297: The Lord is My Shepherd

When we make Jesus Lord of our lives, too often we don’t fully understand what that means. We sometimes take it to mean that God will not let anything really bad happen to us. Then when our child dies, it can be hard to trust Him or to see Jesus as the “good” shepherd.  In today’s episode, Laura looks at the familiar scripture of Psalm 23:1 in a way that brings greater understanding to these seemingly contradictory things.    Links Mentioned in this episode: Find out more about the cruise or retreat here.                      Birthdays: Jason Turner was born on May 20 and left us at age 36.
