Did you know that God promises not only to tenderly protect you like a mother bird, but also to give you the strong refuge of His faithful promises? Award-winning flash fiction writer and storyteller Meg Wilson joins Angela to explore the beauty of Psalm 91:4. Meg shares her personal journey of moving to a new place, facing loneliness, and discovering God’s tender yet mighty protection. This episode offers hope and insight for anyone needing to experience God’s refuge—whether amid life’s big transitions, relational hardships, or seasons of insecurity. Episode Highlights

• The discussion traces the context of Psalms 90 and 91: Moses’ prayers, Israel’s journey, and God’s call to dwell in His presence for true protection.
• Angela and Meg unpack the imagery in “He will cover you with his feathers,” explaining how God’s care is as tender as a mother bird and as strong as a shield—protecting us from the outside and inside.
• Meg shares about walking through a difficult season after moving to Oklahoma, how loneliness drew her closer to God, and how God’s promises became her protection against self-doubt and insecurity.
• The episode ends with encouragement to find Christian community, dive deeply into God’s Word, and let God’s promises serve as armor and peace for the journey.

Great Quotes

• “God’s protection over his people is indescribably incredible. It’s as tender as a bird, but as strong as a shield.”
• “When it’s really hot outside, the mother bird will use her wings and she’ll shade the chicks from the sun. And then when it’s really cold, she’ll use her wings and cover them and huddle with them to keep them warm. … God is protecting us from the things on the outside—and He cares about the state of our heart and the state of our mind, and He helps us with that too.”
• “His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
• “It was definitely a season of him…protecting what’s inside, and kind of like cuddling with me to protect my beliefs about who I am and about who he is.”
• “It’s so hard to not internalize what people say about you, and to believe what the Lord says about you. … I think really practically just taking that time and spending it with Christ and then also finding that community for you.”
