Is your soul dying to be fed, nurtured, and comforted? Are you facing fears, struggles or even triumphs? Is the news making you mad? Are you white-knuckling your way through the grind of every day? Consider listening to this podcast on the Psalms. Whether you’ve never read the Bible or you have every page memorized (that would be amazing!!), or like many of us, you are somewhere in between, this episode is for you. From the clinical applications of how reading the Psalms heals us, to some practical ways to dive deeper into its pages, our guest is gifted in capturing the heart of God and the Psalmists. Ignite your reading of the word today with this healthy dose of living hope.

 

This episode features author Laura L. Smith, who recently released Restore My Soul: The Power and Promise of 30 Psalms. This book is a powerful resource that comes out of Laura’s own weary seasons. Her passion for the book of Psalms has grown out of her love for God’s word, music, and helping others find balm for their souls. Terra enjoyed learning about the practical ways Laura uses the various Psalms to pray over her kids or to channel her unwanted emotions. Whether you are a weary parent, a leader, or someone who is just curious about how the Bible can relate to your own life, listen to this episode.

 

Laura Smith is a popular speaker and best-selling author who lives in the college town of Oxford, Ohio, with her husband and four kids. Her books have included nonfiction books for adults, pre-teens and kids, as well as the popular Status Updates fiction series for young adults. Her previous book, How Sweet the Sound: The Power and Promise of 30 Beloved Hymns, has sold more than 110,000 copies.
