17 | A Deeper Dive into Psalm 23: What You Might Have Missed About the Shepherd


Listen Later

Most of us can quote Psalm 23 by heart. It’s one of the most well-known passages in Scripture—often recited in moments of reflection or peace. But Psalm 23 is more than a comforting psalm—it’s a deep, theological picture of God’s character and His active care for His people.

In this episode of Peace Over Perfection, we take a closer, verse-by-verse look at Psalm 23 and explore the covenant names of God revealed within it. You’ll see how each verse points to a specific aspect of His nature—The Lord who provides, heals, restores, leads, sanctifies, and sustains.

This study will help you move beyond simply knowing the words of Psalm 23 to understanding what they reveal about the Shepherd who walks beside you.
