For marine biologist, writer, and lay theologian Rachel Jordan, the ocean has never just been a backdrop—it's been a living metaphor for her relationship with God. Raised in a Christian household, Rachel's wonder at tide pools and the mysteries of the deep developed alongside her budding faith. She explains how the intrigue of peering into tiny, brimming tide pools mirrored her fascination with glimpses of God's character: “There was something vast and impressive that laid beyond, that I wanted to explore.” Just as the tide pools hinted at whole worlds awaiting discovery, Rachel found that both faith and science propelled her deeper: “Being a Christian has propelled me further into a desire to understand science ... and being a scientist has, I believe, made me a better Christian.” Rachel may study the ocean's wonders, but her path has been anything but fearless. “I've had this recurring nightmare ... of getting eaten by sharks ... I was just terrified of it,” she confesses. And yet, her marine biology career meant close encounters with those notorious creatures were not just possible, but sometimes necessary. What's remarkable is how God met her in those moments of dread—not by removing the fear, but by transforming it. As she recounts, “The beauty is that God took this thing that I was afraid of and converted it to open-mouthed wonder.” Rachel's transparency normalizes fear as a companion to growth, whether learning to dive or facing daunting new callings. Her encouragement? “It's okay to feel [fear]; it might be something that God uses in your story to do something really big and to show you more of who he is.” Lessons of Grief and Hope from the Coral Reefs Perhaps nowhere does Rachel blend her scientific vocation and spiritual conviction more poignantly than in her stewardship of endangered corals. She describes the “magic castles” of Dry Tortugas National Park—towering, endangered pillar corals—where she devoted herself to preservation efforts. Witnessing the corals' decline from disease was, for Rachel and her fellow scientists, “tragic and deeply impactful.” Yet, as a follower of Christ, Rachel finds hope in the heartbreak. Not only does she grieve in community, but she sees loss through the lens of biblical resurrection. She connects the “white skeleton bony structures” of dead corals to Ezekiel's vision of dry bones: if God can bring those bones to life, can't he also restore coral reefs one day? For Rachel, loss becomes an invitation to hope: “All of creation is eventually going to be restored, remade ... I just wonder what he's going to do next.” Divine Lessons from Buddy Dives and Seahorses Diving, for all its wonder, is fraught with risk, which is why marine biologists always practice “buddy diving”—entrusting their lives to a partner in the depths. For Rachel, this is a living parable: “God is our ultimate dive buddy ... he's not only capable of rescuing us in danger, but he promises to never leave or forsake us.” Other creatures—even a seahorse named Mr. Snuggles—have revealed to her the joy of relationship, not just provision. “I want to, like Mr. Snuggles, draw close to him and just sort of curl up with him and hang out together.” Scripture: A Dive Site Brimming with Life What better metaphor for the Bible, Rachel muses, than a vibrant dive site—unchanging in position but always full of surprise, beauty, and life? “When I read God's word ... there's always something new to discover.” It's a place to keep returning with fresh awe and an explorer's heart. The Deep Calls to Deep Whether or not you'll ever strap on a snorkel, Rachel's conversation is an invitation: to see the world as shot through with the beauty and presence of its Maker, to find him not only in safe harbor but also in the open, sometimes scary waters of life, and to trust that every loss and fear can be met—and even redeemed—by the God who made oceans and corals... and calls each of us out into the deep. MEET RACHEL JORDAN Rachel G. Jordan is a professional marine biologist and lay theologian. A self-professed Jesus-loving coral nerd, she was raised in Idaho and has since traveled the globe chasing her passion for faith and science. She has an MS in marine biology and ecology from James Cook University (Australia), a BS in ecology from Seattle Pacific University (USA), and a certification in biblical studies from Bodenseehof Bible School (Germany). In addition to working as a coral biologist for the US National Park Service, Rachel has worked in marine aquaculture research, organic chemistry laboratories, veterinary research facilities, the pet industry, and a museum. When not diving or writing, she can be found reading C.S. Lewis, growing wildflowers, and exploring creation with her husband.

For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like: How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed? What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus? How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair? What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God? In these pages, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You'll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you'll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel's thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.

