Have you ever worried that following God might take you somewhere you don’t want to go, or that you wouldn’t be able to keep up if you tried?

In Psalm 23:3b, David writes, “He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” The Hebrew word nachah means to guide, to govern, to lead forth. It’s not just about pointing out the path. It’s about walking with us, rerouting us when we wander, and strengthening us to keep moving forward.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• What synonyms and antonyms of “guide” reveal about God’s trustworthy leadership
• How translations like The Passion Translation and The Voice paint vivid pictures of God steering us off worn, hard paths and into places of life and beauty
• Insights from commentaries, including the reminder that obedience isn’t about knowing every option, it’s about staying close to the Shepherd
• Tony Evans’ GPS comparison and what it means for God to lovingly reroute us
• The characteristics of God revealed in this verse: Guide, Righteous, Strong Tower
• Angie’s story of preparing for a young woman’s funeral and how God miraculously guided her, not because she figured it out, but because He was faithful

Have you ever felt like Bible study is just out of reach? Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re not smart enough, you’re too busy, or you’ve failed too many times before to try again.

In John 17:17, Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” His Word is not meant to weigh us down with guilt—it’s meant to lift us up in freedom.

In this episode, we’ll uncover 3 common lies that keep us from Bible study and the truth that sets us free.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• Why Bible study isn’t for the spiritually elite, it’s for the spiritually hungry
• How even five minutes in Scripture can shape your day in powerful ways
• Why failure doesn’t disqualify you, and how God’s mercy meets you every single time you open His Word
• Reflection questions to help you identify which lie has been whispering in your ear and the truth you need to cling to

Have you ever prayed for God to give you something back, only to find He gave you something completely different instead?

In Psalm 23:3a, David writes, “He restores my soul.” That little word “restores” is rich with meaning. In Hebrew, it’s shoob, to turn back, to renew, to repent, to be brought to life again. Restoration doesn’t mean business as usual. It means being welcomed into something greater than before.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• How synonyms and translations of “restore” reveal wholeness, renewal, and even catching our breath
• Biblical pictures of restoration: the prodigal son, Peter’s restoration, and Judah’s return from exile
• Insights from commentaries that remind us God restores both when we’ve strayed and when we’re simply spent
• How the enemy twists restoration into striving, and how God’s Word in 1 Corinthians 12:9 frees us with grace
• Angie’s story of recovery from a head-on car crash and how God used it to bring restoration deeper than she ever imagined
