In today's episode we dive into Luke 12. Here Jesus reminds us that while life will always bring things that concern us, we don’t need to live weighed down by worry.

In this episode, we explore Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount—Matthew 5 through 7—not as an impossibly high standard, but as a call to real, heartfelt righteousness.

In this episode, we dive into the raw emotion and deep theological significance of Psalms 22 and 23. Psalm 22 begins with one of the most haunting cries of despair—words echoed by Jesus on the cross—where the psalmist wrestles with feelings of abandonment and suffering. Yet, as we journey through this powerful passage, we witness a transformation from lament to hope, culminating in the profound trust expressed in Psalm 23.
What does it mean to cry out to God in our darkest moments? How does remembering God's faithfulness anchor us through trials? And what can we learn from the imagery of a shepherd and a host—symbols of provision and rest—even in the presence of life’s fiercest adversaries?
Through biblical and personal reflection we explore how these psalms intertwine, offering a roadmap for navigating distress and finding peace in God’s presence. Whether you're in a season of struggle or reflecting on past hardships, this episode will encourage you to trust in the One who walks with us through the valley and prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.
