The Wisdom Journey

Share a comment Songs on the road have a way of pulling us forward when life pulls us apart. We walk through Psalms 120–122 and the ancient tradition of the Songs of Ascent—lyrics sung by pilgrims climbing toward Jerusalem—that still steady modern hearts surrounded by noise, deceit, and conflict. We start with a clear-eyed look at a world that prefers war to peace and lies to truth, then learn how honest lament becomes the first step of real pilgrimage. From there, we rethink the familiar li...

Share a comment What if your love for God could be traced, line by line, through your love for his Word? We walk through Psalm 119 with four searching questions—do you love Scripture, memorize it, understand it, and apply it—and discover how a prayerful posture turns pages into pathways. From the warmth of old letters that meant more because of who wrote them, to the grit of hiding verses in your heart, to a humble plea for open eyes, this conversation connects the psalmist’s ancient song to ...

It supervises your choices, keeps your path pure, and becomes the steady voice when...

We start with Psalm 115’s bracing honesty—idols glitter but cannot act, while the unseen Lord is our help and shield. That truth steadies courage under pressure and call...

Share a comment Awe begins where attention lives. We open Psalms 111–114 and follow a path from studying God’s works in creation to trusting his hand in history and obeying his word in the present. From electric eels to the Cavendish Laboratory, we connect scientific wonder with the psalmist’s claim: Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. That study does not stop at atoms and galaxies; it moves into redemption, memory, and song. We then shift to Psalm 112 to ask...
