Episode #48: A Deep Dive into Psalm 119:68 with Alicia Terry

The Refuge Podcast with Jennifer Elwood

This is a new first... A Deep Dive episode with a guest! (And it's my birthday to boot - what a gift.) When Alicia Terry reached out through our mutual friend/coach Melanie Chitwood, God led me to take shelter with her under Psalm 119:68, and I'm SO glad He did. We both studied, "You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees" (NIV) and what we found together was rich. We discussed:

• varying versions of this verse and a paraphrase Alicia wrote
• the structure of Psalm 119 (the longest chapter in the Bible)
• the words "good" and "decrees"
• the influence of Psalm 119 on Christians in history
• what we learned about God, ourselves, and what we want to do differently in light of these truths
• we also discussed her new book "I Am Who God Says I Am: Getting to the Heart of Your Identity”

Alicia's Bio: Alicia Terry is a truth seeker and her writing reflects it. She is a communications professional and master storyteller who uses her gifts of candor, transparency, and humor to inform, educate, and move people to action. Her heart’s desire is to help people know truth, discover who they are in Christ and to courageously live from that identity and vantage point to honor God and build His kingdom.
