In today’s episode, MM unpacks one of the most surprising lines in Psalm 23: “Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

These tools of a shepherd don’t look comforting at first glance—until you understand what they represent. The rod symbolizes God fighting for you. The staff shows His care to guide, correct, and reroute you when you're headed off path.

This episode is for anyone who feels like life is out of their control, or who needs a reminder that God is both protector and gentle guide. May you be comforted knowing He defends you and directs you—because He loves you.
