In this week’s Walk Talk, Micah Herbster sits down with Michael McIntyre to explore the ninth stanza of Psalm 119—and the surprising goodness of God in His correction. While the psalmist celebrates God’s “good dealings,” “good discernment,” and “good doings,” this conversation lingers where the text itself leads: on the goodness of God in the discipline of His own.

Like lost sheep who need the shepherd’s staff, we often need the Lord’s prodding, redirecting, and even painful correction. Psalm 119:65–68 shows that affliction itself can be a mercy—God’s best work to bring wandering hearts back to His Word. Together Micah and Michael trace the repeated theme of God’s goodness and remind us that in a season of thanksgiving, we praise not only the gifts God gives, but the God who gives Himself through His wise, purposeful discipline.

If God is good—and He is—then everything He uses to shape His children is good too. Join us for a conversation that encourages humble gratitude, renewed trust, and a fresh confidence in the Shepherd who lovingly brings His people home.
