The Counter Culture Mom Show with Tina GriffinHow Being Fully Present Transforms Families, Businesses, and Communities - Holly CulhaneIf we are always there but never truly present, it’s time we slow down and focus. Shepherd leadership is a calling for each Christian, but developing that critical skill is a lifelong journey. Holly Culhane is the president and CEO of Presence Point, a ministry that develops and supports shepherd leaders in all walks of life. “Service doesn’t have much value unless you match it with sacrifice,” Holly says.

2025-06-2103 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 139 - Part 4 | Psalms for Shepherds Today, we are at the tail-end of one of the most beautiful and versatile of David’s psalms, Psalm 139. This psalm reminds the reader – or the singer, as the case may be – how intimately God knows us, how constantly He is with us, and that He made us! Now, in the final six verses of the psalm – verses 18 through 24 – David reminds us that God judges righteously and that we cannot dispute Him. We also hear David grieving for those who ignore Him, His Word, and His ways.The closing verses of Chapter 139 says so much abou...
2025-02-2212 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 139 - Part 3 | Psalms for Shepherds We’re in Psalm 139 once again, and this week we are looking at the third stanza of this beautiful song – verses 13 through 18 – where David reminds us that God made us. In this psalm, David begins by showing us how intimately God know us and how constantly He is with us. Now He says, “Don’t forget. Not only does God know us intimately, not only is He constantly with us, but He made us!” David proclaims that we are the result of God’s creative handiwork “fearfully and wonderfully made”. God designed us with purpose, and He has determined...
2025-02-1510 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 139 - Part 2 | Psalms for Shepherds We continue in Psalm 139 this week in verses 7 through 12, where we see the reassuring reminder that God is with us constantly. 7 I can never escape from your Spirit!I can never get away from your presence!8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;if I go down to the grave, you are there.9 If I ride the wings of the morning,if I dwell by the farthest oceans,10 even there your hand will guide me,and your strength will support me.
2025-02-0808 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 139 - Part 1 | Psalms for Shepherds This week, we’re in Psalm 139, a chapter of Psalms with which many of us are very familiar. In this psalm we see the psalmist making three important points: (1) God knows everything, (2) God is present everywhere, (3) the psalmist, himself, hates sin and has a deep desire to be led correctly. Today, we will focus on the first six verses. 1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 3 You...
2025-02-0110 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 138 | Psalms for Shepherds This week it’s fun to be back in a psalm written by David, Psalm 138, a psalm that sings praises to our God and reminds us to do the same. Psalm 138 illustrates the depth of David’s faith in God, that He prayed to Him – and no other – for help, that he trusted God for victory in every battle, and that David’s enemies were defeated because of the Lord’s faithfulness – not because of his own might or power or the strength or number of his army. One commentator notes, “this psalm helps us u...
2025-01-2508 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 137 | Psalms for Shepherds This week we are in Psalm 137, a psalm that some say is “no doubt one of the most troubling and difficult psalms in the Psalter”! This song is nine verses of “remember” and “forget”. The psalmist, most likely a Levite, is asking God in this prayer to help the Jewish people remember Jerusalem, the precious city they inhabited before Babylon invaded, ravaged, and destroyed, taking many of the people captive. He also prays for consequences should his people forget their city, and to remember that what Jerusalem represents in indeed their greatest joy. You will he...
2024-11-3010 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 136 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. This week we find ourselves in Psalm 136, a psalm that calls worshippers to a posture of gratitude. Psalm 136 is 26 verses in length, and in every verse the same refrain is repeated – His faithful love endures forever. The refrain is meant to stir remembrance in us of God’s merciful, gracious intervention in our own lives. It is also meant to settle in us the deep truth that God’s love for you… and for me… … wi...
2024-11-2309 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 135 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. This week our focus is on Psalm 135, which begins a series of psalms that emphasize praising our God. This particular psalm’s emphasis is on praising our God for who He is and what He has done. The psalmist begins this psalm with praise to our Lord and ends with praise to our Lord. In between those moments of praise and worship, we are reminded that our Lord: is good that w...
2024-11-1608 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 134 | Psalms for Shepherds This week we close our time in the Psalms of Ascent with Psalm 134, the last of the 15 psalms intended for the ascension of the pilgrims to the temple in Jerusalem. This last Psalm of Ascent, it seems, is specifically celebrating the pilgrims’ safe arrival in the Holy City and that they had fulfilled their duties and were now preparing to return to the cities in which they lived. Psalm 134 Oh, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,you who serve at night in the...
2024-11-0905 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 133 | Psalms for Shepherds We continue this week in the Psalms of Ascent with Psalm 133. This psalm may be familiar to many of you, as David speaks candidly about the importance of unity -the word often translated as "harmony" in many Bibles - a timely reminder for our world today.Psalm 133How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe.
2024-10-2605 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 132 | Psalms for Shepherds This week, the journey through the Psalms of Ascent continues with a song that celebrates the Lord's faithfulness to David in several ways and can therefore, if we let it, remind us of God's faithfulness to us.Verses 1 through 5 of this psalm recount David's request to build a house for God - a "sanctuary for the Mighty One of Israel".Verses 6 through 10 recall how God allowed David to move the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.In verses 11 through the end of the psalm, the psalmist reminds us that God chose David's line...
2024-10-1912 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 131 | Psalms for Shepherds As we continue in the Psalms of Ascent this week, we turn to Psalm 131. Charles Spurgeon described this song best when he said, “It is one of the shortest psalms to read, but one of the longest to learn.” Psalm 131 A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I don’t concern myself with matters too great or too awesome for me to grasp. Instead, I have calmed and...

