A Meditation to Bring a Greater Peace into Your Body from Proverbs 14v30
15:26 | 07-14-2026
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God’s presence. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. Notice: During the summer months, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, a new episode of this podcast will appear once a week each Tuesday morning. Proverbs 14:30 NIV “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” John 21:17-23 NIV Jesus said, “…Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” 20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” 22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” Who can you share this podcast with?

A Meditation to Choose to Believe God’s Everlasting Love for You from Jeremiah 31v3
13:18 | 07-07-2026
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God’s presence. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. Notice: During the summer months, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, a new episode of this podcast will appear once a week each Tuesday morning. God says to his people… Jeremiah 31:3 (ESV) “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” What if you were able to actually believe this. All the time. In every circumstance. No matter what. You were able to see through the fog and trust that God‘s word is true. That you had the same view of God your Father as Jesus had. Jesus was confident – always confident – and the father‘s love for him. And taught that God‘s love for us is just as much as his love for Jesus. John 17:23–“…have loved them even as you have loved me.” Then Jesus affirms God‘s love for him even before the creation of the world (John 17:24). Joshua 1:5-6 (NIV) “…I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous.” 1 Chronicles 22:13 (NIV) “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” Who can you share this podcast with?