When we are feeling empty or spiritually depressed, or when circumstances make us aware of our weakness, that is a great opportunity to grow in God by turning to Him and asking Him to fill our void. We must be thirsty for God before we drink of His living water (Isa 55:1, John 7:37, Rev 21:6, 22:17). When our soul is full of worldly things we have no room for God, but “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (God's Word and Spirit) Presence, for they shall be filled (with God's Presence)” (Matt 5:6). In Psalm 42 the psalmist is depressed and thirsty for the living God (v1-2), so He turns to God to fill him. Inspired by the local scenery, where the river Jordan flows out from Mount Hermon at Banias and tumbles down in waterfalls, he focuses on God, seeing these waters as a picture of God's river of life (v6), and then cries out from the depth of his heart (need) to the depths of God to fill him: “Deep calls unto deep at the noise (sound) of Your waterfalls (of grace)” (v7a). Through His Word, we hear the sound of His river of life flowing to us, and respond by calling out to Him to fill us. As a result: “all Your waves and billows (of love, peace and joy) have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime” (v7b-8). The Oil Miracle (2Kings 1-7), when God filled all the empty vessels that were presented to Him with His Oil (representing the Holy Spirit) reveals that He is willing to fill all the empty parts of our soul with His Spirit, if we turn to Him, present them to Him, and ask Him to fill us. The Oil only stopped flowing when there were no longer any empty vessels to fill. So our empty voids (our awareness of our weakness and need) are a great opportunity to turn to god and be filled.

"I chose Baikal at first because of the location, inspired by a magical realist novel set there, called The Year of Miracle and Grief by Leonid Borodin. I was curious to hear the actual sound of this ancient deep body of water. Listening, I was drawn into the scene, hearing the water lapping, like a giant breathing. And the crunching movement of feet circling it. "The presence of visitors at the lakeside creates a cultural meeting point, but is it respectful, or is it consuming? There is an ominous feeling as human presence circles and crunches without ceasing, almost predatory. But also thirsty. The lake has a mystical gravity, drawing people to its invisible depths, that speaks of eternity. "I edited the original file, removing voices, and added some fx to emphasise the slow breath, lapping of the water, and crunching of the feet. I then created a multiparts sample, assigning different sounds to keys. I added a bass synth gonging, like a march. Then played the sampler, record different layers of the field recording instrument over the track. I imagine this could be played live, in different combinations, emulating the sameness and difference to all the feet that tread the lake shore." Lake Baikal reimagined by Marg Laing. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Welcome to The Crosswalk Devotional. We're glad to have you listening with us. Today's topic is how God's deep love washes over us with power. We'll return with the devotional after a brief message from our sponsors. "Deep calls to deep" written and read by Whitney Hopler. "Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls. All your waves and breakers have swept over me." Psalm 42:7 NIV There's something deeply powerful about experiencing a waterfall. I hiked to several waterfalls recently in the waterfall capital of the world, the Hamilton Ontario Canada area where more than 100 waterfalls flow down the long Niagara Escarpment, on their way to the majestic Niagara Falls. Every single one of the waterfalls experienced overwhelmed me with the power and beauty of its fast moving water. As I watched the water flow, I thought of the powerful creator who designed our planet Sobell. Water flows abundantly through nature, just as God's love flows through our lives with overwhelming power. Near the end of my trip, I stood beside Niagara Falls, and let the incredible sound of its roar sweep over me. And then I thank God for that experience. The Bible uses the imagery of powerful moving water, waterfalls, waves and breakers. And Psalm 42:7 to describe the mighty power of God's presence with us. These overwhelming forces symbolizes God's overwhelmingly strong love that envelops us when we notice God's presence. The phrase Deep calls to deep at the beginning of this verse helps us visualize the deep connection between us and God. The depth of God's presence is so strong that it reaches the depth of our souls. Imagine standing beside a roaring waterfall. The site is mesmerizing. The sound is deafening. When you feel the incredible power of the water as it cascades down relentlessly. That's how God's love operates in our lives. It's a wild force that can't be tamed. God's loving presence sweeps over us with power, washing away our fears, our doubts and our sin. God's love is like living water. Just as water is vital for our physical health. God's love is essential for our spiritual health. God's living water is the constant refreshing presence of God, we need to survive and thrive. The pressures and demands of our lives can sometimes feel like relentless waves crashing over us, threatening to pull us under. during hard times. It's easy to feel helpless and alone, as if we're drowning in a sea of troubles. But the Libyan water of God's love is stronger than any challenges we face. God's living water cleanses and revives us. Imagine the refreshing sensation of cool water in a hot day, washing away dirt and sweat, leaving us feeling renewed and invigorated. That's what God's love does for our souls. God's love penetrates our defenses and reaches into the deepest parts of our being where our deepest fears and desires live. Because out to the depths within us that yearning for God, those hidden places where