In this message, Stephen Sowell explores how the life of David reveals the path to living a heart "fully alive" rather than just going through the motions. He explains that while we often try to numb difficult feelings like fear or sadness, doing so actually blocks our ability to experience true joy and connection. By looking at Psalm 23, Stephen shows how we can find genuine peace and "true gladness" in any life circumstance by trusting in God's constant presence.
