Podcasts about Still Waters

Series: Psalm 23Sermon Title: He Leads Me Beside Still Waters (Part 1)Main Scripture: Psalm 23:2 "He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters."Synopsis: One of the primary roles of a shepherd is to lead their sheep to drinkable water, as sheep need a consistent source of clean water in order to survive. This week we look at the first two of three primary sources for sheep to experience still waters.June 8, 2025 • Kyle Smith• • • • • • • •.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (MST) at the City Life Community Center in Missoula, MT.

Send us a textJoin us on a quiet night of summer rain as we listen to rooks and explore the beauty and ambiguities of two liminal places with a lot in common. We learn about the web-footed fenmen and are guided by Luke Sherlock to a ruined church under haunting skies.   Journal entry:6th June, Friday“We walk through the sheep field As the rain pours down. My boot socks still wet from last night. The rooks muster noisily at the One Oak.Even the magpies' cackles cannot wake The lambs still asleep Nestled beneath the blackthorn hedge.” Episode Information:In this episode I read Edward Storey's ‘You walk the roof of the world here' and Jeff Moore's ‘The worked land.' I also read an extract from Luke Sherlock's Forgotten Churches published by Quarto and refer to Adam Porter's podcast ‘The Water Road'More information about the campaign for a flag for the fens can be found here: Flag of the Fens.With special thanks to our lock-wheelers:Susan BakerMind Shambles Clare Hollingsworth Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textWelcome to tonight's episode where ‘Erica's Place' by Mindshambles awakens a kaleidoscope of reminiscences about Mum and ‘elevensies' and her never ending supply of fresh scones.

This teaching ended the Antioch Network retreat in Austin in July, 2010. The focus of that retreat was, “Restore the Ancient Anointing” - a theme very much on George's heart in those years, as he also was working on the Ancient Wells compilation. But he broke from the theme to narrate several key events in his life that taught him about God and himself, helping him mature into a more whole-hearted follower of Jesus. Teaching given on July 30, 2010, at Still Waters retreat center in southwest Austin.

1925. Pianiste en componiste Amy Beach schrijft het prachtige kleine pianowerkje By The Still Waters. Minder groots dan haar Eerste Symfonie waar ze bekend mee werd, maar Clara en Sander worden er helemaal stil van. Het leven van Beach was daarentegen minder rustig, van haar relatie met een rijke topdokter uit Boston, tot een lege erfenis… spannend genoeg om heel wat roddelboekskes mee te vullen. En doet Beach haar muziek jou ook zo denken aan die van Satie? Hoe zou dat komen?

Send us a textTonight, clouds build as the high pressure breaks. Speculative gusts of wind kick blackthorn blossom ghostly white along the towpath and the full moon seeps heavy and watery through a blanket of cloud. Join us tonight as we continue hearing Mum's account of a risk that was totally worth taking.     Journal entry:7th April, Monday“Warm snowflakes Of blackthorn float and drift Along the towpath Among cowslip yellow And bluebell blue.The sheep are loathe To move, preferring to lie On the grass White with night frost, Enjoying the heat Of the sun On their backs.” Episode Information:In this episode I read:‘Blackthorn Blossom' by John Bond‘Young lambs' by John ClareIn the thumbnail photograph, Mum and Dad are the couple facing each other and closest to the camers.

Bonjour! New episode out now! We watched the first episode of the French crime show Candice Renoir. We discuss our enjoyment of Candice and her approach to policing, drawing on her intuition and skills as both a professional and a mother, and how that causes strife within the team she is placed in charge of. We talk about the challenges in understanding some of the nuances in a different language and culture, but how that also made it fun. We touch on the somewhat mysterious and confusing hierarchy used by police and military units, discuss the pros and cons of doing procedural television for multiple seasons, and try to pronounce French names and terms with varying success. Katy sneaks in a Seinfeld reference, Carrie has read this whole show, Maddy tells a fun hospital story about weird brains, and Mack got Inception-ed by Aretha Franklin. We also believe being called “Barbie” is not an insult, wonder how much fandom can really influence media, enjoy foreign media's depiction of Americans, and discover Discord is amazing for pun-based comedy. We touch on gay Star Wars characters, Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 marking the passage of time, Columbo, and the marimba. Apprécier!TW: Child abuse, sex work, suicide, fatphobia, misogyny

