Who Can Live Close To God - Psalm 15
Who May Dwell With You, Lord? | Psalm 15 What does it really mean to live close to God? Psalm 15 doesn’t focus on rituals, titles, or appearances—it asks a piercing question: Who is welcome in God’s presence? In this episode, we walk through David’s short but weighty psalm and discover that nearness to God is shaped by integrity, truth, humility, and faithfulness, not perfection. This message challenges us to examine how our faith shows up in everyday life—our words, our relationships, and our commitments. Psalm 15 reminds us that a genuine walk with God transforms how we live, not just how we worship. If you’ve ever wondered whether your life reflects the faith you profess, this episode will help realign your heart with God’s standard—and His grace. “He who does these things shall never be moved.” (Psalm 15:5)

When Words Are Weapons and Truth Is Rare - Psalm 12
We’re living in a time when words are cheap, truth is twisted, and lies travel faster than wisdom. In Psalm 12, David cries out to God in a culture that sounds uncomfortably familiar—where flattering lips replace faithfulness and deception is celebrated instead of condemned. In this episode, we walk verse by verse through Psalm 12 and confront some hard but necessary questions: - What happens when truth becomes rare? - How do lies and manipulation become weapons? - Where is God when the faithful feel outnumbered and unheard? More importantly, we’re reminded that while human words fail, God’s Word never does. His promises are pure, tested, and trustworthy—especially in seasons of confusion, compromise, and cultural decay. If you’re weary of the noise, tired of deception, or searching for something solid to stand on, this episode will point you back to the unchanging truth found in Bible. 🎧 Listen in and be encouraged: when truth feels rare, God’s Word still stands firm.

When the Foundations Are Shaken - Psalms 11
When the Foundations Are Shaken – Psalm 11 What do you do when everything you trusted feels like it’s falling apart? When the world seems unstable, truth is questioned, and fear whispers, “Run”? In this episode, we walk through Psalm 11 and confront one of life’s most pressing questions: What happens when the foundations are shaken? David was surrounded by chaos, threats, and voices telling him to flee—but his response is powerful and unshakable: “In the LORD put I my trust.” From the opening verse to the final declaration of God’s righteous rule, this psalm reminds us that while earthly foundations crumble, God’s throne is still in heaven. In this episode, you’ll discover: - What the “foundations” really are—and why they matter - Why fear-driven advice often contradicts faith - How God sees injustice, evil, and righteousness - Where believers should stand when culture, morality, and truth are under attack If you’re feeling pressure, uncertainty, or tempted to give up ground, this message will anchor your soul. The righteous don’t run—they trust. 📖 Scripture Focus: Book of Psalms 11 🎙️ Podcast: Just The Bible Will Do Because when everything else shakes… God never does.
