Rooted: 30 Days in the Psalms

The Psalms are the prayer book of the Bible, raw, honest, and deeply human. This thirty-day journey pairs one psalm per day with a contemplative reading practice.

Rooted: 30 Days in the Psalms

How this walk works

For three thousand years, people have prayed the Psalms. They cover everything: joy and grief, praise and rage, confidence and doubt. There is nothing you are feeling right now that the Psalms have not already put into words.

This journey takes you through 30 psalms in 30 days, but it is not a speed-read. Each day you will practice lectio divina: reading slowly, sitting with a phrase, and letting it work on you. Zoe delivers the psalm each morning, walks you through the contemplative reading, and then follows up throughout the day to help you carry it with you. By the end, you will not just know the Psalms better. You will have a practice for reading Scripture that lasts.
