In today’s episode, we once again take a moment to slow down with Psalm 2. We’ll read the chapter together and reflect on its message, using this time to pause, breathe, and intentionally enjoy the Christmas season.

As the busyness of the holidays surrounds us, the Psalms invite us to rest in God’s truth. Join us as these ancient words wash over us, reminding us that we serve a God who welcomes every emotion, guides every step, and meets us exactly where we are.
