Backstory is a 30-day journey through the Psalms that takes readers beyond the familiar verses and into the real lives of those who penned them. Each day explores not only the beauty and power of the psalm itself but also the story behind it—what was happening in the life of David, Moses, or the Sons of Korah when these songs were written. These are not abstract poems but words forged in the fires of fear, loss, joy, and worship. When we understand the backstory, the psalms become even more personal, relatable, and alive.

From the caves of heartbreak to the courts of praise, Backstory highlights how God meets His people in every moment of life. These devotionals offer space for reflection, Scripture reading, and prayer, encouraging readers to connect their own story with the timeless truth of God’s Word. Whether you’re walking through joy or hardship, you’ll find encouragement, perspective, and hope in the raw honesty and enduring faith of these ancient writers—and be reminded that your story is still being written by the same faithful God.