we carry our pain, our hopes and our dreams. God's love speaks to those depths, reassuring us that we aren't alone, and that we're deeply value. It gives us the strength to face our challenges, not by removing them, but by transforming us from within, giving us the strength we need to persevere. God's love is a constant powerful presence. Just like the steady flow of a mighty waterfall. It doesn't ebb and flow with the changing tides of our circumstances, but remains reliable and trustworthy.As we surrender to God's love, we aren't overcome by the weights. Instead, we're lifted above them by all as we experience God's wonder. That all helps us transcend our circumstances by directing our attention to God. We're cleansed of our burdens and fears and we're revived with purpose and peace. This deep love caused us to a deeper relationship with God, where we allow God's love to flow through every aspect of our lives. Whenever we enjoy waterfalls and waves and God's creation Let's remember that God's deep loving presence calls out to the depths of our souls, inviting us into powerful relationships with our Creator. Intersecting safe and life. As you consider how God's deep and powerful love washes over you, reflect on these questions. And what ways have you experienced God's love as a powerful, overwhelming force in your life? How does the imagery of waterfalls waves and breakers help you understand the depth and strength of God's love? What areas of your life feel dry or barren? And how can you invite God's living water to refresh those places? What new habit can you develop to help you allow more of God's love to flow through your life? What steps can you take to trust God's love more fully, especially in challenging situation? Further reading John 4:14. Isaiah 43:2 Psalm 46:4 Revelation 22:1 , Ezekiel 47:9.

This week Tim continued his series on The Kingdom of God, focusing on Psalm 42.
Come journey with me to the Cosmos and engage The Deep of God
Psalm 42 is a heartfelt expression of longing for God in the midst of distress. It is attributed to the sons of Korah and is part of the first book of the Psalms. This psalm is particularly noted for its vivid imagery and emotional depth. Here's an overview and analysis: Structure and Themes Verses 1-2: Longing for God •The psalm opens with a powerful metaphor, comparing the psalmist's longing for God to a deer panting for streams of water. •The psalmist expresses a deep thirst for God, emphasizing a strong desire for His presence. Verses 3-4: Remembrance and Sorrow •The psalmist recounts their tears and the taunts of others asking, “Where is your God?” •They remember past times of joy and worship, contrasting them with their current state of sorrow. Verse 5: Hope and Self-Encouragement •The psalmist speaks to their own soul, questioning why it is downcast and urging it to put hope in God, with the assurance of praising Him again. Verses 6-7: Deep Calls to Deep •The psalmist acknowledges their soul's deep anguish, feeling overwhelmed by the turmoil. •They use the imagery of waterfalls and waves to describe their distress, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of their situation. Verses 8-10: Trust Amid Trials •Despite the distress, the psalmist declares their trust in God's steadfast love and anticipates praising Him with songs. •They continue to question God's seeming absence while facing the taunts and attacks of enemies. Verse 11: Refrain of Hope and Trust in God •The psalmist repeats the refrain, encouraging their soul to hope in God and expressing confidence in future praise. Key Points 1.Desperate Longing for God •The metaphor of a deer panting for water vividly captures the psalmist's intense desire for God's presence. This imagery can resonate deeply with anyone feeling spiritually parched. 2.Contrast Between Past Joy and Present Sorrow •The recollection of past joyous worship experiences serves to highlight the depth of the psalmist's current sorrow. This contrast underscores the emotional weight of their lament. 3.Dialogue with the Soul •The psalmist's dialogue with their own soul reflects a profound self-awareness and a conscious effort to combat despair with hope and trust in God. 4.Imagery of Overwhelming Distress •The imagery of waterfalls and waves illustrates the psalmist's sense of being overwhelmed. This powerful description helps convey the intensity of their emotional and spiritual struggle. 5.Resilient Faith •Despite the depth of their anguish, the psalmist maintains a resilient faith, consistently turning their focus back to hope in God and the anticipation of future praise. Application •For Personal Reflection: •Consider times when you have felt a deep longing for God's presence. How can you nurture this longing in your daily life? •Reflect on the importance of recalling past experiences of God's faithfulness to strengthen your trust in difficult times. •For Encouragement: •The psalmist's dialogue with their soul can serve as a model for self-encouragement. How can you speak hope and truth to your own soul when facing despair? •For Worship: •The psalm emphasizes the significance of communal worship and joyful praise. Think about how you can engage more deeply in worship and support others in their spiritual journey. Conclusion Psalm 42 is a poignant exploration of longing, sorrow, and hope. It vividly captures the human experience of spiritual thirst and the struggle to maintain faith amid trials. Through its powerful imagery and emotional depth, the psalm offers a model of resilient faith and self-encouragement, reminding believers of the importance of hope and trust in God.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
In this podcast Paul Keith discusses our election by God's foreknowledge and the seed of destiny that has been placed within us. The Lord is pouring water on that seed of destiny and we are longing for these deep things of the spirit at the end of the age in God‘s Omega time.

