This is the Bible Book Club. We're in the book of Psalms. Welcome to the club.

This is season 19, the book of Psalms. If you just found us for the first time, know that we call this the Bible Book Club because the Bible

is the number one selling book of all time. It should be read and it is fascinating to discuss

with friends. We make it easy to do both. We read and discuss. You download and listen just wherever

life takes you. If you've been with us since the beginning, we are so thankful that you're here.

And the growing number of listeners committed to reading and discussing every single word with us

is an encouragement to us every week. All right, season 19 of the Bible Book Club will be unique

because this book is not like any other in the Bible. This book is actually a playlist of songs, and there is a song

for every emotion and situation known to man. And the creation of this book was just another

brilliant move on God's part, because everyone has a soundtrack running in their head. Songs find us when words fail. When we're

driving home after a frustrating day, when we're awestruck at the birth of a child, when we're

grieving a great tragedy, when we're nervous, afraid, celebrating, or just exhausted, you get the picture.

Most often, we don't get to choose the songs, our heart sings.

Our heart responds to life.

That's not a modern phenomenon.

The Apple or Spotify playlist that you choose is a modern phenomenon, but the playlist of your

heart is not.

It's ancient.

That's how humans have always been wired.

The book of Psalms is the original playlist, the playlist God selected for all humanity, the 150 songs that were created for all of us,

to provide peace when we are afraid, to express wonder when we're inspired, to worship when we're

amazed, to comfort when we grieve. More than anything, this playlist will give you the confidence to know
