Why You Can’t Find Peace: 4 Things Keeping You From Rest | Dr. Beverly Lewis | The Elisha Show

What if the reason you can’t find peace isn’t that you need to do more, but that you need to pause and let your Shepherd lead?

On this episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha speaks with Dr. Beverly Lewis about the practical meaning of Psalm 23 and how its timeless message can guide us through uncertainty, loss, and everyday pressures. Drawing from her research and book, The Shelter in the Shepherd: The Psalm 23 Experience, Dr. Beverly explains four things that keep sheep from resting: fear, famine, flies, and friction, and how these mirror the struggles we face in our own lives.

Discover why rest must be intentional, how spiritual reflection can help us find direction during difficult seasons, and why living Scripture matters more than simply knowing its words.
