Have you ever worried that following God might take you somewhere you don’t want to go, or that you wouldn’t be able to keep up if you tried?
In Psalm 23:3b, David writes, “He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” The Hebrew word nachah means to guide, to govern, to lead forth. It’s not just about pointing out the path. It’s about walking with us, rerouting us when we wander, and strengthening us to keep moving forward.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:
- What synonyms and antonyms of “guide” reveal about God’s trustworthy leadership
- How translations like The Passion Translation and The Voice paint vivid pictures of God steering us off worn, hard paths and into places of life and beauty
- Insights from commentaries, including the reminder that obedience isn’t about knowing every option, it’s about staying close to the Shepherd
- Tony Evans’ GPS comparison and what it means for God to lovingly reroute us
- The characteristics of God revealed in this verse: Guide, Righteous, Strong Tower
- Angie’s story of preparing for a young woman’s funeral and how God miraculously guided her, not because she figured it out, but because He was faithful

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
