Welcome to Street Psalms. We are glad you are here. Take a breath, settle in, and take your seat at an ever-expanding table. This is a space where we train the head, heart and hands of urban leaders to love their city and seek its peace. If you want to learn more, take a look around the website, or check out some other options below.

Our You Version Plans are based on our weekly lectionary reflections called Word from Below.

Curious about what our Word from Below reflections looks like? Here are some recent examples:

By Lina Thompson | May 12, 2023

Here we are, nearly 6 weeks past Easter. The gospel lectionary passage will not let us forget the days before Jesus’ death…and the words…the last words he spoke to his disciples. Jesus is measured and intentional with what he wants them to know and remember…and here it is…

Hope is the Way

By Trisha Welstad | May 5, 2023