Anxiety Hates Psalm 23  #RTTBROS #NightlightAnxiety Hates Psalm 23 #RTTBROS #Nightlight The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.(Psalm 23, KJV)Last night my sleep tracking app said I got just 3.5 hours of sleep. My dreams were troubled. Satan brought an old problem to the forefront of my mind to give me a spirit of fear and anxiety. I was still agitated on the way to work at 5 this morning then God showed up through Leanna Crawford's song "Still Waters".This song eased my mind and refocused my heart on him...I am safe...my family is safe...God's got this. Here is the song may it minister to your heart today. Anxiety Hates Psalm 23Great Aunt Maurine said at a hundred and threeWrite scripture on your heart for when you need itCause anxiety hates Psalm 23So just say it to yourself 'til you believe itAnd I'm feeling like I'm needing it right nowThe Lord is my shepherd, I shall not wantHe leads me by still waters 'til my fears are goneThough I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathO I know You are with meMy father, my friendYour goodness and mercy will follow me all of my daysI know by Your still waters I'm safeLord I believe You can set me at easeTurn this broken piece in me to peace and quietI know there's power in Your wordSo I'll say it over and over til my soul's remindedApplication Points:1. Memorize Scripture for Spiritual Battle: Like Great Aunt Maurine wisely advised, plant God's Word deep in your heart before the storms come. When anxiety strikes, Psalm 23 becomes your spiritual weapon.2. Speak Truth Over Your Fears: Notice how the Psalmist declares "I will fear no evil" in the very midst of the valley. When anxious thoughts invade, speak God's promises aloud until your emotions align with His truth.3. Remember God's Presence in Dark Valleys: The Psalm doesn't promise absence of valleys but presence of the Shepherd. Your circumstances may not change immediately, but knowing you're not alone changes everything.4. Rest by Still Waters Daily: Schedule intentional time to be led beside still waters through prayer, worship, and scripture meditation before anxiety has a chance to take root.5. Trust the Shepherd's Direction: Just as sleep tracking shows your rest patterns, trust that God is tracking your journey and knows exactly what you need, even when the path seems uncertain.Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Send us a textAlong the towpath, the battle between winter and spring has begun with days of warmth and days of sleet. Although even the young ducks teach us a lesson in conflict avoidance. Join us tonight as we celebrate the lives of two people who were central to the creation of Nighttime on Still Waters.      Journal entry:12th March, Wednesday.“The day winds down.A last walk along the canal side.Pebbled rings form in the open water.A kick of sleetDrives against my face.Captivated by the golden sunShining through rain mist.Such unimagined golds.Behind meA pale rainbowBows and fades to such majesty.” Episode Information:This episode is dedicated to the memory to two people without whom this podcast would not have been created: Michael Goode and Clifford DeHaven. Among many things, Clifford was a great musician. One of his musical incarnations was as 'Mournful Hornet' which seemed to capture his offbeat character and heart. You can hear him on SoundCloud. I also read the words of Meg Kara (Poetic Meg). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Gabriela Maria Rodriguez-VeinotteKevin B.Fleur and David McloughlinLois RaphaelTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid DiromChris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

Send us a textAlong the towpath winter slowly fades. If we are not quite in spring yet, we can feel it close at hand. Join us tonight as we celebrate the shifts in light and tone across the landscape and from deep within.       Journal entry: 26th February, Wednesday“For me, there are few things more beautiful and soul inspiring than this:       Rain on water,       Old growth by the waterside,       Time-bleached reeds       Standing like Nepalese prayer flags.       The song of home.       Signals of transcendence.”Episode Information:In this episode I read following poems:‘Winter' by Frank Mansell ‘XXXIV' by Idris Davies (adapted by Max Boyce ‘When we walked to Merthyr Tydfil')I also read excerpts from Book of Seasons by William Howitt (1833) and The Golden Age by Kenneth Grahame (1895). I also refer to the 1973 BBC Play for Today ‘Shakespeare or Bust' which can be viewed on YouTube.  With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

It's just the perfect kind of night to curl up and listen to some accounts about life on the canals in winters past, when the ice was 2ft 6in deep.      Journal entry:14th February, Friday "Steel-grey half-light. Rooks swing round the naked oaks. The daily clamour of heading for home; Roosting time.Their exuberant crow song And sense of life Fill me with a nameless emotion.It's something about A longing for home."Episode Information:The two readings featured in this episode are: ‘The Great Frost of 1895' by Monica Bennett and ‘Day of the ‘Iceberg' by Ron Whatley.

