    Gospel Friendships with Kristyn Getty

    Do you long for deep gospel friendships? As members of the body of Christ, when we are friends, we are friends in Christ. We are united by his blood, which means that our connection goes deeper than any other possible bond. In this episode, Hunter talks with Kristyn Getty about the beauty of gospel friendships. Kristyn shares about her own friendship with Joni Eareckson Tada, and how we can grow in our friendships with one another through the myriad of means God has given us, such as worshiping together, praying together, and sitting under and studying God’s Word together. We hope this episode encourages you to press into your own friendships as you grow in love and godliness together!

    Bonus: The Book of Revelation with Jen Wilkin

    In this week’s episode with Jen Wilkin, we talk about the beauty of an oft-misunderstood and feared book of the Bible: Revelation. Jen reminds us that although the book is filled with symbols and images that might first be hard to understand, that it actually pulls from the rest of Scripture and tells us what we already know! That Jesus is coming back to dwell with his people forever. Jen reminds us that the theme of this book is not condemnation, but comfort. We pray this episode leads you to praise as you remember who is seated on the throne of heaven.

    In this last episode of our Psalms series, we’re chatting with Caroline Cobb about God’s big story that we see in Psalms.

We pray this episode—and the whole Psalms series!—prompts you to abide deeply with the Lord and to trust his character and his heart as revealed in Scripture. It has been a gift to come to know and love God more as we study God in Psalms this summer.

    Doxological Psalms: 19, 33, 66, 67, 95, 100, 103, 104, 111, 113, 114, 117

    In this week’s episode we’re looking at the doxological psalms. The Greek word “doxa” means “glory,” so the doxological psalms are an expression of glory, or songs of praise that give glory to God. We pray this episode prompts you toward praise as you meditate on the glory of God!

    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

    1. What is something you can praise God for right now, in this very moment?
    2. What are some ways you could incorporate praise into the everyday moments of your days? Brushing your teeth to a song of praise? Praising God for his character when you get to a red light? Singing a simple doxology as you pray over your dinner?
    3. Think about a specific circumstance, relationship, decision, or grief that is causing you suffering or distress. Now spend a minute thinking about your future eternal reality—the reality that if you are in Christ, you WILL be with him forever, where there will be no more crying, no more pain, no more death. How does thinking about that reality change the lens through which you see your current circumstance?
    4. How might meditating on God’s character as revealed in his Word lead you to praise? If you’re struggling with where to start, here are a few passages that point to God's glory: John 1, Hebrews 1, Isaiah 6, Revelation 21.

    In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the thanksgiving psalms, which are those psalms that express gratitude to God for who he is or what he has done. These psalms remind us of God’s character, give us language for our praise, and help us to give thanks to God, even if our current season is not what we hoped. We pray this episode encourages you to look to God in faith and to give thanks to God for who he is, how he has saved you, and what he has accomplished in Christ!

    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

    1. How do you usher your heart toward prayer and thankfulness when it’s hard?
    2. What is something—right now in this very moment—that you can thank God for? The breath in your lungs? The clothes on your body? Less pain today than you had yesterday? Someone in your local church? This very opportunity to reflect on his Word? Your salvation in Christ?
    3. What do you run to in the midst of distress? How quick are you to turn to the Lord in prayer?
    4. Do you find it hard to trust the Lord during a season of waiting? How does remembering his character help you place your hope in him while you wait?

    In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the liturgical psalms, which are the psalms that lend themselves most easily to public worship in a community gathering. These psalms are full of joy, hope, and proclamations of who God is, as his people call to each other: Remember and rejoice! We pray that this episode reminds you of the truth of God’s character and that it compels you to join hands with your brothers and sisters in the body of Christ as you offer worship and praise to the Lord together.

    Psalms 06: Grieving Together

    Corporate Lament Psalms: 12, 44, 58, 60, 74, 79, 80, 83, 85, 89, 90, 94, 123, 126, 129


    In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the corporate lament psalms, which are those psalms where the writer is grieving on behalf of a people or nation, or writing songs that a community could use to grieve together. These psalms help us see how we can walk through difficult things alongside others, lean into the body of Christ in the midst of tragedy or trial, and know God more, even in that place. By his grace, God meets us deeply in our suffering, and as we walk through both the joys and the brokenness of this life we can even come to know him more—and we can do this together.

    1. Have you ever walked through suffering alongside someone else or invited someone into your own grief? How did it feel different from grieving alone?

    3. What aspect of God’s character is most comforting to you when you are suffering? Is it his nearness? His goodness? His kindness? His steadfast love? 
    4. How does meditating on God’s faithfulness, even in the midst of difficulty, bring you hope?

    In this week’s episode, we’re talking through the specialized lament psalms, which include penitential psalms, or psalms that express the writer’s remorse or guilt over sin, as well as several psalms of judgment, which show us God’s heart for justice. These are weighty psalms, but you’ll see that even here—in the midst of the shame and guilt and fear—there is hope to be found. These psalms show us the gracious heart of God, who calls out to us in our wretchedness and offers us redemption and relationship.

    DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

    1. In the midst of your struggle with sin, is it more natural for you to turn away from God than to turn to him? Why do you think that is? 
    2. How might understanding God’s tender heart toward you—even in your sin—lead you to worship today? How might that help you fight your sin?
    3. How does thinking about God pulling you out of the pit of sin, guilt, and shame? How does meditating on what he’s done for you in Christ change the way you turn from your sin and fight for holiness?
    4. How does your view of God change when you think about his tender heart toward you, even in the depths of your sin?
