Our culture creates endless wants—bigger houses, newer cars, more stuff. But what does it mean when David declares, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want"? Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 23:1, clarifying that this doesn't mean we stop wanting things, but that we shall lack nothing we truly need. Like a good shepherd who knows exactly what his sheep need, God has arranged everything for our care.
God's Provision: The sheep don't know what they need, but the shepherd does—and he arranges everything for their care. This is why David declared, "The LORD is my shepherd"—because God provides all we truly want and need. In this five-message series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalms 23 and 37, unpacking what it means to trust the Good Shepherd who guides, protects, and provides for our deepest needs.
The world’s idea of success is fortune, fame, and power. But the forgotten side of success is lasting satisfaction, contentment, and peace found through helping others. People remain the essential ingredient in life.

Lauren Tomlin is a PRAYER WARRIOR which is why I called her for this series, because I wanted a friend to sit down with me and really talk about how to pray.
If you’ve ever wondered if God actually hears you when you pray or if you can trust what you hear from God when you pray, this conversation is for you.
If you feel overwhelmed by all of the hard happening around us, we’re going to talk about how to pray. If you’ve wondered how to discern what God’s telling you, we’re going there too. And if you just need a minute to sit with God, Lauren’s going to lead us through a guided prayer at the very end. I don’t want you to miss it.
