Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46 Part 1 • Steven Sharp Nelson • August 17-23 • Come, Follow Me

Is the Lord actually listening or just cataloging your complaints? Steven Sharp Nelson joins Hank and John to examine the Psalms as the ancient “people’s hymnbook,” showing how prayers of praise and lament can heal burnout, quiet the inner critic, and turn everyday creativity into worship.
