Do you matter?

It may be one of the most important questions a human being can ask.
In this teaching on Psalm 127, John Ortberg explores meaning, significance, anxiety, achievement, and what the Bible says about human worth.

Drawing from the work of Rebecca Goldstein, John examines what she calls a "crisis of mattering" and why so many people feel insignificant despite living in an age of unprecedented progress.

This episode explores:
- Psalm 127 and the search for meaning
- Why achievement cannot provide lasting significance
- The lie that your life doesn't matter
- Your story inside God's larger story
- The Incarnation and human worth
- How every act of faithfulness matters

If you've ever struggled with purpose, significance, discouragement, or the feeling that your life doesn't make a difference, this conversation is for you.

Scriptures:
- Psalm 127
- Genesis 1
- Matthew 10

What do you do when your soul feels downcast?

In this conversation, John Ortberg sits down with Kevin Palau to explore Psalm 42, anxiety, discouragement, emotional honesty, and hope.

Kevin shares candidly about his own struggles with anxiety, the pressures of leadership, and why Psalm 42 has become one of the most important prayers in his spiritual life.

This episode explores:
- Anxiety and spiritual formation
- Psalm 42 and emotional honesty
- The pressure to appear spiritually strong
- Faith and discouragement
- Sabbath, rest, and slowing down
- Learning to put our hope in God

One of the great gifts of Psalm 42 is that it reminds us that faith is not pretending everything is fine. Faith is bringing our real selves before God and placing our hope in Him anyway.

Scriptures:
- Psalm 42

- Kevin Palau
- John Mark Comer (referenced)

Can you really live without lack?

In this reflection on Psalm 23, John Ortberg draws from Life Without Lack to explore one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture.

What's your story today?

In this teaching on Psalm 59, John Ortberg explores one of the most important lessons of the Psalms: prayer is always prayed from inside a story.

Drawing from Answering God, John challenges the idea of "spiritualized prayer" — prayer that removes the conflict, fear, anger, disappointment, and messiness of ordinary life.

Psalm 59 was written in the middle of David's crisis. Men were sent to kill him. His prayer wasn't polished. It wasn't neat. It was real.

This episode explores:
- Why every prayer comes from a story
- The danger of spiritually correct prayer
- Psalm 59 and David's honesty
- Fear, trust, and emotional authenticity
- Eugene Peterson's insights on prayer
- Bringing your whole self before God

Featuring reflections from:
- Eugene Peterson
- David's life in 1 Samuel

Scriptures:
- Psalm 59
- Psalm 3
- 1 Samuel 19

What if refuge was something you practiced?

In this conversation, John Ortberg talks with therapist and trauma specialist Lisa Cuss about anxiety, church hurt, attachment theory, the nervous system, and Psalm 31.

This episode explores:
- Trauma and attachment theory
- Church hurt and emotional healing
- Psalm 31 and the image of refuge
- Why God is called a fortress
- Right-sizing reality through prayer
- Making refuge an active spiritual practice

Featuring reflections on:
