About this listen

Who wrote the Psalms?

What is the Book of Psalms about?

In this sermon podcast, Dr. Toby Holt unpacks the Book of Psalms—from David’s heartfelt cries to the corporate songs of worship—in a way that’s clear, compelling, and relevant.

In listening, you'll explore themes of praise, lament, trust, confession, and joy—not just as poetic expressions, but as powerful truths that address the issues you're facing today.

Whether you’re a pastor, student, or brand new to the Bible, this podcast (including sermons) covers all the major themes from Psalm 1 through Psalm 150.

Dr. Holt has pastored three churches, planted one, and taught apologetics in the US and internationally.
