Bidden Onderweg 4.0.13

Bidden Onderweg brings you closer to God, with a new prayer podcast every day. The meditations of Bidden Onderweg focus on biblical texts. The musical accompaniment, reflections, and guiding questions help you enter into prayer. Anywhere, anytime.

The daily podcast lasts about ten minutes. By praying regularly with Bidden Onderweg, you will notice that the encounter with God gains structure and depth.

The Bible is the starting point of every meditation of Bidden Onderweg. Through a reading schedule, we meditate on the daily Biblical text. The experience of God coming to us through this is an ancient one shared by people. Biblical texts serve as doorways through which we can engage in conversation with God.

"So beautiful, so simple, so rich, so profound, it really speaks to me... Every day I start with a moment and God's Word does its work." - Arnold

Prayer begins with creating silence. This might not be possible in a crowded train or bus at once. The music from the podcast assists you. It can help quiet what's going on in your mind. It may be beneficial to picture God's loving gaze upon you. Express how you feel and what you hope and long for during the upcoming prayer time. You can close your eyes, open your hands, and take an active posture.

"Bidden Onderweg gives me peace instead of feeling like another 'item on my agenda'." - Erica

Bidden Onderweg is aimed at Christians from various denominations. The Christian meditation app Bidden Onderweg is based on Ignatian spirituality. The motto of this spirituality is: seeking and finding God in all things. Therefore, we don't need to escape the world or strive for a higher realm. We can encounter God in everyday life. In fact, the chance of meeting God is much greater when you can accept the life you live every day.

In addition to a daily prayer podcast, Bidden Onderweg also offers audio retreats. These cover topics such as parenthood, ecology, aging, and refugees. Every month, we release an in-depth interview on a theme from Christian spirituality.

Bidden Onderweg is an initiative of the Platform for Ignatian Spirituality of the Jesuits in the Low Countries.
