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:

Success over Stinking Thinking 1

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...

Green Pastures in Chaos

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...

Our Shepherd Keeps Covenant

2025/06/25

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...

To Not Suffer Want, Trust the Shepherd

2025/06/24

Send us a text "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." These words from Psalm 23 aren't wishful thinking; they are a bold, faith-filled declaration made during a crisis. 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. He penned them during one of the darkest chapters of his life—betrayed by someone close, hunted by his own son, forced out of his home, a...

Send us a text When Peace Feels Impossible — Psalm 23 and the Shepherd Who Never Fails How do you find peace when your world is falling apart? 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 Have you ever wondered how the simple act of being present can transform someone's spiritual journey? On today's episode, we explore the profound distinction between "with-ness" and "witness" in discipleship, inspired by Mark 3:14. Jesus didn’t just send the apostles to preach; he chose them to be with him. We unpack how this principle of being genuinely present with those we mentor can create lasting spiritual growth and meaningful relationships. From hiking trips to heartfelt...

The LORD is my Shepherd, Pastor, Father

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. And then that little word: my. Not just the Shepherd or the world's Shepherd but My Shepherd. That word "...

Send us a text “The Lord is my shepherd.” What does that really mean? We’ve heard those words from Psalm 23 so often that they can sound like background noise. But slow down. Let it hit you. Is. 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. And then there’s “my.“ That little word changes everything. This isn’t just a line about God watching over people. This is about Him watching over you. Pers...

The LORD "IS"

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...

Who is the LORD, abundant in goodness and truth

2025/06/16

Send us a text At some point, you've probably asked yourself: who is God, really—beneath the layers of religious tradition, church talk, and cultural noise? This isn't just a theological question; it's a personal one. And in Exodus 34, God answers it Himself. When He speaks to Moses, He doesn't offer a lecture or a list of demands. He gives a self-portrait. And what does He highlight? That He is abundant in goodness and truth. That word abundant means overflowing. Packed to the brim. God isn'...

Send us a text What if everything you thought about God as Father has been shaped more by human pain than by who He really is? This Father’s Day, let’s break free from the tired religious stereotype of God as a distant, strict judge. Instead, we’ll explore the heart of our Heavenly Father—the One who loves deeper and wider than we can imagine. Maybe your view of God has been clouded by a harsh or absent earthly dad. Maybe you’ve heard that Jesus is kind and gentle, but God the Father is the s...

Beyond Your Failures

Send us a text Do you ever feel like your past owns you? Like your mistakes follow you everywhere and define who you are? This message will change that. When God the Father looks at you, He doesn’t see your failures. He sees His child, fully forgiven and deeply loved. Take Rahab, for example—the woman called a harlot in the Old Testament. Yet later, she’s in Jesus’ family line without mentioning her past. That shows us something amazing: God completely separates who we are from what we’ve don...

Who is the LORD Indulgent

2025/06/13

Send us a text What if the God you were taught to fear is far more patient than you ever imagined? A lot of us carry around this idea of God as someone with a short fuse—quick to judge, faster to punish. But when you look closely at scripture, that picture falls apart. God didn’t lead with power or wrath when he introduced himself to Moses. He said he’s “long-suffering.” In Hebrew, that phrase points to a “long nose”—a strange image unless you know what it means. When we’re angry, we breathe...

Send us a text Do you really know who your Shepherd is? Many of us grew up with a distorted picture of God—distant, disappointed, always watching for us to mess up. But what if that image isn't just off—it's completely wrong? Psalm 23 opens with a game-changer: "The Lord is my shepherd." That's not just a poetic line. It's a radical shift in perspective. David wasn't focused on himself, his enemies, or even the cave he was hiding in. He was focused on who God is. And that's the same invitatio...

Send us a text Mercy Is My Shepherd What if misunderstandings have shaped your entire view of God? The opening line of Psalm 23—“The Lord is my shepherd”—isn’t just comforting; it’s confrontational. It asks: Do you really know who this “Lord” is? David wrote those words while on the run—likely hiding from his own son Absalom, who wanted him dead. In that moment of fear and betrayal, David didn’t just believe in God—he knew Him. And not as a distant force but as someone deeply personal and tru...
