Episode 19: The True Solution To Our Problems - Psalm 12:1-8

Why does the world seem to be growing darker? Why are truth, faithfulness, and genuine godliness becoming harder to find? In this episode of Refuge & Strength, formerly called Getting To Know God, Brandon (Pastor b.Side) examines Psalm 12 to discover what God says about the root cause of humanity’s problems—and the only true solution.

As David cries out, “Help, LORD,” he describes a culture filled with empty words, self-deception, pride, and spiritual compromise. Sound familiar? Psalm 12 reveals how people’s refusal to humble themselves before God leads to greater wickedness, confusion, and despair. Yet in the midst of a corrupt world, God makes a powerful promise: He will arise on behalf of His people, expose the darkness, and establish the faithful in safety.

Join us as we explore God's hatred of pride, the danger of “THE lie” that humanity can thrive apart from Him, the certainty of His pure and perfect Word, and the comfort believers can find in His promise to defend the poor, needy, and humble in spirit.

No matter how chaotic the world becomes, God remains faithful. His Word is pure, His promises are certain, and He will stand up for His people in His perfect time.
