You've read Psalm 23 your whole life: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life." But the Hebrew word for follow — radaf — isn't gentle. It's a
hunting term. A military word. It means to chase, to pursue, to run you down. In this
message, Pastor Rich reframes the most familiar psalm in the Bible: God's goodness and
mercy aren't trailing politely behind you — they're chasing you down like a father
yanking his kid out of the path of an oncoming car. Not to hurt you. To save your life.
From the false, comfortable "Jesus" being sold in the modern church, to the sin most
pastors won't preach from the pulpit, to David — the most hunted man in Scripture, who
said the only thing that ever really caught him was mercy — this is a call to stop
running and let yourself be caught. It ends where revival always ends: at the altar,
with real people giving up what they were holding onto.
- Why "goodness and mercy" is a chase, not a stroll — the meaning of radaf
- The heart of the Father vs. the condemnation the enemy sells you
- The false Jesus in today's church — and the gospel that actually saves
- "I never knew you" — the difference between knowing about God and experiencing Him
- Revival breaking out: God showing up to Muslims in dreams, and why He still needs you to go
- Live testimonies: the man who went looking for a plug and found his best friend, and
the surrender at the altar
