As we continue our Summer in the Psalms series, let’s take a look at the deceptively simple Psalm 130. It may not have much pop on first reading, but we both found that the more we dug into this Psalm, the more we had to learn from it. Come join the conversation and help us explore this Psalm together!

Consolation and Desolation are two terms that St. Ignatius uses to describe the natural ebb and flow of how we feel about our relationship with God. How can we make use of these terms in our own life? What do we need to do when we’re in a period of desolation? Will it last forever? Join us this week as we discuss these all-too-human terms. Then join us on social media to keep the conversation going!

Occasionally our theological lenses cause us to interpret English words in ways that the Hebrew never intended. By exploring a few Hebrew words like Nephesh, Hesed, and Sheol, we hope to expose some of the layers of beauty and depth in Psalm 86. Come read this Psalm with a fresh set of lenses and then join the conversation and let us know how this Psalm has impacted you!
