There’s a kind of strength that doesn’t show up in the spotlight. It’s not loud, but it holds steady when everything else shakes.
In this episode, we turn our attention to Psalm 1 and the image of a life planted—intentionally rooted beside the living water of God’s word. As Debbie returns from Alaska with fresh reflections and honest stories, she draws a vivid picture of what it means to live a spiritually grounded life in a world that constantly pulls us toward fear, distraction, and instability.
This week’s teaching gently challenges and encourages listeners to examine where they’ve planted themselves—and what their roots are actually drawing from.
As you listen, you’ll discover:
How spiritual depth increases when we stop chasing control and start cultivating consistency in our time with God.
The difference between being busy “for” God and being planted “with” Him—and how one leads to peace while the other leads to burnout.
A thoughtful look at Psalm 1:1–3, unpacking how our thoughts, behaviors, and conversations either strengthen or weaken our root system.
Whether your current season feels settled or scattered, this episode will meet you right where you are and invite you to plant yourself beside the stream that never runs dry.
