Gentle Psalm Journey

Sanctuary Home

This is a sanctuary of sacred breath and resurrection soil.
A place to lay down what’s heavy,
to let your soul breathe again,
and to tend mustard seeds
not in performance — but in presence.

This is The Gentle Rise —
a transition from trauma into restoration,
from captivity into clarity,
from surviving into being God-raised.

The table is still here.
The soil is still holy.
And Jesus is still the one holding it all together.

There’s no need to rush.
No need to explain.
You are welcome — just as you are.
You are already home.

Finding Still Waters for Your Soul | Gentle Psalm Journey: Psalm 1 (NLT)

By

Gentle Psalm Journey | Psalm 1 (NLT) + Trauma-Informed Reflection 

Begin the Gentle Psalm Journey with Psalm 1 (NLT) + trauma-informed reflection — a safe space for healing, hope, and deep roots in God’s love.

In this first Gentle Psalm Journey episode, we hear Psalm 1 in the New Living Translation (NLT) and then in a gentle, trauma-informed paraphrase. This series offers a safe space for survivors of religious trauma, those hurt by the church, and anyone seeking a kinder, quieter way to encounter God’s Word. Psalm 1 invites us to see ourselves as trees planted by streams of living water — rooted, nourished, and flourishing in due season.