In Psalm 42, the writer's critics see his distress and say "Where is your God?" I know you have felt like asking that question. This Psalm writer is looking for God in difficult circumstances as he says "as the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for You my God." Then there's that cryptic phrase "deep calls to deep." what does that mean?
'We are as close to God as we want to be. God has called us to go deeper in our relationship with Him. How can we go deeper in our walk of faith?
In this message, Phil continued our series Deep Calls to Deep with a focus on the ideas of attention and action. In the story of Jesus' birth, we notice that the people who were most ready for the coming of the Messiah were those who were actively looking for him. Their worship flowed from their attention. This can be the same for us today.
In this message, Phil presented his second lesson in the series Deep Calls to Deep. This message is entitled Sing Through, and he spoke about how music can carry us through the difficult times in our lives. Phil looked at the songs in the nativity story and showed how they help carry the characters through the twists and turns of the story. He also used the back story of one of the most famous Christmas songs to drive home the idea that we are called to Sing Through.
In this message, Phil will started a new series called Deep Calls to Deep. In this series, Phil will explore the wondrous world of worship. In this first message he reflected on Jesus' famous statement to the Samaritan woman in John 4.
DAVID WAS not perfect, but he recognized his failures. More importantly, he acknowledged that God was the source of his salvation—his yeshua. This week, we study four psalms dated to the last part of David's life. This followed the rebellion and death of his son, Absalom, his near-death at the hands of one of the Philistine “sons of the Rapha,” and his decision to eliminate the male heirs of the House of Saul (except for Mephibosheth) to repay the blood-guilt due the people of Gideon. We take a long look at Psalm 42, which is well known for its beautiful, poetic language: Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. (Psalm 42:7, ESV) That verse is more supernatural than is obvious on the surface. In context, it's a cry from behind enemy lines—the Upper Galilee, near Mount Hermon, or the area that we believe was the literal Valley of the Shadow of Death.If you can send a get-well card to young Finn Walden, who suffered a serious fall out of a tree a few days ago, the address is:Finn Walden14065 Road 37Mancos, CO 81328If you are able to help Jamie and Virginia Walden defray Finn's medical expenses, you can do that here: www.calicobuffalobasecamp.com/support.
What does it mean that deep calls to deep? What is the meaning of Psalm 42:7?
An Answer to PrayerThree months and one kidney later, beloved Cedarville professor Dr. Chuck Elliott is feeling better than he has in years, all thanks to thousands of answered prayers and the selfless sacrifice of his brother-in-law, Jon Enright, pastor of Troy Christian Chapel in suburban Detroit, Michigan. This road to good health for Chuck has been a long one with its ups and downs.After years of misdiagnosed high blood pressure, Chuck was devastatingly diagnosed with kidney failure in May 2022. He quickly began dialysis to sustain his failing kidneys and this grueling process, which took nine hours every night, took a toll on his body.His doctors told him he had one choice – to find a kidney donor. They advised him to ask for willing donors, but anyone who knows Chuck knows that he is a humble and modest man – not about to ask someone for such a sacrifice. But his students felt differently. As part of a class assignment, a group of students started the social media campaign, Deep Calls for Life, through which they educated people about organ donation and campaigned for a kidney for Dr. Elliott. After almost a year of nightly dialysis, Chuck received word that Jon was a match to donate a kidney. For Jon, this was not a difficult decision. He even went to great lengths to meet donor requirements, including losing 30 pounds.After successful surgeries for both Chuck and Jon, Chuck is well on the road to recovery, feeling better than he has in years. Though not without its side-effects and immunity complications, this transplant has been life-changing for Chuck, and he is forever grateful for the support of his students, friends, and family.