2024-10-1235 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 130 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. This week, the journey through the Psalms of Ascent continues in Psalm 130. This song begins with the psalmist in deep distress on behalf of the Jewish community, crying out to God for mercy and, ultimately, placing his hope in the Lord. His perspective changes because he knows that Yahweh will save them in His divine time. Based on that confidence, the psalmist then invites Israel to wait for the Lord. I recently read the...

This week, the journey through the Psalms of Ascent continues in Psalm 128. This song may be a psalm of ascent, but it feels like a remarkable blessing to me! One resource I read calls this psalm the “The Celebration of Fruitfulness”. Another speaks of how this psalm illustrates that “the godly will know true happiness because the Lord is with them, building their home life and blessing them across generations”. That is exactly how it fe...

This week we continue our journey in the Psalms of Ascent with one of only two psalms attributed to Solomon - Psalm 127.These five verses speak boldly about the importance of the WHY behind what we do and who we do it for - the importance of remembering that unless a house, or a family, is built with the Lord at the helm the effort is completely in vain.Everything we do...
2024-09-1412 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 126 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome once again to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. This week we continue our journey in the Psalms of Ascent with Psalm 126. Although perhaps written as a corporate lament, there is much language of hope and joy in these six verses. Nearly every verse contains an expression of joy – laughter, images of restored fortunes, streams in the desert, and abundance of harvest. However, we can also see in the song that the current state of the psalmist is not one of joy, ease, and ab...
2024-08-0308 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 125 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. This week we are in Psalm 125, yet another Psalm of Ascent. This one wonderfully names the benefits that faith and faithfulness bring to God’s people. This song mentions “those who trust in the Lord”, who are called good and upright. One translation puts it this way: “those whose hearts are in tune with God”. And this song speaks of the wicked and refers to them as “whose scepter will not rest on the land allotte...
2024-07-2707 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 124 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to our Psalms for Shepherds podcast. We continue this week in the Psalms of Ascent with Psalm 124, a psalm that remarkably describes what it would be like if God had not rescued the Israelites, and, as we apply it today, what it would be like if God did not rescue us over and over and over again. This psalm begins with “What if the LORD had not been on our side?” and then repeats that same question to require the singers to ensure th...

Today we’ll be looking at Psalm 122, the third of fifteen Psalms of Ascent. The very first verse of this song may have you singing a chorus from your childhood. “I was glad when they said unto me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’” I have such a fun memory of that song!

Today we’ll be looking at Psalm 121, the second of the Psalms - or Songs - of Ascent. Raechel Myers, the founder of She Reads Truth, contemporizes this group of psalms this way: “These songs for the journey are words to set our hearts on as we go. They are written to help us feel what we are meant to feel – the blunt force of tragedy, the wonder of beauty, the longing for rescue, the indignation that oppose...

