In this episode of Know Grow Go, we talk about Psalm 61, God as our refuge, and what it means to cry out to the rock that is higher than us. Naturally, that leads to strong towers, shelter language, Masada, Obi-Wan having the high ground, and a few Rams predictions we may or may not regret.

We also answer a listener question about self-defense, military action, murder, just war, and how Christians should think about the weight of taking human life.

Topics include:

Psalm 61 and God as refuge Strong towers, high ground, and shelter language Star Wars and the “high ground” Self-defense and the sixth commandment The difference between killing and murder Military action and just war The grief and weight of taking human life

Key takeaway: Human life is profoundly valuable, which is why Scripture treats murder, justice, self-defense, and war with moral seriousness and deep weight.

We also discuss Psalm 1, summer camp, cultural discernment, progressive Christianity, and how Christians should think about denominations, non-denominational churches, and the difference between faithful theological distinctives and unbiblical compromise. Topics include: Why Christians need Psalms of lament Finding faith in the dark Psalm 1 and being rooted in God’s Word Discernment in a culture of false hope Progressive Christianity and distorted views of Jesus What denominations are and why they exist What kind of church we’d attend if non-denominational churches didn’t exist Key takeaway: God gives His people language for suffering and wisdom for discernment so that we would stay rooted in Him instead of being shaped by the false promises of the world.
