Why Faith Must Be Experienced

About this sermon

How do you move faith from your head to your heart? In this reflection on Psalm 34, John Ortberg explores one of the most famous invitations in Scripture: "Taste and see that the Lord is good." Many people know about God. Far fewer learn to experience God's goodness in everyday life. Drawing from the story of David, reflections from Augustine of Hippo, and a memorable scene from Prince Caspian, John shows how faith becomes real when it moves beyond ideas and into experience. This episode explores: - Psalm 34 and the goodness of God - Knowing about God vs. knowing God - Why praise matters during suffering - The Lord's nearness to the brokenhearted - Experiencing God in ordinary life - Learning to taste and see Scriptures: - Psalm 34 - 1 Samuel 21 #Psalm34 #JohnOrtberg #TasteAndSee #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms #Faith #godsgoodness 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
