Send us a text Pride sneaks in sounding like confidence and leaves us feeling empty. We unpack how David’s story in Psalms 30–32 exposes the subtle drift from “God-centered” to “self-secure,” and why that shift always costs more than it promises. When David boasts, “In my prosperity, I shall never be moved,” the result isn’t strength but distance—God’s face hidden, joy fading, and a heart weighed down. Then comes the turn: God’s rescue, favor that outlasts anger, and a path back through hones...

The Wisdom Journey
Waiting on God (Psalms 27–29)
Send us a text What if waiting wasn’t wasted time but sacred training? We walk through Psalm 27–29 and trace a path from fear to courage, from isolation to community, and from noise to the clear voice of a God who is never late. David shows us how remembering God’s past rescue fuels present resolve, why worship is more than a song—it’s alignment—and how teachability turns delays into formation. Rather than rushing the yellow lights of life, we learn to ask for a level path we can actually wal...

The Wisdom Journey
Adopting the Testimony of David (Psalms 24–26)
Send us a text Gates lift, questions rise, and the path to God narrows to one clear doorway: grace. We follow David through Psalms 24–26 to ask who can stand in the holy place and discover why the answer isn’t the best performers but the forgiven. From Zion’s ridge to Calvary’s cross, we trace how political hills look mighty but real power rests where God’s presence dwells. Clean hands and a pure heart aren’t trophies we earn; they’re gifts we receive at the foot of the cross, where the King ...

The Wisdom Journey
From the Pasture to the Palace (Psalm 23:4-6)
Send us a text A world that feels sharp and unsafe can make faith sound like wishful thinking—until you hear Psalm 23 through a shepherd’s hands. We walk the path from “pasture to palace,” slowing down over each image David gives us: the valley of the shadow of death, a rod that means real authority, a staff that keeps us close, a mesa-table prepared in enemy territory, and a healing anointing that soothes hidden agony. What emerges is not sentiment but sturdy care: a Shepherd who confronts d...

The Wisdom Journey
Following the Best Shepherd Ever (Psalm 23:1-3)
Send us a text Start with a familiar line—“The Lord is my shepherd”—and watch it open into a fuller, sturdier vision of life with God than most of us expect. We explore how David’s joy in Psalm 23 confronts a restless world and reframes our deepest needs: guidance when we’re disoriented, protection when fear spikes, provision for the hunger that no achievement quiets, and restoration when we’re flat on our backs. Instead of slogans, we trace the concrete images of green pastures and still wat...

The Wisdom Journey
The Psalm of Christ’s Suffering (Psalm 22)
Send us a text Trouble has a way of forcing our loyalties into the open. We open Psalms 20–21 and walk a two-beat rhythm every believer knows: prayer before the fight, praise after the victory. Along the way, we trade the illusion of control—our “chariots and horses”—for the solid ground of God’s name, and we discover why allegiance to Christ is not just a feeling but a way of taking the next faithful step. We start with the day of trouble. David teaches us to ask for help and to anchor our ...

Long Live the King! (Psalms 20–21)
Send us a text When trouble looms and you feel outnumbered or overwhelmed, where do you place your trust? Psalm 20 is a call to prepare for battle by trusting in the name of the Lord. It reminds you that your confidence shouldn’t rest in chariots, horses, or human strength—but in the name, nature, and power of your God. Then Psalm 21 answers with praise after the victory. It’s a coronation psalm, a celebration of God’s deliverance and faithfulness. David lifts his voice in gratitude for answe...

The Wisdom Journey
Better than Gold . . . Sweeter than Honey (Psalm 19:8-14)
Send us a text What if the book on your shelf is worth more than a vault of gold and sweeter than a spoonful of honey? We walk through Psalm 19 to rethink our posture toward Scripture—moving from “I know that already” to “I can’t live without this.” Along the way, we confront a hard truth: most books inform, but only one transforms. That shift—from information to transformation—changes how we see guidance, joy, and wisdom in a noisy world. We start with the two “books” God gives us. Creation...

The Wisdom Journey
The Voice of Creation (Psalm 19:1-8)
Send us a text A star-filled sky can feel like a mirror for our fears—vast, cold, indifferent. Psalm 19 pushes back with a daring claim: the heavens aren’t silent at all. They testify. The sky proclaims. Creation is more than scenery; it’s a witness to God’s glory, wisdom, and grace. We walk through that cosmic sermon and then shift to the clarity of Scripture, where God doesn’t just hint—He speaks with a personal name and a steady invitation. We begin by setting Carl Sagan’s famous words be...

The Wisdom Journey
Keeping Our Inheritance in Mind (Psalms 16–18)
Send us a text Threats, false accusations, and long delays have a way of shrinking our world to the size of our fears. We open Psalms 16–18 and watch David do something different: he prays honestly, remembers his inheritance, and lets resurrection hope redraw the map of his day. That pivot—from fixing problems to fixing our eyes—changes how we speak, drive, wait, and even how we pray for people who oppose us. We start with a short, brave plea from Psalm 16: “Preserve me, O God,” and trace ho...

