025

    In this episode, Brian Hedges invites listeners to choose between two paths of life: one flourishing and rooted by streams of water, the other fragile and blown away like chaff—drawing on the vivid imagery of Psalm 1. He then focuses on the spiritual practice of Christian meditation—delighting in God’s instruction and engaging deeply with Scripture day and night. His sermon challenges believers to move beyond mere activity and busyness toward a disciplined, joy-filled way of life grounded in the Word of God. He breaks down the psalm into these components:

    (8:12) 1. The Path

    (15:46) 2. The Picture

    (24:54) 3. The Practice
