Are you feeling spiritually dry? Restless? Mercurial? AJ and Nijay talk about how the biblical Psalter has helped steady the spiritual rhythm of the church for centuries. The Psalms were the prayer and worship language of Israel and of Jesus—and we can find renewal in these ancient words as well.

There was a recent prediction that the Rapture would happen Sept 23, 2025. It came and went, apparently no Rapture. But every time there is a major Rapture prediction, enthusiasts sell their worldly possessions to prepare themselves for the Great Beyond. In this episode, AJ and Nijay talk about what the Bible teaches about our posture towards the earth we live in now. Does the Bible teach that this world is our home, or is it just a place we happen to be passing through? It appears that our answer to this questions matters greatly. Listen in.
