What if I Stumble, What if I Fall

"What if I stumble? What if I fall?" Maybe you're asking a quieter version of that — what if this pattern never changes, what if I've fallen too many times to be taken seriously, by God or myself? Those questions aren't weak faith; they're paying attention. Through a worship leader who nearly lost his faith to envy, a righteous man who fell seven times and still got up, and a nation of exiles sure God forgot them, here's the answer: the wicked stay down — the righteous rise. Not because you're strong, but because His hands have held you all along.

Passages: Psalm 73; Proverbs 24:16; Isaiah 40:27–31

About the Podcast

Be Still and Know
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Scripture, taught slowly and without rush. Be Still offers full expository sermons that walk carefully through the text, plus shorter midweek episodes to steady your week. Named for the verse my grandmother held close all her life — and offered now as a place to stop, listen, and remember who God is.
In a loud and hurried world, come and be still.

I'm Jeff — the heart behind Be Still and Know. This show started from a simple desire: to slow down and actually sit with God's Word, without the rush. It's named for Psalm 46:10, my grandmother's favorite verse — "Be still, and know that I am God." Every episode, I try to walk through Scripture honestly and carefully, paired with original songs, as a place for you to pause in the middle of a noisy week and be reminded of who God is. I'm glad you're here.
