In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins and Marcia Montenegro examine Peter Scazzero's Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and the broader movement of emotional mysticism in the church. They explain how contemplative practices and psychology-driven spirituality replace the sufficiency of Scripture with self-focused introspection. Through biblical discernment and biblical clarity, Dave and Marcia call believers to stand firm on the truth of God's Word, to test every teaching by Scripture, and to grow through the ordinary means of grace: Word, prayer, fellowship, and worship. Topics Covered: • The roots and influence of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality. • The danger of contemplative spirituality and mysticism. • The difference between emotional maturity and spiritual maturity. • How the Bible teaches us to steward emotions under the Lordship of Christ. • Encouragement for those coming out of deception. Key Takeaway: True growth in Christ is not found in emotional introspection or mystical practices but through the Spirit-empowered, Word-anchored life of obedience and faith.
