The Followed By Mercy PodcastReal Grace, Honest HopeYou might notice a new name and a fresh look, but the heart behind this podcast is the same. After years as the World Evangelism Podcast, I sensed God leading me to a deeper, more personal path centered on His relentless mercy and the kind of honest hope that can reach into every hurting place. That’s why this show is now called Followed By Mercy Podcast. The format may shift, and the tone may be a bit more personal, but my mission hasn’t changed:

Send us a text Freedom from Stinking Thinking Most of us wrestle with negative thoughts that seem to set up camp in our minds. You know those old memories, regrets, worries, and all the ways we convince ourselves that things will never change. Sometimes, it feels like no matter what we do, our thoughts run the show and leave us feeling worn out and small. King David understood this struggle better than most. Imagine being betrayed by your own son, hunted by people who once cheered you on, and...

If you’ve ever felt trapped by negative thoughts, past failures, or overwhelming circumstances, this episode is for you. We’ll explore ho...

Send us a text Have you ever felt so ashamed you couldn’t look anyone in the eye? Have you ever been so beaten down or so lost that you wondered if God even noticed you anymore? I want to talk to you about something most of us overlook—six words from Psalm 23:5: “Thou anointest my head with oil.” There’s healing and hope packed into that little phrase for anyone who’s ever felt worthless, wounded, or forgotten. David wasn’t writing from a palace when he put those words down. He was hiding in ...

Send us a text Let's get honest—your mind is never off the clock. Most research says you'll process more than 6,000 thoughts today. The hard truth? About three out of every four will pull you in the wrong direction. That's over 4,000 daily thoughts whispering, "You're not enough," "You'll never change," or "God couldn't possibly use someone like you." It's "stinking thinking," not just harmless background noise. It's a relentless undercurrent, chipping away your peace, purpose, and connectio...

Send us a text Green Pastures in a Barren Land A raw and honest look at Psalm 23:2 — “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.” What do green pastures mean when your whole world is falling apart? David didn’t write Psalm 23 from a cozy, peaceful palace. He likely penned these words while on the run—betrayed, hunted, and heartbroken. His own son was leading a rebellion against him. And in the middle of that heartbreak, David says something that stops us in our tracks: “He maketh me to lie d...

Send us a text Most people know Psalm 23 by heart, but few understand the depth behind the words, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” These aren’t just comforting lines from a funeral service or a wall plaque. They are a declaration of covenant, a bold, soul-settling statement about who God is and how He loves us. In this episode, we go beyond the surface of Psalm 23 to explore the kind of love that makes a crippled man dine like royalty and turns a fallen king into a worshipper full...

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to trust God as our Shepherd in a world filled with anxiety, scarcity, and fear. David didn't write these words from a place of comfort.

King David didn’t write Psalm 23 from a place of comfort. He wrote it while fleeing for his life—betrayed by his closest friend, hunted by his own son, shamed in public, and exiled from the very kingdom he once ruled. And yet, in the middle of that darkness, he declared: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” That wasn’t dreaming. The Hebrew behi...

Send us a text "The Lord is my shepherd." We've heard those words so many times that we miss the meaning. But slow down for a second. Don't rush past them. Let them sink in. The Lord is. Not was. Not might be someday. Not when I get my act together. He is right now. In the middle of the confusion, the waiting, the pain, the pressure. He is present. Fully aware. Actively shepherding.

Not was, not will be—is. Right now. At this moment. In the chaos, in the quiet, in the mess, and the unknown—He is present. Actively shepherding.

Send us a text “The Lord is my shepherd.” Five simple words. But they’re not just poetic—they’re personal. And they’re present tense. David didn’t say “was” or “will be.” He said, “is.” Picture him on the run, hiding in caves, surrounded by enemies. Still, he says it with confidence: the Lord is my Shepherd. Right now. Not someday. Not when things get better. Now. That word—is—says something huge about who God is. He’s not stuck in the past or waiting in the future. He’s “I AM.“ Always presen...

2025/06/17

Send us a text The Lord Is My Shepherd—And That Changes Everything When the psalmist says, "The Lord is my shepherd," he boldly states who God is: someone who's always been about relationship, not distance. From walking with Adam and Eve in Eden to pursuing them after their disobedience, God's actions always showed His desire for connection. Psalm 23 isn't just a meditation; it's an invitation to know the Shepherd for who He really is. When God introduces Himself in Scripture, He doesn't lead...
