be at peace

Please hear me out. There are so many bad things in this world to fight against. You are not one of them.  So please stop fighting yourself.

In this episode, I will share with you the story of how I made peace with myself and why I believe it's so important for us to be at peace with ourselves. Ironically, my story about finding inner peace is actually related to the war that is happening in Ukraine.

This might be the most personal and most vulnerable podcast episode I have recorded to date,  but I believe that it's very important that I  tell this story, especially based on where I am in my life and my work.

I hope it resonates with you.

Can I just say that, once again, one of the most amazing things in reading these psalms, is how they speak to me as if written with me in mind? Being at peace even in the exact middle of some rather unpeaceful situations. What an amazing experience. Just how is this done? Well… let’s first hear the psalm shall we. Then we can see if you agree or not.    

So, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is a podcast for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is series in which, each Tuesday, we will listen to a Psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service.   

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.

I'm back on my birthday! After locking myself in my room and reflecting on my life most of the day, I have a message for you. It's time for some real talk. Be at peace!
