episode 30: mystery

Psalm 1 tells us that those who delight in the Word of God will be like trees planted by streams of water. They will yield fruit in season, and their leaves will not wither. This is a podcast for anyone who wants to be like these trees—deeply rooted in truth and full of fresh spiritual fruit. Each week, we’ll examine a passage of scripture by focusing on a single word from the text. We’ll parse out exactly what it means in context, connect it to the bigger story of God’s deep love for us, and then apply it to our own everyday lives. We’ll keep it short but hope that long after you’ve left, the good words of the Bible will still be stuck in your head.
