Psalm 129: Afflicted, Not Destroyed — God's Preserving Grace in Suffering Show: Walking Through the Psalms (Servants of Grace Podcast) | Speaker: Dave Jenkins | Passage: Psalm 129 | Date: Friday, February 6, 2026 Show Summary Psalm 129 reminds us that the journey of God's people is not only marked by blessing, but also by affliction. As a Song of Ascents, this psalm was sung by Israel on the road to Jerusalem bearing witness to generations of suffering, endurance, and the Lord's preserving grace. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, Dave Jenkins teaches that faithfulness to God does not shield believers from hardship, but it does guarantee a secure outcome. God's people may be struck down, but they are never destroyed, because the Lord is righteous, His justice is sure, and His sustaining grace holds His people fast. Ultimately, Psalm 129 points us to Jesus Christ—afflicted, rejected, and crucified yet victorious in His resurrection. Because Christ lives, suffering does not have the final word, and opposition cannot undo the promises of God. Listen Watch Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it and leaving a review. It helps others find trustworthy biblical teaching. Next episode: We'll continue our journey through the Songs of Ascents by looking at Psalm 130. For more from our Psalm series visit here or at our YouTube.
What relevance do Asaph's words have for us, today?
Yesterday, January 29th, was the 101st anniversary of the birth of the Canadian soprano (later mezzo) Lois Marshall. Marshall was in so many ways a unique and treasurable artist. Afflicted with polio as a young child, she spent much of her early life hospitalized. It was there that she discovered the expressive power of her singing voice. Following her training at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Marshall won two prestigious vocal competitions, including the Naumburg, she was taken on by such early mentors as Arturo Toscanini and Thomas Beecham and others. Audiences were captivated by both the spontaneity and directness of her artistry. Though she made occasional appearances in opera (and in particular televised opera, where her mobility issues could be more easily managed), she was primarily known as a concert singer. Recommended by the young Glenn Gould, she quickly became a favorite with Russian audiences and created the Canadian premieres of works by Poulenc and Britten, among others. This, the fourth Countermelody episode devoted to this artist, features her in a wide range of material, including in particular work by contemporary Canadian composers including Harry Somers, Oskar Morawetz, Srul Anthony Glick, Godfrey Ridout, Harry Freedman, and Jean Coulthard. The episode also emphasizes the purity and expressiveness of her singing in Baroque music, including Handel, Bach, Purcell, and Schütz as well as her unique way on the concert platform with both art song and folk song arrangements. Collaborating artists include Leopold Stokowski, Maureen Forrester, Glenn Gould, Seiji Ozawa, John Alexander, and Thomas Beecham. Once heard, Lois Marshall will never be forgotten. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This week in 2nd Corinthians 1:3–7, we explore how God meets us in suffering not with easy answers, but with his comforting presence, reminding us that real hope is found in the gospel of a Savior who suffered for us and walks with us through hardship.

As I was listening to an episode of the Ludology podcast recently, one focused on games and health, I started to think about how much the people we play with influence our gameplay experience. Selecting board games based on the audience is much more important than we may like to believe. Get it wrong, and you have one player rebelling and playing opposite to expectations, another disengaging completely, and the overall mood shifting from playful enjoyment to uncomfortable tension. In this article, I want to discuss how a mismatch can impact the enjoyment of the whole group, alter the tone of reviews, and even affect playtest outcomes.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/30/socially-afflicted-how-people-affect-gameplay-experience-topic-discussion/Useful LinksLudology podcast episode 351, Better Health Through Gaming: https://ludology.libsyn.com/ludology-351-better-health-through-gamingPandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Amit Bar's and Tobias Otterbring's study “The role of culture and personality traits in board game habits and attitudes” in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969698921000722Qian Zhang's, JiaLe Ruan's and DingYong Xiong's study “Differential effects of exposure to cooperative versus competitive games on sharing behavior in young children" in Frontiers in Psychiatry: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12268353/Bez Shahriari's reflections on playtesting behaviour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bez_ShahriariBoard Game Design Lab: https://boardgamedesignlab.com/Mahiro Egashira's, Daisuke Son's and Arisa Ema's study “Serious Game for Change in Behavioral Intention Toward Lifestyle Related Diseases” in JMIR Serious Games: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35188465/Ramy Hammady's and Sylvester Arnab's review “Serious Gaming for Behaviour Change, A Systematic Review” in Information: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/13/3/142MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/)Music: "Epic Inspiration" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Galaxy" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Legend" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlogPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblogWebsite: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/