Deep Calls for LifeGood health is not something to take for granted. Just ask Dr. Chuck Elliott, Senior Professor of Communication at Cedarville University. Throughout his life, he's been a model of good health. That was until he began experiencing severe headaches and uncontrollable high blood pressure while teaching in Hong Kong. Ultimately, the high blood pressure left significant damage to Chuck's kidneys, and two years ago, doctors noticed a significant change in his health. He was in the beginning stages of kidney failure. Just one year later in May 2022, Chuck's kidneys were in full-blown failure, causing him to need dialysis — nine hours every day. With the reality of needing a kidney to survive, Chuck was in a difficult position. How does a person go about getting a new kidney? It's not like Chuck to share his situation with anyone, let alone ask someone if they would donate a kidney to him. This was an uncomfortable situation for someone who made his life as a communications professor. Well, several Cedarville University students were presented with class projects that could help Chuck in his quest of a new kidney. Enter Deep Calls for Life, a project headed by a team of marketing and communication students. Their sole purpose was to create a social media campaign that would communicate Chuck's health crisis and his need of a kidney transplant — preferably from a live donor — for their beloved professor. As part of a virtual communication class project, the students created a social media campaign intended to bring hope to the Cedarville professor, and, possibly someone who could provide the perfect kidney for Chuck. ---------And now, several months later, Cedarville Stories Podcast is please to share good news about Chuck Elliott!Listen here to learn more about Chuck's story and the answer to many prayers on the Cedarville Stories Podcast.
Let Your Heart be Emboldened, You who Wait for the Lord Lectionary Date: May 7, 2023 [5th Sunday of Easter, Year A] Rosy and Paul are joined this week by special guest, Bill Brown. Bill is Professor of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church (USA). He is also the author of several books, including Seeing the Psalms: A Theology of Metaphor (2002), God and the Imagination: A Primer to Reading the Psalms in an Age of Pluralism (2001), and Deep Calls to Deep: The Psalms in Dialogue amid Disruption (2021). Those are just some his titles directly on the Psalms, friends! Some of you may remember using his Handbook to Old Testament Exegesis (2017) which has become an OT seminary classroom staple for many of us as students and teachers.

Deep calls to Deep A traditional Orthodox chant, arranged by Justin Coldstream I came across this beautiful ancient chant from the Orthodox tradition, which Justin kindly transcribed and arranged for us. It seems particularly relevant to meditate on this piece, and to use it to pray for Orthodfox believers in Russia, Ukraine and around the world at this time. Ruach Breath of Life 2022. Recorded at The House of the Open Door, Childswickham. With many thanks to Francis Cummings, Christiane Mueller, Corinne Frost and Jo Garcia (strings) and especially Anthony Thompson, who added the beautiful trumpet obligato.
God is deeper than the deep trouble we find ourselves in. Keywords: Deeper; rescue; trouble; Yahweh, power; help. Scripture: Psalm 42:7
In Psalm 42: stanzas 1-8, beneath the chaos of circumstances emerges a compelling portrait of spiritual maturity. The author is experiencing a torrential storm of life, and it appears to him that the LORD is asleep and cares not that he perishes. The “deep” called on the writer of this psalm. That is deep trial, deep suffering, deep tribulation and deep despair and anguish. And when deep called, his faith though tried and tested met the challenge.

Pastor Duane continues to speak about how to go deeper in a relationship with God, and how we can apply what Scripture teaches to our lives today!
New Episode will be back August 3rd! Don't miss this gem from last year - this week is Kristen's pick: "I chose this episode because we talk about how desperate we can feel when times are tough. It's just when we think things couldn't get any more challenging… boom, something else happens. We compare it to being in the ocean and feeling like you're drowning as you are smacked by yet another wave. It's in these moments of desperation when God can do some of his best work, he meets us where we are 'when deep calls out to deep' and provides the strength we need to keep swimming. I think this is a very relatable topic for those times when we feel like we can't catch a break." -- Kristen Join us as we explore Psalm 42:7 and discuss what it looks like when the depth of our emotional pain is matched with the depth of God's character, ability to comfort and heal It's a powerful and personal discussion that brings hope and encouragement.