Send us a textIt's a bitingly cold, sleety night. There's a warning of snow in the forecast for later. It's a perfect night to sit together around a warm stove snug inside the Erica's cabin, while the wild world rages outside. The kettle is singing, the biscuit barrel is full. The night belongs to us.    Journal entry:7th February, Friday.“Yesterday's spectacular Blood-orange dawn Has given way to a dawn Without colour or feeling.We pick our way between Rutted potholes of slippery mud To the Magpie's scalding laugh.A wicked wind cuts In from the north-east And reminds me that I am, After all, an embodied being.”Episode Information:In this episode I read ‘Where does Comfort's Bosom Glow?' by John Clare from his Madrigals and Chronicles: Being newly found poems and ‘The Darkling Thrush' by Thomas Hardy (1900). I also quote from William Blake's (1796/7) The Four Zoas (Night the Second). With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Kevin B. Fleur and David Mcloughlin Lois Raphael Sami Walbury Tania Yorgey Andrea Hansen Chris Hinds David Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.

It is quite evident that the discipline of calming and quieting his soul before God in the place of prayer, intimacy, and communion with the Father had a prominent place in the life of Jesus and should occupy a prominent place in your life too. The practice of stillness has many benefits. Discover more in this episode.Support the show

Still Waters (Psalm 23)The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in the right path for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”I've been hearing this song called Still Waters (Psalm 23) by Leanna Crawford on KLOVE Radio a lot these past few days. Before leaving for Prayer Group, I saw that the leader was using the song Psalm 23, although it was a different version of it, as one of the songs for the meeting. Yesterday afternoon, I got this deep feeling that that's what I was supposed to talk to you about it because there's a lot of anxiety and worry going around these days. And I just talked to someone who lost her husband, and she said she's paranoid these days. She's worried about all the financial aspects of your husband dying. She's worried about her future. She is worried about a lot of things.And I know she's not the only one. I know that we all have fear and worry over different kinds of things in our lives. I was really struck by the beginning part of the Still Waters song when it said, “Great Aunt Maurine said at a hundred and three, write scripture on your heart for when you need it.And it also really struck me when she said, “Cause anxiety hates Psalm 23. So just say it to yourself 'til you believe it.” And I just thought, isn't God so good? Isn't it amazing how he gives us exactly what we need found right there in the scriptures? I have to be honest, I don't know a lot about the Psalms. I know Robert from our morning prayer group always asks people what their favorite Psalm is because he's memorized a bunch of them. And I think what a beautiful thing.And also, I have no idea what my favorite Psalm is. And also, I didn't know that some of the Psalms have a specific purpose. I knew there were Psalms of praise and Psalms of lamentation. But I didn't know that there were Psalms that anxiety hated. And I didn't know that there were Psalms of protection like Psalm 91. And so I wanted to talk a little bit about Psalm 23 today because I think it's one that we've heard often. And yet, I don't know if we really know how powerful it is. I know I didn't know how powerful it was. And honestly, I didn't even really understand what it meant.I never found it super powerful when I would read it, or even when I would hear it. “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.” I didn't know what that meant. And I don't know if I still know completely what it means. But what the Lord pointed out to me when I was listening to the song today was he leads me to still waters. Even in the storm, there's still water. Even in the valleys, when you're at your lowest, he can lead you through that valley right next to still waters. To me, this verse is telling us that no matter what we're going through, if we let the Lord lead us, he'll lead us by still waters. He won't lead us into the eye of the storm.He won't lead us by chaos and confusion. If our eyes are fixed on him, and if we follow his path through the storm, there will be still waters that we can follow. And don't we all need some still waters in the craziness of the storm? Also, what stuck out to me today was when it said, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.I think we all want for things. I've heard from people in my prayer group, and from my parents, as we get older, we want for less. But I think there are all things we want, even if those things are peace, health, safe passage, or maybe it is material things. Whatever it is, we all want for things.And yet this is saying, the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want. We can rely on him to give us all that we need, and all that we want. The Lord knows the desires of our hearts. He knows what it is we want. And he not only cares about the things that we need, but he cares about the things that we want too. He cares about the little requests, just as much as he cares about the big requests.I know sometimes we don't want to feel greedy, and we don't want to ask God for the little things, because we love him, and we know that he's already given us so much. So why should we ask for more? And yet the Lord tells us in our prayer group, in the words of prophecy, over and over again, “I have so much more for you, but you're not asking.” So ask the Lord, we shall not want, he will give us what it is we need, he will give us what it is we want.I feel like the Lord is saying there is no “too much.” Just ask. It can't hurt to ask. And that he wants to give us so