A Simple Song for a Complex Life | |
Guest Speaker: Josh Squires
Scripture Focus: Psalm 56
| |
|
Life this side of The Fall is tough. What do we do when we have seasons of fear, hurt, anger, and sadness? This small psalm scratched out with haste by a king in crisis helps us to understand how to handle the difficulties of the believing life. And ultimately, where to find our joy.
About our guest speaker: Josh Squires is the Minister of Counseling for First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC where he has served for nearly a decade. He holds degrees in Psychology (B.S.), Marriage and Family Therapy and Counseling (M.A.), Divinity (M.Div.), and is currently working on a PhD in Biblical Counseling. Josh is a regular contributor for John Piper’s Desiring God as well as The Gospel Coalition. He and his wife Melanie have been married for more than 20 years and they have 5 children.
