Finding God in the dark at 30 years old; is getting better at music a way to get closer to God? — what to do when what you’ve poured your life into starts to become uncertain; the heart and story behind the formation of the band Unbound; how congregations have built-in authenticity barometers; being intentional with worship team dynamics so that it isn’t about one personality but about different expressions of the body of Christ.

Creative opportunities opened up by the pandemic; the Erin + Nick Worship Collaborative; the story behind the song King Jesus; seeking the freedom of the worshippers that we are leading; imagining an Army of worshippers who choose Him in the secret place; what we value in The Salvation Army; raising up skilled musicians vs raising up people who worship in Spirit and truth; letting the Holy Spirit lead us in worship.

Developing a love for worship through osmosis; walking away from everything you know for the sake of a hard reset; allowing God to “undo” us for the sake of us finding our true identity in Him; answering the call to become a Salvation Army officer; finding time to keep our relationship with Jesus vibrant; allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us into both work and rest.

Looking back on this first season of being a podcaster and reminding myself why I started doing this podcast; some lessons I’ve learned along the way; sharing my hope for the future.

Highlights from season one interviews.

It’s the time of year where we rejoice, but it’s also a tough time for many people. Enjoy this little moment of musical rest - a little gift for you featuring a rendition of one of my favorite carols… O come, O come, Immanuel… Merry Christmas.

Interviewing country Christian artist Daniel Mulkey to talk about his brand new album Real; Daniel tells the real life stories behind the songs he’s written; the challenge for us, as Christians, to be authentic and transparent with each other, especially as we are dealing with the tough stuff in life.

Processing personal and corporate trauma through worship songwriting; God as our restorer and healer; the “in-between” is not the ending.

Jesus extends the invitation of friendship and belonging to each of us; learning unity in ministry as couples; the heart behind The Honey Initiative; building each other up with encouraging words; being relational as a way to combat “green room culture”

Meditating on how Jesus enters into our sadness when we lose those that we love, those who leave “before their time”.