much more. And we're not asking. And so I just want to invite you all to invite the Lord in, to ask for the big things, to ask for the little things. And to trust that when you ask, the Lord answers. Trust that the Lord will lead you to still waters. If you're especially worried about something right now, hand it over to the Lord and ask him to show you the still waters in the situation.Everything that's written in the Bible is true. And so when it says the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, he leads me to still waters. That's not saying he led the Israelites to still waters, but you, well, you're on your own. He leads us all to still waters. So if you're struggling for still waters right now, if you're struggling to find the peace in the situation you're in, if you've been in this situation for a long time and you're thinking, there are no still waters. You can see to the horizon, and there are no still waters. Then, I just invite you to look beyond the horizon and to know that God isn't bound by the horizon. He could take a storm and calm it in a second to have still waters.He doesn't have to find different waters that are still. He can still the storm just as Jesus did when he was in that boat. Someone said at prayer group today that the Lord was telling her that somebody had an anxious heart or an anxious spirit, and He wanted them to hand it over to Him.And so I encourage you, if that's you, if you are anxious about something, if you're worried about something, if you're worried about money, if you're worried about family issues, if you're worried about family members who are sick, I invite you to hand that over to the Lord. I invite you to read Psalm 23 over and over again, or to listen to the song on repeat until you have it flowing through your mind and until it brings you peace. Because I believe what the songwriter said when she said, “Anxiety hates Psalm 23.”I don't think it was just a rhyme. I think it was the truth. Anytime we can have scripture to rely on, it's a good thing. Anytime anxiety comes up, and we can stop our thought pattern in our tracks and recite a Psalm, recite a song that reminds us that God is stronger than that thought, then I know that we'll see our anxiety lessen each time we do this.I know when we invite God in, he comes in. He doesn't saunter in. He doesn't meander in. When we call on the Lord, he comes running. He sends his angels flying at the speed of light to be by our side. And the more we can learn his scripture, the more we can memorize it and recall it at a moment's notice. Man, that makes the devil worried. When we have a firm grasp on scripture, the devil knows he can't trick us. The devil knows he can't use that scripture against us like he tried to do with Jesus. Another thing the song says is to say it to yourself until you believe it. And I think that can be one thing we often overlook. We read these scriptures, and we might believe them on a surface level, but do we believe them in the depths of our hearts? Do we truly believe them? And do we believe them to be true for us? Sometimes, it's easy to believe that something can be true for someone else, and yet we struggle to believe that it's true for us.We believe that God forgives other people's sins, but we hold on to ours. We believe that God loves all of his children, but we don't believe he loves us or we struggle to believe he loves us. So when I'm saying learn these scripture verses, I don't mean read them once and kind of know what they say.I mean, live in the scripture verses. Pick a verse or two and say it, memorize it, believe it, believe it to be true with your whole being, and then move on to a different scripture verse. I don't think we have to have the whole Bible memorized, but if you're struggling in an area like love, anxiety, worry, or whatever it is you're struggling with, find scripture verses that address that area and read them. If one touches your heart, if one stands out to you, if you read a scripture verse and it gives you strength, write it down, memorize it, and then when you're feeling those feelings, recall that scripture verse. This is why I love Christian music so much, because I just feel it in my soul.I'm not really one who feels the Holy Spirit in a physical way often. A lot of people will say, oh, I could feel the Holy Spirit so strong in this room right now. I can't. I usually don't feel that. I don't feel what they're saying. But when I listen to Christian music, I feel it with my whole soul, and it speaks right to my heart.If there are songs that speak to what you're going through, I say the same thing that I said about scripture. Listen to it on repeat over and over again. Memorize it so that when you're in a tough spot, you can recall it. These songs remind us how much Jesus loves us, and how much God's there for us. Oftentimes, they have scripture verses built right into the song, like Psalm 23, Still Waters. This is why I love the music so much.If you're struggling right now, I invite you to listen to some Christian music. I invite you to Google some scripture verses that have to do with whatever it is you're going through. I guarantee you if you put in scripture verses for anxiety, worry, financial issues, marital trouble, parenting, whatever it is, scripture verses will come up. And I invite you to read them, to go over them, and to find ones that speak to you, that strengthen and encourage you. And I invite you to recall these when you are struggling.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we love you. We thank you for always being there for us. We thank you for being our shepherd and leading us to green pastures. We thank you for all the time you have led us to still waters throughout our lives. You are the best Lord and we love you tons!!Thank you all for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. The theme for mentoring in January is Identity.

