Can you really live without lack?
In this reflection on Psalm 23, John Ortberg draws from Life Without Lack to explore one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture.
What does it mean to say, "The Lord is my shepherd"? What if "I shall not want" is not a promise that life will be easy, but an invitation to stop being driven by fear, scarcity, and unsatisfied desire?
This episode explores:
- Psalm 23 and the Kingdom of God
- Dallas Willard's vision of life without lack
- Freedom from fear and anxiety
- God's presence as the center of the spiritual life
- Green pastures, still waters, and restored souls
- Goodness and mercy following us every day
Featuring reflections from:
- Dallas Willard
- Charles Spurgeon
- C.S. Lewis
- Walter Brueggemann
Scriptures:
- Psalm 23
- Matthew 6:33
- John 4:14
- Matthew 5:44
