Mindfulness is a modern practice across secular and other religious communities, but what exactly is it and how are Christians supposed to practice it?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie answer a listener question related to the topic of mindfulness. We break down various definitions of this practice, then get into what biblical mindfulness looks like. We talk through Scriptures that can help us focus on what God wants us to focus on and look at the benefits of being mindful, especially when it comes to living in such a busy and anxious culture. Our hope is that you can learn how to be a little bit more biblical mindful as you listen to this episode!
