Not Your Parent's Religion - podcast cover

Not Your Parent's Religion

Hi, friends, I am your host, Pastor Robert Young, and welcome to Not Your Parents Religion Podcast. This podcast dives deep into the truths of faith and spirituality. In previous seasons, we focused on correcting misinformation about religious beliefs and practices, However, this new season brings a fresh perspective as we explore the power of Christian meditation. 

With our 30+ years of Church planting and mentoring other Pastors, 30+ years of training leaders in evangelism/discipleship and a deeper connection with God, let me guide you through calming, reflective and transformative meditative practices inspired by scripture. 

Through these moments of stillness and connection with God, we hope to help you deepen your faith and find inner peace.

Tune in each week as we lead you on a journey of spiritual exploration and renewal.
