What if the freedom you’re looking for isn’t found in holding on—but in letting go? In this powerful message, we explore how true freedom begins when we surrender our fear, control, and past to God. With the symbol of a white flag, we’re reminded that in the Kingdom of God, surrender isn’t weakness—it’s the starting point of peace, healing, and real life.
In this heart-centered episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, Leah Chrest—author, preacher, Christian meditation teacher, and devoted mother—shares how grief, surrender, and faith reshaped her life. Leah opens up about her personal journey through trauma, her husband’s alcoholism, and his eventual passing, and how meditation helped her release control and anchor deeply in God’s presence.
David Meiners introduces a simple and gradual method for developing a daily meditation habit called the “One Minute Meditation.” Recognizing the challenges of stillness in an overstimulated world, this practice begins with just one minute of meditation per day, increasing by one minute each week.
David emphasizes that regular prayer and meditation are essential for spiritual growth and a deeper connection with God. Encouragement is given to remain committed despite possible internal or spiritual resistance, reminding listeners that deepening their relationship with God is a powerful and transformative experience.

I believe that God is asking me to speak from my heart to anyone who has ears to hear about the underlying scriptural foundation and reason for Christian meditation and contemplative prayer. So I am just going to obey Him, and speak what the Holy Spirit gives me in that moment.
