Friend, the God who created galaxies is mindful of you. He sees you. He knows you. And He is crowning you today.How to Use This Episode:Find a quiet space where you can be intentional, focused, and fully present with the Holy Spirit. Turn off distractions.

236. Psalm 8 Teaching: Petite But Mighty
Have you ever stood before something vast—the ocean, the mountains, a sky full of stars—and felt both incredibly small and strangely significant at the same time?In this episode, we're exploring Psalm 8, one of the most beautiful paradoxes in all of Scripture. It's David's response to standing under the night sky, looking up at God's creation, and asking the question we've all asked: "What is man that You are mindful of him?"Here's the tension we're unpacking today: We ARE small in the grand scheme of the universe. But we matter—deeply, personally, intimately—because we matter to Him.In this teaching, you'll discover:The beautiful paradox of being both small and significant in God's eyesWhat it means to be made "a little lower than God" and crowned with glory and honorHow the simple praise of a child has the power to silence the enemyThe truth about dominion—what God has entrusted to your care and how to steward it wellWhy worship is the only appropriate response when we truly see who God is and who we are in HimIf you've ever felt overlooked, insignificant, or wondered if you really matter in the grand scheme of things, this episode is for you. Because the God who created galaxies still knows your name. The God who hung the stars is mindful of you.Next Episode Preview: Don't miss our Psalm 8 Encounter—a guided meditation experience where we'll drop into that secret place with God and let these truths move from your head to your heart.

235. Psalm 7 Encounter: The Truth of Who You Are
Sometimes the deepest healing happens not in the explaining, but in the encountering.After exploring the raw authenticity of David in Psalm 7, we now step into an intimate guided encounter with God, Our Truth Teller. This is where head knowledge moves to heart experience—where the truth of who God says you are replaces the lies spoken over you.In this guided encounter, you'll be invited to:Enter your secret place where you feel safest with GodAllow the Father to examine your heart with kindness (because His kindness leads us to repentance)Lay down false accusations, arrows of slander, and hurtful words at Jesus' feetExperience the Father as the Great Heart Surgeon, gently removing what has wounded youReceive the truth of your identity as He stitches your heart with words of lifeOffer praise to the One who loves you so much He went bankrupt in heaven for youJust as David moved from being slandered to becoming a singer, you too can walk through the process of healing and emerge worshiping the One who sees you fully in your kingdom identity.This encounter is for anyone who has been falsely accused, spoken about unkindly, or is carrying the weight of offensive words. God is not afraid of your messy—He's the greatest heart surgeon there is.How to Use This Episode:Find a quiet space where you can be intentional, focused, and fully present with the Holy Spirit. Have a journal nearby to capture what God reveals to you.Journal Prompts to help you dive deeper:1. The Heart ExaminationDavid asked God to search his heart, even in the midst of being falsely accused. What did Holy Spirit reveal to you as He examined your heart? Was there anything you needed to own up to or lay at His feet? How did it feel to do this without shame in His presence?2. The Truth ExchangeWhat words or accusations have been spoken over you that wounded your heart? Now, what did the Father speak over you as He stitched your heart back together? Write out both the lies you've believed and the truths He declared. Which voice will you choose to listen to moving forward?3. From Slandered to SingerLike David, you're invited to move from being wounded to becoming a worshiper. What does praise look like for you in this season? How can you offer God worship even while you're still healing? What would it look like to stay in your own lane while trusting God as the just Judge of your situation?Music by: Shimmer provided through SoundStripe.comConnect & ShareShare your encounter experiences with us at:https://www.wholisticheartspodcast.comhttps://instagram.com/wholisticheartspodcasthttps://facebook.com/kristenfieldschadwick

234. Psalm 7 Teaching: Being Falsely Accused and the Humble Response
Have you ever been falsely accused or had unkind words spoken about you? This Psalm displays how David took a false accusation, his name being dragged through the mud and examines how he responded. It may not be our first reaction. This isn't a gentle ballad; this is a psalm of intense feeling, set to aggressive music. Less aromatherapy, more rage room. And yet, what we find is a beautiful roadmap for navigating accusation, confrontation, and hurt relationships.In this episode, you'll discover:How Holy Spirit doesn't shy away from our messy, chaotic moments but hovers over them to create beautyThe power of "staying in your own lane" and examining your own heart firstWhat it means to move from being slandered to becoming a singerWhy owning your part matters, even when accusations are unwarrantedHow David's humility and honesty before God becomes his pathway to praiseAs Spurgeon beautifully says, "The slandered one is now a singer." Though life may knock us down for a season, we can stand again and give glory to God with adoring praise.If you're walking through a difficult season, messy conversations, or the sting of false accusations, this episode is for you. God is trustworthy to hold your heart in every scenario.Connect & ShareShare your encounter experiences with us at:https://www.wholisticheartspodcast.comhttps://instagram.com/wholisticheartspodcasthttps://facebook.com/kristenfieldschadwickStay tuned for our Psalm 7 Encounter episode coming next!
