In this episode, we continue our 14-day journey through Psalm 23 with one of the most intimate turns in the entire passage: “I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Blakely reflects on the shift in David’s voice—from talking about God to talking to Him. Why the change from “He” to “You”? Because something happens when you walk through the valley with God. There’s a deeper intimacy that can only be found in the hard places—where faith turns into firsthand experience.

Using a powerful metaphor from her own life (a parachute and a skydive!), Blakely unpacks what it looks like to move from belief in theory to trust in reality. It’s in the valley that we discover: the parachute opens. God really is who He says He is.

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re walking through their own shadowy valley—through loss, uncertainty, fear, or pain. May this be a reminder that you're not alone. God doesn’t always remove the valley, but He always walks through it with us. That’s the promise.

“You are with me.” Don’t miss the intimacy in that today.