Send us a textEver notice how comfort can quietly pull your eyes off God, while hardship snaps your focus back? We enter Job 6, where Job begs for relief yet refuses to conceal the words of the Holy One. His question—What is my strength, that I should hope?—becomes our doorway into a deeper look at integrity, dependence, and the paradox of hope born in affliction.We walk through the scene where Job's friends should have been like cool streams in a dry land, and instead become seasonal brooks that vanish when most needed. From there, we open a candid, lively roundtable on prosperity versus affliction: why wealth, ease, and success can drift us toward self-reliance, and how loss, limits, and grief can train us to rely on God. You'll hear grounded insights on patience forged in trial, reliance that matures into character, and the kind of hope that doesn't wither when strength is gone. We also bring in the sobering wisdom of Proverbs 30—neither poverty nor riches, but daily bread—to reframe what true security looks like.If you've ever asked where God is in silence, or wondered why blessings sometimes make faith feel thin, this conversation offers clarity without clichés. We aim to comfort rather than accuse, to be friends who bring water instead of lectures, and to help you see why affliction can be a strange gift that restores your gaze. Stay to the end for practical reflections on guarding your heart in prosperity and standing firm in suffering so that hope endures.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!
Send us a textWhat holds when everything else breaks? We walk through Job's story to confront loss, fragility, and the stubborn hope that grows where our strength ends. Instead of sugarcoating pain, we name it, sit with it, and ask better questions about God's purpose when explanations don't arrive on our schedule.We start with the shock of Job's total collapse—wealth, status, children, health, and friendship stripped away in a blink—and the mental and spiritual whiplash that follows. From there, we push back on the comfort myth of karma and the cultural idol of self-will. If life is just moral math, grace is unnecessary; if God is only a gift dispenser, faith crumbles when gifts go missing. We offer a different path: begin by thanking God in the middle of hardship. Not because pain is good, but because meaning can precede understanding and sovereignty can steady the soul before answers come.Anchored in Job 6:12, we explore why admitting “I am not brass or stone” is not defeat but wisdom. Human weakness is not a flaw to hide; it's the doorway to dependence. We unpack how depravity humbles our confidence in self-salvation and why new birth turns desire toward God. Along the way, we challenge harmful counsel that suspects secret sin and instead model presence, patience, and truthful encouragement. Strength is made perfect in weakness not by gritting our teeth but by leaning into the One who sustains us when we can't stand on our own.Listen for a grounded, tender exploration of suffering, sovereignty, and hope. If you're weary, wounded, or wrestling with God's will, you'll find language for lament and a pathway to resilient faith.

Send us a textWhat if the most faithful thing you can do is admit you're out of strength? We open with a crisp reset on two often-confused ideas—kenosis and depravity—so the scene in Job 6 comes into focus. Kenosis is voluntary emptying for the sake of humble service; depravity is our inability to please God apart from grace. With that lens, Job's lament sounds less like guilt and more like truth. He's spent. His help isn't in him. His wisdom feels gone. And the friends who should refresh him have become dry streams.We sit with Job's exhaustion and then look around our own lives. How often do we offer analysis instead of pity? How often do we confuse strength with performance, resilience with denial? The conversation challenges a cultural script that says “be strong, you'll bounce back,” and replaces it with a biblical one: God's strength is made perfect in weakness. You cannot be filled while you're full of yourself. That's the heart of kenosis—laying down status, reputation, and the need to be right so that God can fill what you cannot fix.Voices from our community add depth and courage. A raw story of suffering becomes a doorway to faith. A reminder from Scripture anchors us: no one comes unless the Father draws, and all whom he gives will come. We explore why focusing on wounds rather than worth keeps us near God, how suspicion masquerades as discernment, and why real friends offer water before words. Through Job's imagery of failed brooks, we learn to become living streams—people who carry mercy, presence, and truth in season.If you're tired of pretending you're fine, this conversation gives language and hope. Expect a clearer view of humility, a firmer grip on God's sovereignty, and practical guidance for comforting the afflicted without piling on.

Send us a textA thirsty traveler scans the map for water and finds a dry bed—that's the image Job gives us for friends who should refresh but instead accuse. We dive into that ache with open eyes and open Bibles, unpacking why counsel without compassion becomes a mirage and how to become the kind of friend who brings real relief. From brooks and streams to the longing of Tema and Sheba, we trace how hope turns to shame when comfort is replaced by suspicion, and how presence, patience, and prayer can reverse the damage.Together we press into the harder truths: suffering often resists tidy explanations, and pious language can wound when it arrives without tenderness. We explore the sovereignty of God, human frailty, and the danger of moral shortcuts that label grief as guilt. Along the way, we highlight the rich doctrines embedded in Job—atonement, restoration, resurrection hope—and show how they steady us when life's deserts stretch long. The conversation stays practical: listen before you answer, ask gentle questions, let Scripture be balm rather than a verdict, and guard your friend's dignity when their strength is thin.We end by interceding for a brother wrestling with doubt, modeling the kind of spiritual friendship Job longed for: not loud, not clever, but faithful. If you've ever been hurt by “help,” or if you've wondered how to show up well for someone in pain, this one will meet you where you are. Take a walk with us through Job's landscape of loss and learn how to bring water to parched souls.

