About this episode

Pastor Jo Ellen explores the concept of a safe space and how to cultivate trust in God through the lens of David's experiences.

Welcome to our Sunday Sermon podcast! In this sermon, Pastor Jo Ellen asks, "Where is your safe space?" Is it a physical space, a person, or a memory? How does David’s honesty in pouring out his complaint before God reflect his relationship with God? In what ways can we relate to David’s feelings of loneliness and being “overwhelmed” in our own lives? How can we cultivate the same level of trust in God that David demonstrates? If you were to write your own prayer in the style of Psalm 142, what would you say? Write your prayer this week and share it aloud with God.