STILL WATERS - 2

Established In The Faith · The Still Waters Of Restoration Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV) 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Send us a textThere's a phrase I often use in my prayers for others. I pray that God will go before them, behind them, and that His hand of blessing will be on their heads. Little did I know that Leanna Crawford's song "Still Waters (Psalm 23)" would guide me to a place that beautifully depicts our Father's conduct. Nor did I know how refreshing God‘s words would be during turbulent times.Writing Scripture on your heart for when you need it is good advice. And Psalm 23 is the perfect place to start.In this episode, I discuss the following:Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture – this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Internalizing ScriptureMeditation RepetitionImaginationStart with GodConsult an outside resourceEpisode GuideInternalizing scripture, then repeating it out loudKeith Ferrin's Bible Talk interview with Mike Santoro - YouTube VideoMike's Bible memory card website - https://bsbversememorycards.carrd.co/Committing the words of Psalm 23 to memoryRehearsing the words of Psalm 23 to calm my spiritGod speaking His words back to me regarding my situationThe historical context of some of the phrases in Psalm 23 Being led by the Good Shepherd - John 10:27 - Episode #479making it our goal to know the Word, not just the wordsBeing hemmed in by the Father in Psalm 139:5Using the title of my novel, A Seat at the Table, to inspire a study of tables in ScriptureKenneth Bailey's commentary, The Good Shepherd: A Thousand Year Journey from Psalm 23 to the New Testament - Amazon paid linkAdditional ResourcesLyrics - New Release Today LinkThe story behind the song "Still Waters" by Leanna Crawford - New Release Today Article by Kevin DavisThree-part video series on "Bible Memorization for Normal People" by Keith Ferrin - Video #1, Video #2, Video #3Learn more about my favorite Bible Study Software with a 30-day free trial and links to my all-time favorite Bible resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead Psalm 23 and then take the challenge to internalize the words.

Today we have the HONOR of having my new friend Leanna Crawford on the pod! I am personally geeking because her songs (like How Can You Not See God and Still Waters) have ministered to me for SO LONG. In this episode we talk all things: How God can HANDLE your depressive, anxious, mad, angry, and fearful thoughts Why it's so important to have high standards for who you let speak over you The promise our personal God to carry out what He has called us to (even when we want to quit) I pray this blesses you friend!

Send us a textRecently, Britain experienced a blocking high pressure system, leading to an extended period of ‘anticyclonic gloom.' Such are the conditions in which myths are created and as Blodeuwedd and Lleu indicate might still be created. Journal entry:15th November, FridayEarly light. Thick mist Licked with salmon On the eastern edge. Frost glitters Along the cabin roof And rimes hoary On the solar panels.Rooks pour off The music stave Of telegraph wires Whirling around the one oak.The mist erupts With black wings And ragged song And such mysterious Determined intent That there is something In me that flies Off with them.Episode Information:In this episode I refer the story of Blodeuwedd and Lleu from the Mabinogion. I also refer to Gwilym Morus-Baird's reading of it. The female tawny owl was recorded in the field by Sean Townsend (Freesound 2013).With special thanks to our lock-wheelersfor supporting this podcast.Lois RaphaelSami WalburyTania YorgeyAndrea HansenChris HindsDavid Dirom Chris and Alan on NB Land of Green Ginger Captain Arlo Rebecca Russell Allison on the narrowboat Mukka Derek and Pauline Watts Anna V.
