Bible Lab S2 Ep.23 Worshipping Through the Raw Human Experience (Psalm 29-51)

Week 2 of the Psalms

Going into some episodes on the Psalms, one of the things we hope to do each week is have each host share some insight on a Psalm that resonated with them in the reading plan. This week, join hosts Ryan and Joel as we talk through some of our favorite Psalms, Psalm 37 and Psalm 47. 

Today we cover the topics of worship, the raw human experience, as well as some literary details as we go through the Five Books that make up the part of the Bible we know as the Psalms.
