The world is heavy right now. The political division, the economic pressure, the news you can't stop following - Heavy and Held is a 60-day devotional written for Christians who are overwhelmed by the times they are living in. You are not anxious because your faith is weak. You are anxious because the world is genuinely difficult right now - politically, economically, socially. The ground feels unstable, the future feels uncertain, and even the people around you seem divided. Three thousand years ago, a shepherd-king wrote a psalm from inside his own version of that feeling. Psalm 23 was not written for easy times. It was written for the valley - and it has steadied people through every kind of upheaval since. Heavy and Held moves through that psalm one verse at a time - slowly, bringing its ancient convictions into the specific weight of today. Not to minimise what is hard or to offer easy answers. But to remind you that the Shepherd who leads His people through the valley is not surprised by the one you are in.
