Christian Meditation: The Science-Backed Way to Cut Anxiety & Find Clarity with Jennifer Tucker

I am so thrilled about today’s episode because it’s about something we all crave—peace, clarity, and a deeper, more meaningful connection with God. The fabulous Jennifer Tucker, the author of Breath as Prayer and Present in Prayer, joins me, and we’re diving into a life-changing topic.

 

We’re talking about Christian meditation and breath prayers—beautifully simple yet deeply transformative practices that calm anxiety, quiet the mind, and draw us closer to God. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or struggled to find stillness in the chaos, this conversation is exactly what you need.

Let’s explore this together!
