PRAYING THE PSALMS – LEARNING TO SPEAK – JOE SHANNON – JULY 12TH, 2026

Psalm 1 opens the book of Psalms with a picture of two ways of being human — one flourishing like a tree planted by streams of water, one blowing away like chaff in the wind. In this opening message of our Praying the Psalms series, we look at what shapes us in the quiet, how we stay rooted, and why learning to pray the Psalms is like learning a language — one that lets us answer back to what God has already spoken to us.
