Today we reflect on the relentless love of our God who is for us. Is that something you believe is true? That God is for you?
What motivates you to share your faith?  Take a look with me at three missional contrasts—guilt vs. love, obligation vs. overflow, and performance vs. genuine affection. I pray by the end of this episode, you desire to share the gospel out of overflowing grace and sincere love.

This episode unpacks what it truly means to be a disciple of Jesus — not just knowing about him, but following, growing, and being transformed by the Spirit. We’ll talk about everyday ways to make disciples: walking alongside others, reading Scripture, praying together, asking good questions, and living out repentance and hospitality so faith naturally multiplies.

This episode explores the meaning of "dwelling" in Psalm 23:6 — not merely occupying space, but abiding and belonging in the care of the Good Shepherd. Today we’re reminded of the importance of living our lives ever-aware of God’s presence.

A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2G6ITzV
 
Psalms 23
The LORD Is My Shepherd
A PSALM OF DAVID.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Today we explore Psalm 23:5, as we see how God’s goodness and faithful love pursue us even in hard, dark seasons. Using Keller’s insights and a sheep metaphor, we’re challenged to be transformed by God’s care so our lives leave blessings—peace, forgiveness, and joy—wherever we go.

Today we explore how everyday irritations, sinful reactions, and spiritual battles mirror the pests and seasons that trouble a flock. We see how the Holy Spirit’s daily anointing protects our minds, renews our hearts, and helps us bear the fruit of Christlike character.
Through Scripture, practical illustration, and prayer, this episode points us to dependence on the Good Shepherd—who anoints, sustains, and poured out his own cup, inviting us to call on the Spirit each day for peace, patience, and strength amid life’s annoyances and suffering.

Today we reflect on the first half of Psalm 23:5, exploring how a shepherd prepares high tablelands— as we reflect on how earthly shepherds “prepare a table” for their sheep, we can see clearly the parallel to Christ, who has gone before us, prepared a place of safety, and bore great cost to make a seat at His table.
Today we’re reminded that the safest place we’ll ever be is near to our Good Shepherd.

In this episode, we explore the biblical meaning of comfort through the imagery of the shepherd's rod and staff in Psalm 23, showing how God strengthens, disciplines, protects, and guides his people.
Listen for practical reflections on scripture, the role of the Holy Spirit, and how God's nearness transforms our trials into opportunities for growth and service.

Today, we reflect on Psalm 23:4 and see how the valleys of life—though dark and difficult—are the path God uses to lead us to higher ground. Drawing on Keller and scripture, we see that the Good Shepherd walks with us through every trial, providing comfort, growth, and refreshment.
