The Psalms aren’t just songs to sing, they’re tools to shape us. These Spirit-inspired lyrics poured out of Jesus and we want be people who are saturated by them too. As we walk through the Psalms, we ask God to shape our thoughts, stir our affections, and train our responses—so that when life presses in, Scripture pours out. The Psalms meet us in our joy, sorrow, fear, and hope. They both shape our doctrine and inspire our devotion. Join us as we begin a journey through the Psalms, letting these songs form our minds, stir our hearts, and tune our lives to the rhythm of Jesus.
