Taste and See

Taste and See

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
PSALM 34:8 · ESV

"Taste and see" is a strange invitation for a religious text to make. It doesn't ask for belief first. It doesn't demand a signed statement of faith before you're allowed near the table. It just says: try this, and find out for yourself.

That's a different posture than most people expect from faith — less like a lecture, more like being handed something and told to notice what happens when you actually experience it rather than argue about it from a distance. "Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him" comes right after, almost as evidence: here's what people who tried it found.

You don't have to sign up for anything to take a verse like this seriously. It's just asking whether you're willing to actually test the claim instead of only debating it in your head.

What would it look like to actually test this instead of just thinking about it?

A short video on this is coming soon — for now, read on.
