Companions Season 3: Episode 15 - Sing to the Lord a New Psalm

This week, we hit another checkpoint in our Bible-in-a-year journey—and we’re slowing down to spend some time in the Psalms.

Joined by a very special guest (and Pastor Becca's dad!), Paul Detterman, we explore what the Psalms actually are, why they show up alongside the rest of Scripture, and how they give voice to the full range of human experience—from joy and gratitude to grief, anger, and everything in between.

Together, we talk through the different types of Psalms, the honesty they model in prayer, and why these ancient words still matter for our lives today. If you’ve ever struggled to find the words to pray—or wondered if you’re “allowed” to be fully honest with God—this conversation is for you.

Because the Psalms don’t just teach us what to say…they remind us that nothing we bring before God is off-limits.
