    Episode 67 - From Weeping To Joy - Psalm 30:4-5

    Life is hard for everyone. Because all fall short of God’s glory, we naturally produce corruption, not righteousness—and we all feel the weight of sin’s consequences. But this episode explores the powerful truth that while God’s anger is real, His mercy is greater and eternal for those who receive it by faith. Looking at David’s experience in Psalm 30, we see how God restrained His wrath, preserved His promises, and turned weeping into joy. If not for God’s mercy, we would all be condemned. Instead, through His holiness, faithfulness, and grace, He gives undeserved life, renewed purpose, and eternal hope. This episode is a reminder that though weeping may endure for a night, joy truly comes in the morning.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

    Episode 66 - The LORD Our Healer - Psalm 30:1-3

    In this episode, we explore what the Bible really means when it calls God our Healer—Jehovah Rapha. While Scripture records powerful moments of physical healing, the greater miracle has always been spiritual. From Matthew 9, where Jesus forgave a paralytic before restoring his body, to Psalms 30, where David praised God for healing his soul after rebellion and judgment, we see that God’s goodness goes far beyond the physical. True healing is the mercy that forgives sin, restores relationships, and rescues the soul from condemnation. Join us as we examine how God’s greatest work isn’t just to fix our circumstances—but to redeem, restore, and re-equip us for His eternal purposes.

    Episode 65 - Worshiping With Understanding - Psalm 29:3-11

    True worship isn’t just singing—it’s responding to who God actually is. In this episode, we explore Psalm 29 to see how God’s Word reveals His power, His holiness, and why He alone is worthy of praise. When we understand His nature and His purposes, worship becomes surrender—not performance. And amazingly, the same Word that judges and shakes creation is the Word that strengthens and blesses His people with peace. That’s the beauty of holiness—and that’s who God is as our Refuge & Strength.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

    Episode 64 - Giving To God - Psalm 29:1-2

    A Biblical reflection on humility and stewardship, exploring how David understood God as YAHWEH – the eternally self-existing and self-sustaining source of all things. This episode unpacks Psalm 29 to reveal this timeless truth: everything we have comes from God. A reminder that our role as stewards – not owners – should lead us to true worship expressed through humble surrender and holy obedience, and the practical steps we can take to use our influence, resources, and life itself to glorify God with joy and satisfaction.

    Episode 63 - When God Answers Prayer - Psalm 28:1-9

    Some people say that God answers every prayer, either by saying “yes,” “no,” or “wait.” Is that true, and if so, to what extent? What does it really look like in everyday life when God answers prayer the way we hope? We don’t have to guess. There are times when God answers prayer powerfully and clearly. Does our pursuit of God in prayer reflect faith in this truth, and how should we respond when God answers? These are the questions we'll tackle in this episode, which is why I’ve titled it “When God Answers Prayer.” Our study of Psalm 28 will provide us with clear insights into what it actually looks like when God responds and what our response should be.    For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188   -------------------   If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

    Episode 62 - Waiting On The LORD - Psalm 27:5-14

    On this episode of Refuge & Strength, we’ll discuss the challenge of understanding and practicing Biblical patience, especially when we’re expecting the LORD to respond to our needs. That’s why we’ve titled this episode “Waiting On The LORD.” That’s not always an easy thing to do. In fact, it’s not always clear how we are supposed to wait on the LORD either. Do we sit around doing nothing, hoping God will fix all our problems with a snap of His fingers, or is there more to it? We’re going to examine an example from Scripture so we can understand how to answer that question and apply it to our lives.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188   -------------------   If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

    Episode 61 - One Desire - Psalm 27:1-4

    Have you ever wondered why, as a Christian, the LORD doesn’t answer some of your prayers regarding certain desires? This episode should help us realign our desires to ensure we’re in sync with the things God longs to respond to. If we have this “one desire,” we’ll likely find that our walk with the LORD and our prayer life become much more fruitful, which is why this episode is called “One Desire.”   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188   -------------------   If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.

    Episode 60 - The Influence Of God - Psalm 26:4-12

    When God gets a hold of someone’s life through salvation, the scriptures show that there should be a profound impact. What does this impact look like? What truly happens when someone is “born again” through faith in Jesus Christ? This episode explores Psalm 26:4-12 to understand the true effect the Gospel has on the lives of genuine believers. This study acts as a helpful “spiritual check-up” on our faith, which is why I’ve titled this episode “The Influence of God.”    For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188   -------------------   If you’re local to the Central Kentucky region, you can catch Pastor b.Side teach in person as he’s currently going verse-by-verse through the Book of Revelation.
