Episode 72 - The Right Focus - Psalm 31:9-18

Episode 73 - The Goodness Of God - Psalm 31:19-24

What does it really mean when we say “God is good”? In this episode, we go beyond the phrase to uncover the truth behind it—God isn’t good because of what He does for us, but because He is the very source and standard of goodness itself. Looking through the life and testimony of King David in Psalm 31, we explore how a deep, personal knowledge of God transforms our understanding of His goodness—especially in seasons of hardship, betrayal, and uncertainty. David’s story reveals that God’s goodness isn’t limited to temporary deliverance but is ultimately rooted in His eternal promises, His unchanging nature, and His power to save and preserve the soul. This episode challenges you to shift your focus away from circumstances and onto the character of God—learning to fear Him, trust Him, and find true hope in His presence. Because when you truly know God, you don’t just say He’s good… you understand why. 🎙️ Tune in to be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that God’s goodness is far greater—and far more eternal—than we often realize.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com [http://www.pastorbside.com/]   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf]   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336]   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E]   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0]   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 [https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188] ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

Episode 72 - The Right Focus - Psalm 31:9-18

Why is it so hard to truly trust the LORD—even when we know we should? In this episode, we unpack the deeper, ongoing struggle between our flesh and faith, and why walking by sight often feels more natural than walking by faith. Looking at the powerful testimony of King David in Psalm 31, we explore how real trust in God isn’t rooted in comfort, circumstances, or people—but in God’s unchanging character. This episode challenges the way we approach God: Are we trusting Him for who He is, or for what we hope He’ll do? Through David’s example, we’re reminded that true faith is anchored in the holiness, power, and mercy of God—not in the people or resources around us. If you’ve ever struggled to trust God in the middle of hardship, this conversation will help re-center your focus on the One who holds everything—and you—in His hands.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com [http://www.pastorbside.com]   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf]   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336]   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E]   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0]   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 [https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188] ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

Episode 71 - How Do We Know We Trust The LORD - Psalm 31:6-8

Trusting the LORD is easy to say—but much harder to live out. In this episode, we examine how our hearts often claim to trust God while secretly relying on people, resources, or circumstances for security. Looking at the powerful testimony of King David in Psalms 31:6–8, we see how real trust in the LORD is forged through hardship. David’s life shows that when everything else fails, God’s mercy, wisdom, and faithfulness are more than enough. Join us as we explore what it truly means to place our confidence in the LORD alone as we answer the question, “How Do We Know We Trust The LORD?”   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com [http://www.pastorbside.com/]   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf]   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336]   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E]   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0]   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 [https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188] ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

Episode 70 - Be Of Good Courage - Psalm 31:1-5

People can be fickle—even believers. One moment we praise God, the next we fail one another. In this episode, we explore how the story of David and the people of Keilah shows the unpredictable nature of humanity and the unchanging faithfulness of God. Through Psalm 31, we understand why David trusted in the LORD alone and how his experience points ahead to Jesus, who was also betrayed by those He came to save. While people often fall short, God remains our true refuge, strength, and the only One worthy of our complete trust.   For more information or Bible teaching resources from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com [http://www.pastorbside.com]   To support the work of the ministry from Pastor b.Side, visit www.pastorbside.com/donate   You can also listen to Pastor b.Side’s other podcast, which explores the attributes of God through His Old Testament names, called, “Getting To Know God.” Here are the direct links to this podcast:   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Ec0A2fIRgbSeODzzuCMrf]   Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-to-know-god/id1839302336]   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFdgJTRi_Ryc5OXQ66BjB3HOHE8Uc_f3E]   Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0 [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/cc09ada9-3b6a-4517-bb44-4da9c1cd46e0]   iHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188 [https://iheart.com/podcast/293911188] ------------------- Make sure to follow Pastor b.Side to stay updated on new Bible studies, study materials, and encouraging messages:   TikTok: @theofficialpastorbside Facebook: @theofficialpastorbside Instagram: @pastorbside YouTube: @pastorbside

The power of God’s Word is the same power that created the universe—and it’s the same power revealed in the Gospel to transform lives. In this episode, we explore the dramatic testimony of Psalm 30:11–12, where King David describes how God’s mercy completely changed his heart after a season of judgment and repentance.
