Psalm 1 isn’t just poetry, sis. It’s God’s blueprint for a blessed life—and a warning about who you might need to distance yourself from.
In this message, Patricia Calixte (aka Patty Pat) breaks down Psalm 1 (NIV) line by line and brings it into modern life—friendships, family, group chats, work circles, relationships… the environments that shape your thinking.
Because sometimes you’re not “stuck” because you lack effort.You’re stuck because you keep sitting in the wrong seat.
We’re talking about:
* Bad company that drains you, guilt-trips you, manipulates you, and keeps you stuck
* Why staying connected to the wrong people can cost you more than you realize
* How to stop people-pleasing your way into compromise
* How to set godly boundaries without being hateful or acting superior
* How to become planted, peaceful, fruitful, and unshakable—even in dry seasons!
If you’ve been asking:
* “What does Psalm 1 mean?”
* “What does the Bible say about bad company?”
* “How do I deal with mockers and toxic influence?”
* “How do I stop people-pleasing and protect my peace?”
This message is for you, my sister!
This Psalm will either plant you… or expose what’s been draining you.