We’re looking at the concluding passage of this acrostic based on the Hebrew alphabet – verses 169 through 176 – entitled Tav. This psalm is composed of one prayer request: “O Lord, listen to my cry…” then a sweet confession: “I have wandered away like a lost sheep…” followed by a second request: “Come and find me, for I have not forgotten your commands.” Timothy and Julie Tenn...
2024-05-2506 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 21 | Psalms for Shepherds This is Holly Culhane with Presence Point and welcome to week 21 in our series on Psalm 119. Today, we’re looking at verses 161 through 168, the stanza of this psalm that is based on the letter Shin in the Hebrew alphabet. David is continuing his plea to God to save him, but in this stanza, he has a peace, a shalom, that emanates from his reverence and belief in God’s Word. Just as it should for us during times of difficulty. I know that communicating with the Father, praising hi...
2024-05-1106 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 20 | Psalms for Shepherds Today, we’re looking at verses 153 through 160, the stanza of this Psalm that is based on the 20th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Resh. As I read this psalm, I thought how much the psalmist sounds like us when we come before our Lord in desperation. We often ask for him to save us from whatever we’re facing. And, while making the request to Him, we often remind Him of His mercies, how we are promised from His Word – which we believe is true and faithful – that those mercies are new every morning, and we beg Him...

Today, we’re looking at verses 145 through 152, the stanza of this Psalm that is based on the 19th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Qoph (pronounced KUPH or KOPH). This passage is a reminder to us as under-shepherds, to go often to the Father on our behalf and on behalf of the sheep n our lives and to do so as an act of love, with our eyes open, to watch and pray as Nehemiah did, an...

Today, we’re looking at verses 137 through 144, the stanza of this Psalm that is based on the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Tsadhe (pronounced SAHdi). the Puritans had a deep and meaningful prayer life, as illustrated in the collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions in the book, The Valley of Vision. One of those prayers reminded me of the portion of Psalm 119 we are reviewing today. Please join me in praying this Puritan prayer, in an u...
2024-03-3008 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 17 | Psalms for Shepherds Welcome to week 17 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 129 through 136. This stanza of the Psalm is based on the 17th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, known as Pe which in Hebrew means mouth.I have not spoken of the meaning of the Hebrew letters during this Psalm 119 series, but I’ve been so drawn to the meaning with this particular letter. The fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet also means “mouth”, but interestingly it means breathing, breath, Spirit, and revelation. Pe, the letter associated with these 16 verses, however, means “speech, the...
2024-03-0210 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 16 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 16 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 121 through 128. This stanza of the Psalm is based on the 16th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, known as Ayin. In this portion of Psalm 119, the psalmist --- the author --- feels he is at the mercy of his enemies and that he has done what is just and right, and wants assurance that God will rescue him.The psalmist knows and expresses in this psalm that God is the ULTMATE PROTECTOR. He can intervene at any time He chooses, just as...
2024-02-2412 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 15 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 15 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 113 through 120. This stanza of the Psalm is based on the 15th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, known as Samekh, and reminds us that God protects His people, God upholds the obedient, God rejects the wicked, and that God alone should be feared.This passage is a perfect reminder that respecting God’s judgments begins with respecting His Word, and that respect begins with a wholehearted commitment to Scripture. A commitment that we, as God’s under-shepherds, should demonstrate.
2024-02-2209 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 14 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 14 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 105 through 1124. This portion of this acrostic Psalm based on the Hebrew alphabet, represents the 14th letter, known as Noon. It has often been said that “the greatest ability is dependability”. And we know this applies to our Savior, as He is fully faithful to us. Of course, then, is it not unreasonable for our Savior to expect us to be faithful to Him. This portion of Psalm 119 demonstrates exactly that: the faithfulness of the psalmist to His God and the example we are to follow...
2024-01-2709 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 13 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 13 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 97 through 104. This portion of this acrostic Psalm based on the Hebrew alphabet, represents the 12th letter, known as Mem. In this passage, the psalmist again speaks of His love for God’s word, His desire to meditate seriously on it, and the wisdom and understanding it gives him, and he shares how his desire to keep God’s Word keeps him from evil, stepping outside of the instructions God provides, and from every false way. According to this port...
2024-01-1308 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 12 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 12 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 89 through 96. This portion of the longest Psalm, also an acrostic based on the Hebrew alphabet, represents the 11th letter, known as Lemedh. It’s clear in this passage that God’s Word is settled, that He is faithful, that His creation is established, and that peace is available for those who choose to believe His Word and follow His way and His Truths. It seems that Psalm 119, so far, has proven, as Thomas Manton, an English Puritan Clergyma...
2024-01-0610 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 11 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 11 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 81 through 88. This portion of the longest Psalm, also an acrostic based on the Hebrew alphabet, represents the 11th letter, known as Kaph. This is where it seems the psalmist is worn out from waiting for the Lord, but still has hope in God’s future rescue, he still expects God to step into his situation.How many of us can relate to this passage? We long to be saved from the situation we face. In fact, we ac...
2023-12-3006 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 10 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 10 of our series on Psalm 119, and we’re looking at verses 73 through 80. This portion of this acrostic Psalm represents the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, known as Yodh, and it reminds us of our Creator, our need for understanding, His righteousness, His faithfulness, and His mercy, even, or especially, in affliction. I recently read a devotional from Disciplersonline.org that reminded me how we often turn to God and trust Him in what we often consider the “BIG AFFLICTIONS” of life. It seems that in the small afflicti...
2023-12-2308 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 9 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 9 of our Psalm 119 series, we’re looking at verses 65 through 72. Since this psalm is an acrostic from the Hebrew alphabet, this portion of the Psalm represents the ninth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, known as Teth. In Psalm 119:65-72, the psalmist describes himself as a penitent sinner who gratefully accepts the Lord’s discipline and a passage that affirms the goodness of God, the graciousness of his dealings, and the preciousness of his Word. It’s interesting to note that in each group of verses in Psalm 119, the psalmist typically u...
2023-12-1609 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 8 | Psalms for Shepherds This is week 8 of our time in Psalm 119, we’re looking at verses 57 through 64 covering the eighth letter in this Hebrew acrostic, known as Heth. It seems the psalmist is pretty straightforward in this psalm --- the Lord is his portion, his Master, and his greatest joy! And He should be the same for us! In that regard, the under-shepherds of the 21st Century are no different than the under-shepherds of 1000 BC! With that in mind and because the authors of Endless Grace do such a beautiful job wit...

