The Lord is My Shepherd Pt. 3
We have been looking at Psalm 23. In part one, we explored two important questions (How do you know you need shepherding, and who or what shepherd do you follow?). In part two, we looked at Psalm 23’s opposite, and what it looks like when we seek to do life following another shepherd. In this final blog post, we are going to look at specific ways Psalm 23 is meant to...

Never Enough? Or Finite and Faithful?
I despise feeling like a failure. My daughter has a similar aversion. She clenches her fists, cries, screams, or covers her face if she makes a mistake on a math problem or can’t meet some other seemingly trivial expectation.