Courses on Prayer and Human Nature (Psalms 13–15)
Send us a text Threats and false accusations can twist our words, rattle our nerves, and drain our resolve. We open Psalms 16–18 with Stephen Davey to rediscover a sturdier center: a short, honest prayer, a sure inheritance, and a Savior whose empty tomb reframes every trial. From David’s “Preserve me, O God” to Peter’s claim in Acts 2, we connect the dots between ancient poetry and the resurrection of Jesus—and we explore how that single event reshapes the way we respond to danger, delay, an...

How to Respond When the Foundations Are Removed (Psalm 11-12)
Send us a text When the pillars of culture shake, the first question isn’t what to do—it’s where to look. We open Psalm 11–12 and follow David’s urgent refrain to lift our eyes from crumbling sand to granite sovereignty. Along the way, a desert cross boxed in plywood becomes a modern parable for a public square uneasy with faith, and a reminder that symbols may be silenced, but the throne of God remains undisturbed. We walk through five anchors drawn from David’s lyrics: God is sovereign and...

ABCs of Trust
Send us a text When life feels unfair and God seems quiet, where do you put your weight? We journey through Psalms 9 and 10 to explore a pattern that carries real life: remember God’s past deeds, speak honest lament, and ask boldly for justice while holding fast to His kingship. David’s “ABCs of trust”—an acrostic threaded across both psalms—shows how structure can steady the soul. Praise is not a detour around pain; it’s the runway that gives our prayers lift. As we recount God’s righteous j...

Songs for Future Kings and Queens
Send us a text Do you ever feel overwhelmed by criticism or wonder if your life matters? Psalms 7 and 8 speak to both. In Psalm 7, David is falsely accused and crushed by the weight of unkind words. But instead of becoming bitter, he becomes broken before the Lord. He pleads for vindication, but he also asks God to examine his own heart. In Psalm 8, David looks up at the heavens and is overcome with awe—not only at God’s creative majesty, but at the astonishing truth that God cares for us. To...

Quick to Trust . . . Quick to Confess
Send us a text How do you respond when life collapses around you—or when your own sin pulls you down? Psalms 3–6 give us real answers. Whether David is running from enemies or from his own failures, these psalms reveal how trust in God and confession to God change everything. In Psalm 3, David is literally on the run from his son Absalom. His world has collapsed, yet he declares, “You, O Lord, are a shield about me.” Even in crisis, David sleeps—because he trusts in God. Psalm 4 reminds us th...

The Psalm of Coronation
What nation deserves your highest allegiance? Psalm 2 invites you to reframe how you view leadership, loyalty, and ultimate authority. This coronation psalm, likely sung at David’s enthronement, points to a far greater King—one whose reign will never end. In this episode, you’ll learn how Psalm 2 doesn’t just describe ancient kings; it exposes every nation’s rebellion against God’s authority. You’ll discover why all governments ultimately fail and why Jesus alone is worthy of global—and perso...

An Original Book of Poetry
How do you stay spiritually stable in an unstable world? Psalm 1 gives us a practical, powerful blueprint for living a blessed life—a life rooted in truth, resistant to compromise, and rich with spiritual fruit. In this episode, you’ll discover why God starts the book of Psalms with this foundational passage, inviting you into a life of delight, not despair. We’ll explore the three progressive dangers every believer faces—and how to avoid them. You’ll learn how to identify harmful influences,...

Almost Happily Ever After
What does “happily ever after” really look like for someone who has suffered deep loss? In the final verses of the book of Job, we watch God restore Job’s life in surprising and beautiful ways—but we’re reminded that restoration doesn’t erase grief. Stephen Davey walks you through Job 42 and shows how Job’s story ends, not with perfect circumstances, but with profound faith and healing. God publicly defends Job’s character, rebukes his arrogant counselors, and restores his health, wealth, and...

Dragons and Dinosaurs (Job 40:15-42:6)
What do dinosaurs and dragons have to do with suffering? In this final portion of God’s response to Job, the Lord describes two enormous creatures—behemoth and leviathan. Far from myth or metaphor, these creatures were real, powerful, and terrifying. But why would God bring them up now? Stephen Davey walks you through Job 40–42 and shows how these “monsters” are actually instruments of comfort. God is reminding Job—and you—that if He created creatures as massive and fearsome as these, He sure...

A Trip to the Zoo (Job 38:39-40:14)
Why would God talk about animals to a suffering man? In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Job 38:39–40:14, where God responds to Job not with explanations, but with illustrations from the natural world. God takes Job—and us—on a divine field trip to the zoo, highlighting creatures like lions, ravens, ostriches, and eagles. Each animal reveals something about God’s creativity, wisdom, and care. From the hunting instinct of lions to the hilarious oddities of the...

Water, Earth, and Sky (Job 38:4-38)
In Job’s moment of deepest suffering, God finally speaks—but not with easy answers or quick fixes. Instead, God takes Job on a guided tour of creation. In this episode of The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey explores Job 38:4-38, where God reveals His unmatched power, wisdom, and control over water, earth, and sky. Why does God point Job to clouds, stars, and ocean tides instead of explaining Job’s suffering? Because the majesty of creation is more than scenery—it’s theology. It reveals the Cre...