I know that if we look at this passage in most of our Bibles, we’ll see that Hebrew letter over it as a header, but as I read these eight verses, I want to write the word “HOPE” – in all capital letters, like a neon flashing sign – above this portion of Psalm 119. It’s steeped in HOPE. HOPE in God’s promises. HOPE in God’s precepts, statutes, and teaching. HOP...

When I read Psalm 119: 41-48 in preparation for today’s podcast, the song writer’s desire was to honor the Father in how he responded to others in every situation. It was so clear when he was mocked, in public and in private, with those with much influence and with those of little influence. In every situation, his desire was to give godly answers, without embarrassment or shame. The psal...
2023-11-2507 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 5 | Psalms for Shepherds Today we continue our deep-dive into Psalm 119 where we are on the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, He (Hay). When I read verses 33-40 of the longest psalms, it seemed the song writer was seeking divine understanding and a deeper desire for obedience. As I researched the passage, my suspicion was affirmed, because in Hebrew, the English word for “understanding” is expanded beyond our general context – which is to “perceive an intended meaning of something, to include, to discern, to realize, to be prudent even to care for, to have skill, insight, a...

As I read through Psalm 119: 25-32, they made me think the author was deeply grieving, full of sorrow and maybe even despair, but wanted the strength of the Father. Although they were struggling, they truly wanted to understand the ways of Yahweh and to choose His path. Whatever it is you hear in these eight verses that speaks to where you are in life as the Father’s under-shepherd, the one from whom the...
2023-11-1108 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 3 | Psalms for Shepherds Today, we’re in the third acrostic of Psalm 119, entitled Gimel, third letter of the Hebrew alphabet.While the theme of this psalm, as a whole, is the practical use of the Word of God in the life of the believer. These eight verses remind me of what we need to do to obtain true discernment or knowing God’s Word, His ways, and His instructions so well that we have the ability to judge well and to make good decisions.Please join me in reading Psalm 119: 17-24
2023-11-0407 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 2 | Psalms for Shepherds Today, we’re in the second acrostic of Psalm 119, entitled Bet – the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Verses 9 through 16 of Psalm 119 talk of the need to pursue purity and cultivate wisdom through God’s principles and instructions. Just as a true Jewish teacher would do, the psalmist begins this portion of the song by asking his students a question. Let’s worship together by reading Psalm 119, verses 9 through 16. Beth 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according...
2023-10-2810 minPsalms for ShepherdsPsalm 119 | Part 1 | Psalms for Shepherds Today we’re in Psalm 119, the longest song in the Psalter we call the book of Psalms, with 176 verses. To be honest, knowing that Psalm 119 was coming up in this series nearly gave me a sense of foreboding. Not just because of its length but because of its depth. Then, as I took a deep breath and prayed for wisdom, I realized I was NOT going to cover 176 verses in 1 or 2 podcasts. Instead, with the amount of practical application for today’s under-shepherds that is in each ofthe passages the 22 successive letters of...

Just picture this psalm being sung by our Lord, with His disciples present, as they completed the Passover meal that night. Yes, it seems that Jesus may have sung this song, entitled ‘His Steadfast Love Endures Forever,’ with tho...
