In the second message of the "Practicing the Way" series, Grant explored the practice of biblical meditation, contrasting it with secular mindfulness. While modern culture encourages emptying the mind, Grant emphasized filling it with God’s Word, using the Hebrew concept of hagar—to chew on truth until it becomes part of us. He introduced the ancient rhythm of Lectio Divina (Read, Meditate, Pray, Contemplate), using metaphors of a garden and a feast to illustrate moving from observation to resting in God’s presence. Grant challenged us to move beyond skimming for information and toward "eating the book," allowing the Spirit to renew our minds and transform our character. By ingraining Scripture into our hearts, we find rest for our souls and a deeper, life-changing interaction with the Living Word of God.
