When your soul feels anxious, restless, angry, or worn down, what do you do?
In this episode of Dad Tired, Pastor Kaleb points men back to one of the most overlooked gifts God has given us for caring for our souls: the Psalms. The Psalms give language to the deepest parts of us — our fear, sorrow, repentance, betrayal, joy, gratitude, and hope.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know what’s going on inside of me,” this episode will help you see the Psalms as God’s invitation to pray when you don’t know how to pray.
Kaleb walks through how Jesus, the apostles, and the early church leaned on the Psalms in moments of suffering, anxiety, worship, and spiritual battle. You’ll be encouraged to stop treating the Psalms as ancient poetry only, and start using them as daily prayers for your soul.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How the Psalms help diagnose and shepherd your soul
Why Jesus prayed the Psalms in His suffering
How the early church used the Psalms in moments of fear and persecution
Why the Psalms give language to anxiety, repentance, grief, and worship
A simple practice for praying through the Psalms each week
Whether you’re anxious, tired, tempted, grateful, or grieving, the Psalms give you words to bring your whole heart before God.
