Walk Talks

Today on Friday Focus, Micah Herbster sits down with Pastor Steve Kindstedt for a conversation centered on the richness of Psalm 119 and the life-changing power of God’s Word. Drawing from his recent sermon series, Pastor Steve shares practical insights for personal Bible study—how to trace key themes, connect individual stanzas into a unified whole, guard against monotony in such a long psalm, and apply its truths to daily life. Whether you’re a pastor, teacher, or simply longing to go deeper in Scripture, this episode will help you approach Psalm 119 with fresh eyes and renewed love for God’s Word.

In this episode of The Word Within Micah Herbster is joined by Scott Bratt to explore Psalm 119:37–40—the fifth stanza of this rich psalm and a powerful expression of a maturing believer’s desire for transformation. Building from last week’s discussion with Mike Herbster, this passage moves beyond learning aboutGod’s Word to being shaped by it. Together, Micah and Scott trace the Psalmist’s prayerful journey—from asking God to teach his mind, heart, and steps, to now guarding his eyes and confirming his faith. They unpack how spiritual vitality, not empty vanity, is the cure for a wandering gaze, and how God’s established Word produces steadfast devotion in His people.

As the conversation unfolds, the theme of longing becomes central—a growing hunger for the life-giving truth of Scripture. Scott and Micah reflect on the Psalmist’s plea for renewal and courage amid reproach, drawing wisdom from voices like Spurgeon, Manton, and Jonathan Edwards. Through this stanza, listeners are invited to examine their own desires: Do we truly long for God’s Word to revive us and confirm His promises within us? Join this rich discussion and be stirred to pray with the Psalmist, “Behold, I have longed after Thy precepts: quicken me in Thy righteousness.”

Dr. Jeff Redlin grew up in Adrian, Michigan, where he was saved at the age of seventeen. Realizing God was calling him into full-time vocational Christian ministry, he attended Pensacola Christian College, where he studied youth ministries. After receiving his degree (B.A.) from PCC, he became part of the church staff at Campus Church and was our youth pastor for fifteen years. His wife, Julie, grew up in Pensacola. She and Jeff met at Campus Church and were married in 1992.

In 2003, Pastor Redlin accepted the call to be Senior Pastor at Front Range Baptist Church in Fort Collins, Colorado, where the Redlins, with their son Conner, served for nearly 15 years. There the Lord gave Pastor Redlin an active ministry of preaching, counseling, teaching high school Bible, reaching out to the community, and encouraging his church family. Pastor Redlin has also spoken in camps, conferences, and special meetings across the U.S. and around the world.

In 2018, Pastor Redlin and his wife had the wonderful privilege of returning to Pensacola to carry on the work the Lord was advancing through the ministry of Campus Church. Campus Church was the place they had called “home” for many years and took it as a special honor to return to serve as the senior pastor. 

Pastor Redlin serves Campus Church with a background full of diverse experience and with proven faithfulness.

In this episode, Micah welcomes Southland's director, Mike Herbster, to continue walking through Psalm 119. Together they explore the fifth stanza, where the psalmist—now spiritually maturing—pleads, “Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes.” This passage reveals a heart posture of humble dependence upon God’s instruction.

Mike leads a verse-by-verse discussion, unpacking how the Word of God shapes every part of life: the mind that learns truth, the feet that walk in obedience, the heart that delights in God’s way, and the eyes that must be guarded from vanity. With practical insights and biblical illustrations, text shows that true teaching from the Lord moves us from mere information to genuine transformation.

The episode closes with a heartfelt prayer through the psalm—a reminder that spiritual growth begins when we ask God to be our Teacher.

In this week’s Friday Focus episode, Emily and Emaley sit down with Claudia Barba — Southland's 2025 ladies' retreat speaker. She and her husband started Press On Ministries to encourage and strengthen local churches across the country.

Claudia shares practical and heartfelt wisdom for women seeking to grow in their walk with God. She discusses the importance of cultivating a consistent relationship with Christ, identifies some of the most common pitfalls facing wives, moms, and ladies in the church today, and offers biblical weapons for overcoming fear and worry.

You’ll also hear how God led her to begin writing devotionals for women — and how He continues to use that ministry to inspire others to press on in faith.

You can find Claudia Barba's books on Amazon or at www.ipresson.com.

In this week’s episode of The Word Within, Micah Herbster is joined by longtime Southland staff member Cody Bill to unpack the fourth stanza of Psalm 119. The psalmist, clinging to life “in the dust,” cries out for revival through the Word of God.

Join us as we learn what it truly means to be adhered to God’s way—not by our own strength, but by the sustaining power of His Word.

On this week’s Friday Focus episode of Walk Talk, we welcome Pastor Earl Sides, Discipleship Pastor at Worth Baptist Church. Since joining the Worth staff in 2016, Pastor Sides has faithfully overseen the church’s discipleship ministry and leads the Bridge to Recovery program. With over thirty years of ministry experience in youth, music, and pastoral leadership, he brings both wisdom and compassion to his current role.

In this conversation, Pastor Sides shares how biblical counseling is not merely a program but a ministry of applying God’s sufficient Word to life’s most difficult struggles. He explains the importance of coming alongside people with truth and grace, pointing them to the hope of Christ, and helping them find lasting change through Scripture. As 2 Timothy 3:16–17 reminds us, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

Micah is joined by his brother, Malachi Herbster, to walk through the third stanza of Psalm 119. This passage is framed by the psalmist’s identity as a servant of God—an identity that brings both confidence and conflict. Surrounded by opposition and hardship, the psalmist finds rest in knowing he lives for God, not for himself. Ironically, it is his faithfulness to God’s Word that stirs up the very trouble he faces.

What about us? When the blessed way collides with the popular way, will we bend? Or, like the psalmist, will we remain steadfast—choosing the blessed way, even as strangers in this world?

You’ll laugh, be encouraged, and come away inspired by Amy’s story.
