Listen "Beth"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Arise and Abide, Curtis and Sally delve into Psalm 119:9–16, exploring the theme of purity through obedience to God's word. Reflecting on the psalmist's yearning for closeness with the Lord, they discuss the metaphor of God's word as a treasure—something invaluable to cherish and guard in our hearts. Curtis shares insights inspired by Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire, linking human desires to the deeper spiritual longing for God. Sally emphasizes the transformative power of meditating on scripture and delighting in God's decrees, which leads to a life of abundance and purpose. Together, they remind us that true purity and fulfillment are gifts from God, realized through surrender and relationship rather than performance or rule-following. This heartfelt conversation invites listeners to embrace the treasure of God's word and find joy in living His truth.
