Although we often frame our faith as "following Jesus," the Bible also teaches that God "follows" us. God pursues us, chases us, even. We can claim that promise by praying verse 6 of Psalm 23.

Although we may not have enemies like David did (the trying-to-kill-us kind), there are many in our lives who have hurt us or who are hurting us, or who are standing against us. How do we pray in the midst of these enemies? What is God's response?

Belonging is the central orientation of a sheep to the shepherd and of our lives with God. No matter how far we have wandered, God goes after us, bringing us back, and invites us to offer belonging to others.

The primary tool shepherds use to lead their sheep is their voice. How does God use his voice to lead us? Where does God lead us to find "green pastures and still waters"? Turns out God often uses his voice to lead us into (not away from) difficulty and brokenness and injustice.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." Listen in as we take a deeper look at this familiar verse but with new eyes.

Prayer is, simply, talking to God. How, though, do we make the move from talking about God, to talking to God? Psalm 23 answers this question. The dark valleys of our lives are occasions to claim the central promise of Scripture, "Thou art with me."
