In this week’s podcast episode, we’re chatting with Dane Ortlund about the Psalms. In our conversation, Dane gives some incredibly helpful background, overview, and context that will help you as you dive into the book of the Psalms. He also offers a wealth of encouragement to those who are walking through what the psalmist calls “the pit.” He reminds us of God’s heart to us in the midst of our pain, our sin, and our suffering, and he lifts our eyes to see Christ in this beautiful book of the Bible.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

When you think of a 'blessed life,' what specific things come to mind? 

If your home, your job, your health, your church, or your family were taken away tonight, would you still think you could live a life of "blessedness"? 

What might it look like to experience this true “blessedness” that Psalm 1 describes?

In what ways do you feel the tension between your own brokenness and the brokenness of our world and the hope that you experience in the gospel?

The way of wisdom is delighting in and trusting God and his Word. In what areas of your life are you struggling to delight in God and his Word? 

Spend a moment confessing that to the Lord, and ask him to give you a greater hunger for it and deeper trust in it.

 In this episode, Hunter talks with Natalie Brand about how we were made to worship God. They talk about what a grace it is that our self-revealing, Triune God has chosen to reveal himself to his people, and they remind listeners of the beauty and importance of good theology. We pray that this episode encourages you to strive for theological soundness so that you might more fully love, worship, and enjoy God.

In this conversation, Hunter is chatting with Amy DiMarcangelo about evangelism. They talk about what the gospel actually is, why it is good news, and what it is that compels us to share this good news with an unbelieving world. Amy offers encouragement to those who might feel hesitant or unequipped to evangelize, and she reminds us how beautiful it is to play a part in bringing brothers and sisters into the family of God. We pray this episode encourages you to share the good news with those around you!

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

How does viewing evangelism as our part in God's grand story of redemption compel you to live out that calling more fully?

How would you articulate the gospel to someone who had never heard it before? Speak it out loud or write it down.

What comes more naturally to you—obeying the Great Commandment or the Great Commission? Why do you think that is?

Is there someone in your life who you might consider sharing the gospel with? Pray for an opportunity or make a plan to speak to them this week. If there is not someone like this in your life, take a few minutes to pray that God might bring you that person even this week.

In this episode, Hunter talks with Courtney Doctor about the beauty and the mutual edification of discipleship. As they talk, you will hear Courtney’s heart for God’s Word and her passion for knowing it, loving it, being changed by it, and teaching it. We pray this episode encourages you to seek out an older or younger woman with whom you can grow in godliness.

In this week’s episode, Hunter is chatting with Blair Linne about learning to pray. They talk about what prayer is, remind us of the heart of the God we are praying to, and offer some helpful encouragement for those who are looking to grow in their prayer life. Prayer is, simply put, communicating with God. And we pray that in this episode you will find both rich encouragement and practical helps that will spur you on in your communication with and intimacy with the Father.
