Encountering Peace: Meditation

There are very few recorded voices that I find soothing. Drew’s voice is at the top of that short list. The contents of the meditations are so gentle, yet profound. I love Encounter.

This is the best meditation app to have a peaceful moment with Gods word.

Great offering to do this. Very good messages and topics. The music is meditative but the style of speaking isn’t and is more like an audiobook than a meditation (slow, soft) style of speaking. A blessing to offer this and using a meditative style of speaking (slow, soft) would greatly improve it.

I absolutely LOVE the Encounter app!! I originally found an Encounter sleep mediation on YouTube and realized they also have an app, so I immediately downloaded it. Each meditation and Bible reading within the app is free (which is outstanding), and Encounter is the first organization I’ve found with a solid mission statement that has biblically sound doctrine with meditations based in the Word of God. It’s wonderful to have a go-to option for winding down and relaxing at night that’s biblically based and trustworthy so I know I can trust it and it doesn’t lead to feeling uncomfortable from any new-age content. Thank you, Encounter, for making your platform and app accessible across multiple contexts! I’m SO grateful for this app and the meditations provided through Encounter!!

I have an iphone SE. I have enjoyed listening to Encounter for a long time but a few months ago it stopped working. I can no longer get audio. I wonder if it has something to do with the latest version? It works fine on my ipad - just not on my iphone. I cannot get an answer from support.

Really enjoy the meditations! However it frequently freezes up and I have to remove app, download and sign in repeatedly. It also only shows Some of my favorites and won’t let me access the complete list. I truly am blessed by the meditations yet it is becoming more of a frustration to listen. Any help would be appreciated,

This helps my mindset to focus on a positive outlook. It helps me start my day feeling centered and encouraged. I sometimes listen at the end of the day and I fall asleep before I finish which provides a very restful sleep. I find these meditations a healthy way to recenter my mind to a calm and refreshed approach to my day. Excellent and I recommend Encounter to others.

I first used encounter when they would send out emails daily. So when the app came out i was very happy. Best app for when i cant sleep or when i need some encouragement or even to just stop and spend a few minutes with the Lord.

Through this app you can access all of the meditations and mark your favorites to come back too. I’ve loved “Morning Has Broken” as I sip hot tea in the early morning and watch out my window. And as I’m having difficult challenges lately, I have found great comfort in “Sleep: Great promises of God.” It is simply Bible verses of God promises read with soothing music. It is an hour long and I’ve yet to make it to the end before I fall into a deep restful sleep. (And it’s also good to have it playing during the day!)

I’ll be honest. The first time I listened to a meditation I stopped it about a minute into it. I wasn’t a fan of the style and I’m pretty picky about voices. However, one very stressful day I decided to give it a shot again. I made myself finish the meditation and by the end of it I was used to the style and the voice. Now I use it daily and wouldn’t change a thing about it! My job is extremely stressful. I find that if I don’t stay focused and in the Word everyday I tend to spiral into an anxious mess. Adding this practice to my time with God has been such a blessing. Thank you for this app. Please continue to make new meditations. I can’t tell you how much you have impacted my life and helped me to find peace in the midst of chaos!
