In the third Psalm, we read the perspectives of King David as he fled from his scheming son Absalom who incited a rebellion in an attempt to take the throne. While David does not shy away from the brutality of his situation, he also does not leave us in a hopeless place. Instead, by remembering the ways God had been faithful to him in the past, he demonstrates an appreciation for God’s sustenance, a hope for God’s salvation, and a trust in God’s sovereignty. Join with Andrew and Josiah as they discuss this short psalm, and how we can learn from David’s example in times of opposition and suffering.

Josiah has served the Oakridge Bible Chapel family as one of its elders and one of its pastoral staff members since September 2018, before which he ministered as an associate pastor to a local congregation in the Canadian prairies. Josiah's desire is to be used by God to help equip the church for ministry, both while gathered (edification) and while scattered (evangelization). He is married to Patricia, and together they have five children—Jonah, Henry, Nathaniel, Josephine, and Benjamin.
