    10. Who May Dwell on the Holy Mountain? (Psalm 15 Explained)

    2026-05-15 | 13 min.
    What actually creates a peaceful life?

    In this teaching on Psalm 15, John Ortberg explores the ancient biblical vision of an “unshakable” life — a life rooted in goodness, grace, truth, and the presence of God.

    Psalm 15 asks:
    “Who may dwell on your holy mountain?”

    The answer turns out to be both beautiful and deeply challenging.

    Along the way, John reflects on:

    Why peace is more than a feeling
    The connection between character and stability
    Gossip, envy, greed, ego, and emotional formation
    Positive psychology and virtue
    What kind of people we become through daily choices
    Why “the good life is with God”

    This episode is practical, thoughtful, convicting, and hopeful all at once.

    Scriptures:

    Psalm 15
    Matthew 6:33
    Luke 23:39–43

    9. Psalm 16 and the Secret of a Steady Heart

    2026-05-14 | 13 min.
    What’s the one thing that would make today a good day?
    Psalm 16 says it’s simpler—and deeper—than you think.

    In this teaching, John Ortberg walks through Psalm 16 and introduces a powerful idea: your life-scape—the inner world where your thoughts, desires, and attention live.

    Most of us drift through our days reacting to whatever comes. But Psalm 16 invites us to something different: “I have set the Lord always before me.”

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    - What shapes your inner life (your “life-scape”)
    - Why chasing “other gods” leads to restlessness
    - How to center your day around one transforming focus
    - What it means to live with a steady, unshaken heart

    This is a practical invitation to live today with clarity, presence, and purpose.

    8. A Simple Way to Pray (Psalm 57)

    2026-05-13 | 13 min.
    Ever feel stuck in your thoughts
 and don’t know how to pray?

    Here’s a simple, practical method that actually works.

    In this teaching, John Ortberg walks through a powerful and practical way to pray your emotions using Psalm 57.

    Adapted from psychological insights and grounded in Scripture, this ABCD prayer method helps you move from anxiety and rumination to clarity, trust, and peace.

    You’ll learn how to:
    - Identify what’s actually triggering you
    - Name the beliefs driving your emotions
    - Understand why your feelings feel so strong
    - Reframe your thoughts with truth
    - Move into a place of steadiness and action

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to talk to God honestly—this gives you a clear path forward.

    📚 Today's Resources:
    Martin Seligman - referenced for the ABC model/framework John adapted into prayer and the Psalms
    Mark Twain - quote: “I have lived through terrible sufferings, horrible events, some of which actually happened.”

    7. A Dangerous Prayer That Can Set You Free

    2026-05-12 | 16 min.
    What do you do with anger you can’t let go of?
    What if the Bible actually teaches you how to pray it?

    In Part 3 of this conversation, John Ortberg and Rankin Wilbourne tackle one of the most difficult emotions we face: anger.

    Psalm 109 is one of the most shocking passages in Scripture—full of raw, unfiltered anger. So why is it in the Bible?

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    - Why denying anger isn’t spiritual maturity
    - How the Psalms give you permission to be honest with God
    - What it looks like to pray your anger instead of acting on it
    - How anger can actually be transformed into something healing
    - This is Part 3 of a 3-part convo on learning to pray your emotions.

    6. Why We Don’t Know How to Lament

    2026-05-11 | 14 min.
    What if the pain you’re avoiding is actually the path to healing?
    And what if God already gave you the words for it?

    In Part 2 of this conversation, John Ortberg and Rankin Wilbourne explore one of the most overlooked practices in the Christian life: lament.

    If the Psalms are the prayer book of God’s people, why are so many of them
 sad? And why do we avoid praying that way?

    You’ll discover:
    - Why lament is essential (not optional) in spiritual life
    - How lament becomes a bridge between pain and trust
    - Why avoiding pain actually deepens it
    - A practical way to pray honestly without getting stuck in despair

    This is Part 2 of a 3-part conversation on learning to pray your emotions.
