Selah: Using the Psalms for Personal & Spiritual Growth

About Selah: Using the Psalms for Personal & Spiritual Growth

Welcome to Selah, a podcast dedicated to understanding and using the Psalms for personal and spiritual growth. In this 10-lesson study, we’ll explore the composition and overarching storyline of the Psalms from Psalm 1 to 150, while also focusing on how to actively use them in our daily walk with God so that they become a vital part of our spiritual lives. Our journey includes: - 1 introductory lesson on the Psalms - 6 lessons on the structure and storyline of the Psalter - 3 lessons on how to personally use the Psalms—in memorization, prayer, and discipleship Reformer Martin Luther once said one can find “psalms and words which are appropriate to the circumstances in which he finds himself and meet his needs as adequately as if they were composed exclusively for his sake.” Join us as we dive into this powerful collection of songs and prayers. Let’s grow together in faith through the beauty of the Psalms!
