43 | Finding Peace & Rest in the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23:2)

Psalm 23 paints a picture of peace with green pastures and still waters. So why does kind of rest feels out of reach?? We’re carrying fears, relationship tensions, and thoughts we can’t shut off.
Here’s the good news: the Bible gives us a clear, 4-step plan for peace. It’s not vague. It’s not “try harder.” It’s an actionable path you can start walking today to find real relief for your soul.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
The 4 needs every "sheep" has before they can really rest (and how Jesus meets them all)
The Bible's clear, 4-step recipe for lasting peace
How to stop mistaking worry for love so you can care deeply for people without drowning in it
If you want a step-by-step, biblical way to lay down what’s heavy and finally breathe again...this episode is your starting point.

42 | Depending on the Good Shepherd (Psalm 23:1)

We’re starting a brand new series on Psalm 23, and in Part 1 we’re camping out in verse 1: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”
If you’re tired of carrying the weight of your own provision, anxious about what’s next, or worn out from trying to control every outcome, this verse is your lifeline. It’s not “I will have” someday... it’s “I have” right now. The Good Shepherd is already meeting your needs, even when it doesn’t look or feel the way you expected. And learning to be led by Him will change the way you see every season of your life.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
The difference between being comfortable & being cared for
How fear keeps us from depending fully on God
How to quit "anxious praying" and lean on His promises

41 | The Power Of A Testimony: How Sharing Your Story Breaks Chains

 
Hard truth? Your silence might be costing someone else their breakthrough.
In this episode we're getting real about what happens when we keep our stories to ourselves. God didn’t just save you to make your life better, He sent you to set captives free. And the tool He gave you isn’t a pulpit or a platform. It’s your story.
This is a wake-up call for anyone who’s been sitting on their testimony—because the truth is, someone else might still be in chains waiting for you to speak up.
You’ll hear about…
4 sneaky reasons Christian stay silent about their story & struggles
Why your "in progress" story is powerful and necessary
How sharing your testimony isn't just helpful, it's biblical and commanded
Whether it’s addiction, shame, fear, doubt, divorce, or secret sin, your honesty could become someone else’s hope. Your confession could be the courage they’ve been praying for. Your freedom might just be their invitation.
