Cage Free Voices Spoken Devotionals

The Queen Bathsheba leads listeners into a deep meditation on Psalm 1—a foundational text that contrasts the way of the righteous with the path of the wicked. This episode unpacks the layered biblical vocabulary that defines our spiritual direction: righteousness, wickedness, evil, unrighteousness, and ungodliness.

Psalm 1 isn’t just a poetic entry to the Psalms—it is a theological map. Through this sacred lens, we examine what it means to stand, walk, and sit in alignment or rebellion. This episode reveals how our positioning reflects our relationship with truth and how the language of Scripture draws bold lines between the blessed and the perishing.
