Bible Book Club

What if the three most famous Psalms in the Bible are actually one story, and that story has been pointing to Jesus all along?

In this episode, we dive into a Bible study on Psalms 22-24. These psalms were written by King David nearly a thousand years before the New Testament, and biblical scholars refer to them as the "Shepherd’s Trilogy." 

Hidden within these psalms is a stunning prophetic timeline of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. 

 This Psalms 22-24 Bible study covers:

When it feels like God isn't showing up for you, how do you even begin to pray? 

Join us for this episode of the Bible Book Club as we dive into a powerful Psalms Bible study and uncover five raw, honest prayers David hands us in Psalms 17–21. 

These Old Testament prayers serve as a practical Christian prayer guide to help you pray through the hard times. 

This Psalms 17–21 Bible study covers:

When life feels out of control and God feels distant, where do you even begin?

Psalms 9-16 are one big, honest conversation about what it's like to live in a broken world and still choose to trust God. David, who wrote all of these Psalms, was a man who fought 50+ battles, faced enemies on every side, and somehow kept his faith intact. These Psalms aren't polished theology. They're raw, real, and remarkably relatable.

In this episode, we cover everything from crying out in anger when evil seems to win, to finding shelter in...

What can you do when you're afraid, anxious, exhausted, or wrongly accused, and you don't know how to pray?

Psalms 3–8 are David's raw, unfiltered conversations with God. They read less like religious poetry and more like texts you'd send to a trusted friend. 

In this episode, we walk you through six Psalms that cover the full emotional spectrum from fear and betrayal to wonder and praise. We also show you how to easily use these Psalms as helpful prayers in your own life.

This Psalms 3-8 Bible study covers:

Ever wonder if God really gets you? The Book of Psalms is your answer.

Psalms is a playlist that's been playing long before Spotify with 150 songs God selected for all of humanity. Songs for every emotion, crisis, and moment when words fail. 

In this episode, we open with a big picture view of the Book of Psalms. Then we dive into Psalms 1 and 2. 

This Psalms 1-2 Bible study covers:

What does God say when you demand answers from Him?

After chapters of silence, in Job 38-42 God finally speaks, and His answer isn't what anyone expects. Instead of explaining Job's suffering or defending His decisions, God shows up in a whirlwind and asks Job 77 questions. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Can you command the morning? Do you control the constellations?

The answer, of course, is no. And that's the point. God doesn't come as a defendant to answer Job's case. He takes the bench as...

When you're crying out to God in pain and getting only silence, is He ignoring you?

Job has lost everything. He's been interrogated by three friends, talked over by a brash young man named Elihu, and God still hasn't said a word. In Job 35–37, Elihu makes his final case, and for one breathtaking moment he actually gets it right.

As a storm gathers on the horizon, Elihu stops dissecting Job's theology and does something none of them have done yet. He looks up. And what he sees changes everything he says next.

...

When life feels like God has gone silent and everything seems unfair, how do you keep believing He's still good?

Job has defended his innocence, the three friends have finally run out of arguments, and an eerie silence has fallen over the city gate. Then a young man named Elihu steps out of the crowd, and he is furious. 

Furious at Job for questioning God. Furious at the friends for failing to prove their case. And absolutely convinced he has the answer everyone else has missed.

But d...

When life falls apart, where do you look for help?

Job has survived three rounds of debate with friends who had all the answers but none of them right. Now the arguments are over, and the crowd goes quiet. What Job does next is unexpected. Instead of demanding justice, he goes searching for something deeper. Something we all want when life doesn't make sense. Wisdom.

What unfolds across Job 28–31 is one of the most breathtaking poems in all of Scripture spoken by a grieving man who refuses to let go of God, even wh...

Why is there so much suffering that doesn’t make sense in this world? Are God’s ways just?

Job has lost everything. His friends have spent weeks piling on accusations, theology lectures, and spiritual platitudes. But in Job 22–27, something shifts. The friends start running out of steam, and Job refuses to go down with them.

Round 3 of the great debate reaches its breaking point. One friend fabricates lies, one delivers the shortest speech in the entire book, and one goes completely silent. Yet Job, who is still sick, suffering, and sitting on an ash...

Why does God seem silent when you're suffering?

Job has already lost everything. His health, his wealth, his children. But in Job 18-21 things get even harder. His three friends stop offering advice and start delivering verdicts. The gloves are off, and Job is standing in the ring alone battered from every side with no one in his corner.

Yet, in the middle of the darkest moment in this ancient story, Job makes one of the most breathtaking declarations in all of Scripture. A statement so powerful that Handel built the climax of...

In the midst of intense suffering, have you ever wondered if God's ways are just?

Round 2 of Job’s story hits different. The polite advice is gone, and the accusations come out swinging. Eliphaz stops trying to help and starts trying to prove Job is guilty. What began as concern turns into condemnation and suddenly Job isn’t just grieving his losses. He’s defending his character in a courtroom he never asked to be in.

And yet, in the wreckage of betrayal and broken theology, Job does something remark...

What do you do when the loudest voices around you are completely wrong about God?

Job 11–14 is one of the most emotionally raw stretches in the entire book. The third friend, Zophar, steps up and he makes Eliphaz and Bildad look gentle by comparison. He calls Job a talker, insults him saying he's a wild donkey, and tells Job his suffering is less than he deserves. But Job has finally had enough. He fires back with some of the most courageous, heartbreaking words in Scripture.

Ro...

What can you do when God is silent and your friends are loud? 

As our Job 8 commentary opens, Bildad steps up to the city gate microphone, and he's not bringing comfort. He doubles down on the Retribution Principle: sin equals suffering and righteousness equals blessing. To Bildad, Job’s suffering is an open-and-shut case of guilt. He even makes the heartless claim Job’s children died as a penalty for their own sins.

But as Job 8–10 reveals "dry theology" is no match for a broken heart. Watch as Job refuses...

Have you ever been hurt by someone who was trying to help?

Job has already lost his wealth, children, and health. Now, in Job chapters 4–7, his three closest friends finally break their silence. What they say makes everything worse. 

Eliphaz, the self-appointed pious preacher of the group, opens his case, and Job begs them to see him instead of prosecuting him. When no one does, he turns directly to God with raw, anguished fury and honesty.

What you'll learn:

Why does God allow suffering to get worse even when you're already doing everything right?

In Job chapters 1–3, the loss piles up fast for Job. Then Satan unleashes physical suffering so severe that Job's own friends don't recognize him when they arrive, and they sit in stunned silence for seven days. Job's wife, broken by her own grief, urges him to curse God and die. And in chapter 3, the man who worshipped through catastrophe opens his mouth and wishes he had never been born.
