We’ve Been Reading the Psalms Wrong
Have modern Christians lost something in the way we read the Psalms? This week on The Disciple Standard Podcast, Scott takes us deep into his research on how the early church understood the Psalms—and why writers like Athanasius and Origen saw Jesus throughout the entire Psalter. The conversation explores Psalm 78, the parables of Jesus, prayer, worship, and the surprising idea that the Psalms don't simply tell us about Jesus—they may actually teach us to pray with Jesus.

Have modern Christians lost something in the way we read the Psalms? This week on The Disciple Standard Podcast, Scott takes us deep into his research on how the early church understood the Psalms—and why writers like Athanasius and Origen saw Jesus throughout the entire Psalter. The conversation explores Psalm 78, the parables of Jesus, prayer, worship, and the surprising idea that the Psalms don't simply tell us about Jesus—they may actually teach us to pray with Jesus. The guys also wrestle with what modern Christianity may have lost along the way: Why did the church stop singing the Psalms? Is prayer really just expressing what's already in our hearts? And could recovering the Psalms reshape the way we understand Jesus, worship, and prayer?