In this week's POSC Podcast, Bro. Joseph D. Putnam delivers a powerful message rooted in Romans 8:28, revealing a truth believers can anchor their lives on: the unwavering goodness of God. Speaking from the perspective of someone intimately acquainted with trial, Bro. Putnam reminds us that God's goodness is not proven by the absence of suffering—but by His faithfulness in the middle of it. Bro. Putnam walks listeners through the extraordinary hardships of Paul's life—whippings, beatings, shipwrecks, persecution, hunger, cold, imprisonment, and relentless pressure from all sides—only to point us back to Paul's own conclusion: “Afflicted, but not crushed… struck down, but not destroyed.” God sustained him. God delivered him. God was still good. And the same God who carried Paul carries us today. With sincerity, Scripture, and steady conviction, Bro. Putnam parallels Paul's testimony with our own battles—broken bodies, lost loved ones, grief, mistreatment, uncertainty, unmet promises—and shows how God weaves His goodness through every chapter. Our trials don't disqualify His goodness. They display it. When hope feels distant, His hand is present. When weakness overwhelms, His strength lifts. When pain cries loudest, His comfort speaks clearest. This episode also carries a dual call to action: If you're in the storm—praise anyway. God moves in the middle of honest worship. If you've come through the storm—praise because He brought you out. Ending with a resounding echo of Psalm 150, this message shifts our posture from asking “Why me?” to declaring “God is still good.” It stirs something in the soul and demands a response: let everything that has breath praise the Lord. No clouds. No clichés. Just confidence in God's goodness. To hear more about what God is doing in Sheboygan County and beyond, visit us at posc.church!

The Apostle Matthew continues to demonstrate the use of the scriptures in the life and ministry of Jesus. In the passage before us, Matt.21:12-16, the savior spoke from scripture twice which Matthew then records for us. In verse 13, Jesus begins by saying, 'It is written' and then in verse 16 He says, 'Have you never read'? The first statement is from Isa.56:7, which God Himself spoke through Isaiah. Jesus then asks one question. He then quotes Psalm 8:2 which speaks of the praises of the Messiah from the lips of children. Jesus knew the Word of God.John 8:30 Jesus says: "If you abide in my word then truly are are disciples of mine and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 21:12.

If you were to imagine an ancient king entering his capital city, you would likely picture a man sitting atop a powerful warhorse. You might see behind him a gleaming parade of chariots and a conquering army marching in formation. The king displays overwhelming strength and portrays an image that demands submission. This is how the world understands power. But the prophet Zechariah paints a radically different picture. He describes a righteous and holy King, one who is bringing rescue and salvation, riding into Jerusalem. Yet he does not ride on a warhorse, instead he arrives as one humbled—afflicted—riding on a donkey. What kind of kingdom is this? This prophecy cuts against every human expectation of power and glory. The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zechariah 9. To learn more about Christ Lutheran, visit clc-in.org. The Persian king Cyrus issues an astonishing decree: the exiles may go home. Among them are the Jews—God's chosen people—whom this pagan ruler not only repatriates, but commands to rebuild the temple of the Lord. Ezra 1–4 tells of their return, the joy of restored worship, and the crushing opposition that brings construction to a standstill. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah speak with God's authority, calling His people to courage, repentance, and hope. In Ezra 5–8 the temple is completed, worship flourishes, and hearts are renewed in God's Word. This series on Thy Strong Word follows the events in the order they happened, revealing how the Lord moves kings and prophets, overcomes opposition, and restores His people. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

God does not willingly afflict; He takes no pleasure in the sufferings of any of His creatures, much less in the sorrows of His children; but He chastises them for their real good. Why some are so much more afflicted than others, we do not know; but we do know, "that all things work together for good to those who love God"; (Rom 8:28) and that, although "no chastening for the present is joyous—but grievous, yet afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto those who are exercised thereby". (Heb 12:11) The afflicted mourner finds it hard to believe this promise, and cannot see how it is possible that such a calamity should be of any benefit. But God's Word is to be credited in opposition to our own feelings, and to all appearances. He has ways of working which we do not now understand—but shall know hereafter.
Originally released for Patrons on Sep 26, 2024 In this episode, Hallie dives into the web of social factors that likely drove the Salem Witch trials. The bewitched girls, called the afflicted, were from one faction in town, while the accused were from another. Is this a coincidence? Probably not.
