Happy New Year! In this hope-filled episode of The Collected Podcast, Jes returns to Psalm 23 for a deep, refreshing look at how this beloved passage weaves together so many of the Names of God we’ve explored over the years. Moving line by line, she uncovers the shepherding heart of God—our Provider, our Peace, our Healer, our Righteousness, our ever‑present Help, our Victory, and the One who makes us holy. Along the way, Jes connects Psalm 23 to the powerful arc of Psalms 22–24, reminding us that Christ’s sacrifice, His tender care, and His coming glory are the foundation of our hope. If you’re longing for comfort, clarity, or a renewed sense of God’s nearness as you step into a new year, this episode will meet you right where you are and invite you to drink deeply from the overflowing cup of His blessing.

This week on The Collected Podcast, Jes invites listeners into one of the most tender and transformative names of God—Abba, Father. This episode explores the intimacy and security found in calling God “Abba,” weaving together Scripture, personal stories, and reflections that reveal His delight in His children and His promise of adoption through Christ. As we step into the Christmas season, Jes reminds us that the birth of Jesus is also the beginning of our adoption story, a powerful truth that offers rest, hope, and belonging. If you’ve ever longed to experience God not as a distant ruler but as a loving Father who knows you, delights in you, and calls you His own, this episode will encourage your heart and deepen your faith.
