What is contemplative spirituality, and why has it become so influential in many churches today? In this episode of Equipping You in Grace, Dave Jenkins and Marcia Montenegro examine contemplative spirituality through the lens of Scripture and explain why mystical experience must never replace the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. Together they discuss: • contemplative prayer and silence practices • biblical meditation vs Eastern meditation • spiritual formation movements • mystical spirituality • the misuse of Scripture • the sufficiency and clarity of Scripture • discernment and spiritual deception This conversation calls Christians to test every teaching by God's Word and to remain anchored in the truth of Scripture rather than subjective spiritual experience. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: The Means of Grace — Theology for Life https://servantsofgrace.org/theology-for-lifepage/oct-2025-means-of-grace/ Contemplative Spirituality and Biblical Discernment https://servantsofgrace.org/contemplative-spirituality-biblical-discernment/ Christian Answers for the New Age https://www.christiananswersnewage.com/?s=contemplative+spirituality For more from Equipping You in Grace, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/equipping-you-in-grace-2/
