In a world of constant noise, speed, and distraction, many Christians read the Bible faithfully yet still feel disconnected from God. Why does Scripture feel informative but not transformative? Why do so many believers say, "I pray, but I don't hear God"?

In this episode of The Jake Giffin Podcast, Jake sits down with Chaz Becker, co-founder of Storied, to explore the ancient Christian practice of Lectio Divina and its relevance for modern discipleship. Together, they examine the tension between biblical meditation and mysticism, doctrine and experience, neuroscience and spiritual formation.

This conversation tackles hard questions Christians are already asking:

• Is Christian meditation biblical or dangerous?

• How do we discern God's voice without drifting into self-made revelation?

• Why speed, anxiety, and burnout are sabotaging spiritual depth

• How Scripture was meant to be encountered, not consumed

This is not a rejection of theology or Bible study. It's a challenge to recover stillness, attentiveness, and intimacy with God without compromising truth.

If you've ever felt spiritually dry, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you're actually hearing God, this episode is for you.
