The Frank Friar - Episode 291: Psalm 23
Monday Oct 12, 2020
Monday Oct 12, 2020
Psalm 23 is one I believe we are all familiar with, whether in word and/or images. God is our Shepherd, but when we come too familiar with something, I believe we should slow down and wrestle with it to journey deeper into what it is we hold close to us.
