Over the past two years, Courtney and Hunter have been working on a verse-by-verse Bible study on the book of Titus entitled Titus: Displaying the Gospel of Grace. Many of us are familiar with the classic Titus 2 passage on discipling, but through this entire series, we hope to highlight the beauty of intergenerational relationships in the church and what it actually looks like to display the gospel through those relationships. In this episode, they're talking about what discipleship is—whether formal or informal—what discipleship has looked like in their lives personally, and what Scripture says should be at the heart of it all.

Courtney Doctor received an MDiv from Covenant Theological Seminary and currently serves as the Director of Women’s Initiatives for The Gospel Coalition.

 “Is God really good?” Have you ever found yourself asking this question? When the diagnosis comes back, when everything crashes down, when the other shoe drops… In the midst of suffering, if you listen to your feelings and to the world, the answer to that question is “No.” But, as Jill reminded us in this week’s episode, “if you open the Word, you will see the One that God loved most—himself—he allowed to live a life of suffering and to die a death of the ultimate untouchable suffering for us to live with him in eternity forever.”

Sister, in your difficulty remember what is true: God is good and he can only do good (Psalm 119:68). You can trust him.

In this last episode of our Psalms series, we’re chatting with Caroline Cobb about God’s big story that we see in Psalms. Caroline is passionate about rehearsing and responding to God’s story as we go about our everyday lives, and you will hear her heart clearly throughout this episode. We pray this episode—and the whole Psalms series!—prompts you to abide deeply with the Lord and to trust his character and his heart as revealed in Scripture. It has been a gift to come to know and love God more as we study God in Psalms this summer.

2. What are some ways you could incorporate praise into the everyday moments of your days? Brushing your teeth to a song of praise? Praising God for his character when you get to a red light? Singing a simple doxology as you pray over your dinner?
3. Think about a specific circumstance, relationship, decision, or grief that is causing you suffering or distress. Now spend a minute thinking about your future eternal reality—the reality that if you are in Christ, you WILL be with him forever, where there will be no more crying, no more pain, no more death. How does thinking about that reality change the lens through which you see your current circumstance?
4. How might meditating on God’s character as revealed in his Word lead you to praise? If you’re struggling with where to start, here are a few passages that point to God's glory: John 1, Hebrews 1, Isaiah 6, Revelation 21.

In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the thanksgiving psalms, which are those psalms that express gratitude to God for who he is or what he has done. These psalms remind us of God’s character, give us language for our praise, and help us to give thanks to God, even if our current season is not what we hoped. We pray this episode encourages you to look to God in faith and to give thanks to God for who he is, how he has saved you, and what he has accomplished in Christ!

In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the liturgical psalms, which are the psalms that lend themselves most easily to public worship in a community gathering. These psalms are full of joy, hope, and proclamations of who God is, as his people call to each other: Remember and rejoice! We pray that this episode reminds you of the truth of God’s character and that it compels you to join hands with your brothers and sisters in the body of Christ as you offer worship and praise to the Lord together.

In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the corporate lament psalms, which are those psalms where the writer is grieving on behalf of a people or nation, or writing songs that a community could use to grieve together. These psalms help us see how we can walk through difficult things alongside others, lean into the body of Christ in the midst of tragedy or trial, and know God more, even in that place. By his grace, God meets us deeply in our suffering, and as we walk through both the joys and the brokenness of this life we can even come to know him more—and we can do this together.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Have you ever walked through suffering alongside someone else or invited someone into your own grief? How did it feel different from grieving alone?
2. Is there someone in your local church community who you know is suffering and needs someone to walk alongside them? Or if you are the one suffering, is there someone you could invite to help you bear your grief in a godly way?
3. What aspect of God’s character is most comforting to you when you are suffering? Is it his nearness? His goodness? His kindness? His steadfast love? 
4. How does meditating on God’s faithfulness, even in the midst of difficulty, bring you hope?

Imprecatory/Judgment Psalms: 5, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 88, 137, 139, 140

In this week’s episode, we’re talking through the specialized lament psalms, which include penitential psalms, or psalms that express the writer’s remorse or guilt over sin, as well as several psalms of judgment, which show us God’s heart for justice. These are weighty psalms, but you’ll see that even here—in the midst of the shame and guilt and fear—there is hope to be found. These psalms show us the gracious heart of God, who calls out to us in our wretchedness and offers us redemption and relationship.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. In the midst of your struggle with sin, is it more natural for you to turn away from God than to turn to him? Why do you think that is? 
2. How might understanding God’s tender heart toward you—even in your sin—lead you to worship today? How might that help you fight your sin?
3. How does thinking about God pulling you out of the pit of sin, guilt, and shame? How does meditating on what he’s done for you in Christ change the way you turn from your sin and fight for holiness?
4. How does your view of God change when you think about his tender heart toward you, even in the depths of your sin?

In this week’s podcast episode, we’re looking at messianic psalms, which are those that contain references or prophecies that point to our long-awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ. These psalms shape our understanding of who Jesus is! We pray this episode prompts you to see more of Jesus in Scripture, and that it compels you to trust in the gospel and love Jesus more deeply.

In this week’s podcast episode, we’re chatting with Dane Ortlund about the Psalms. In our conversation, Dane gives some incredibly helpful background, overview, and context that will help you as you dive into the book of the Psalms. He also offers a wealth of encouragement to those who are walking through what the psalmist calls “the pit.” He reminds us of God’s heart to us in the midst of our pain, our sin, and our suffering, and he lifts our eyes to see Christ in this beautiful book of the Bible.

4. In what ways do you feel the tension between your own brokenness and the brokenness of our world and the hope that you experience in the gospel?

Journeywomen comes alongside women to move them to know and love God and his Word, to find hope in the gospel, and to invest deeply in their local churches as they go out on mission for the glory of God.

In the face of intense shame heaped upon her by others throughout her life, Wen Wei Chieh was never ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This woman of the faith endured poverty, loss, and rejection at every turn, but she stood firm on the Word of God, knowing the Lord would remain faithful to her. She endured a traumatic childhood, the loss of countless family members, an unfaithful husband, and imprisonment in Communist China—most of the circumstances in her life could have filled her with shame, but she ultimately knew she had nothing to be ashamed of as a child of God.

Irene Sun was born in Malaysia and is the author of the picture books Taste and See: All About God’s Goodness and God Counts: Numbers in His Word and His World. She studied liturgy and literature at Yale University (MAR) and Old Testament and Semitic languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (ThM). She now teaches her four boys at home with her preacher husband, Hans. They belong to Pittsburgh Chinese Church.

In this week’s episode, we are talking with Catherine Parks about two extraordinary women who you might not be very familiar with: Esther Ahn Kim and Charlotte Forten Grimke.

And it was this daily obedience that God used to give them both the opportunity and the strength to stand for justice and serve other people faithfully.”
