Hills Ahead and Questions Too
What does it mean to ask for help when we’re used to doing everything ourselves? Psalm 121 opens with a question that feels surprisingly relevant today—especially in those moments when we’re feeling stuck or unsure. This reflection explores how help sometimes shows up in unexpected ways, often when we finally pause to look up.
Thirsty in the Wilderness: When Safety Isn't the Only Need
This set of psalms explores two deeply human needs: the desire for safety and the longing for something more than survival. The texts move between calls for rescue and a kind of spiritual thirst that isn’t easily named. It’s a reflection on what we reach for when life feels uncertain.
Talking to the Walls (and Maybe Someone's Listening)
In a handful of emotionally charged psalms, we find a voice speaking honestly from the depths of fear and isolation. Psalm 142, written from a cave, doesn’t shy away from despair—it leans into it. This reflection explores what it means to stay honest when answers are out of reach.
Saints, Schemers, and Something in Between
These five Psalms explore the ongoing tension between righteousness and wickedness—not through abstract ideals, but through lived emotion and real-world complexity. Enemies appear in many forms: some external, others internal, and the contrast between them is rarely clean. What emerges isn't resolution, but a persistent effort to stay grounded in integrity despite the chaos.
