#316 What is Contemplative Spirituality and is it Biblical? With Bob DeWaay

June 29, 2025

Bob DeWaay joins the podcast to talk about his extensive research on the topic of contemplative spirituality. In this episode, we discuss figures like Richard Foster and Ruth Haley Barton, concepts like spiritual direction, lectio divina, and contemplative prayer. We compare these teachings and practices to scripture and see what the Bible says.
