Frequencies of Praise

In this weighty yet tender episode where De Ana dives into the wounded of the Church. She exposes the spirit of division that God hates, highlights His heart for restoration, and vulnerably shares her own journey through church hurt—and the healing that only the Father can bring.

🕊️ This is a call to truth, to love, to unity. Not for the sake of appearances—but because the oil of anointing only flows when we dwell together in forgiveness, humility, and restoration.

🎧 We explore:

🔹 Why gossip and false witness grieve the Spirit

🔹 The weight of leading God’s people (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel)

🔹 Church hurt vs. spiritual abuse—and how God meets us there

🔹 The danger of exposé culture & self-appointed “discernment ministries”

🔹 Practical steps to confront, forgive, and rebuild relationships

🔹 Why restoration is a spiritual act of worship

🔹 A prayer for those carrying deep wounds from the Bride

📖 Scripture Highlights:

🎯 Proverbs 6:16–19 – The seven things the Lord hates

🎯 Galatians 6:1–2 – Restore gently, carry each other’s burdens

🎯 2 Corinthians 5:18 – Ministry of reconciliation

🎯 1 John 4 – If we love not, we know not God

🎯 Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 23, Isaiah 56 – Warnings to shepherds

🎯 Matthew 18 – Restoring a brother in private

🎯 Luke 15 – The prodigal son and the older brother spirit

If you’ve been wounded by church… or if you're trying to lead through fractured community—this episode is for you.

Unity is not just a virtue—it’s a fragrance. A frequency. And in the eyes of God, it’s sacred.In this deep teaching episode of Frequencies of Praise, De Ana unpacks Psalm 133 and what it truly meant when David said, "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity..." This wasn’t poetic fluff—it was a reference to priestly oil, Tabernacle protocols, and spiritual authority that only flows where there is true unity.🎧 We explore:🔹The biblical formula and sacredness of the priestly oil (Exodus 30)🔹Why the anointing can’t be duplicated or faked🔹How division, offense, and prejudice keep us from fragrant worship🔹What it means to carry the essence of Christ—not just perform worship🔹How oil, aroma, and frequency are deeply connected (both spiritually and scientifically)🔹A call for worship leaders to pray for the Body, heal from prejudice, and long for unity, not just better music setsIf you're a worship leader, this episode will challenge you to look beyond Sunday logistics and into the heart posture that creates space for God's oil to flow.📖 Scripture Highlights:🎯Psalm 133🎯Exodus 30:22–33 (Anointing Oil Instructions)🎯Acts 2 (unity in the early Church)🎯1 Corinthians 13:9–12 ("We know in part…")💬 Let us know what resonated most—tag @FOPpodcast and share this with someone who needs to hear it.📩 Got a question or topic suggestion?

In this soul-deep episode (15), De Ana sits down with writer and creative coach Alivia Roan to explore the spiritual power of writing storytelling—not just as a craft, but as worship and communion with God.

Whether you’re a worship leader with half-written lyrics in your notes app or a fiction writer 10 years into a book you’ve never finished—this episode is your permission to pick up the pen again.

Together, we dive into the heart of creative obedience: how to write with God, how to move past fear and perfectionism, and how stories—like songs—can carry presence, light, and healing.

🎧 In this Episode We Cover:

• How Kingdom fiction writing carry truth and transformation
• The cultural urgency for Holy Spirit-led media
• The trap of perfectionism and why it’s rooted in fear
• How legalism and shame choke creativity
• How play and curiosity intersect with spiritual intimacy and creativity
• Writing as worship
• What Jesus’ parables teach us about storytelling
• Why reading the Bible as story matters

📣 This episode is for the worship leader or Kingdom creative who’s ever thought:

“I have lyrics, stories, or ideas stirring — but I never seem to finish them.”

"How do I write with God instead of just for Him?"

"Why can’t I just finish this book/story already?"

👇 Let us know in the comments:

What story—or song—has God been stirring in you to release? And what might change if you saw the writing process as worship, too?

In this powerful and tender episode De Ana sits down with Dallas Marley—entrepreneur, missionary, mentor, and one of the founding voices behind BlueJay House in Lubbock, TX. Together, they uncover the dangerous undercurrent of performance-based faith that has woven its way into modern worship and Christian culture.

From pastoring a church through deep loss, to launching a business out of obedience, to discovering he “heard the gospel for the first time” after years in the ministry—Dallas shares the raw, redemptive story that led to his deliverance from depression, the death of religion in his heart, and the birth of BlueJay House.

This episode isn’t about being anti-performance—it’s about exposing the subtle ways we can turn intimacy with God into a means to an end. Dallas and De Ana unpack the micro-distinctions that matter: seeking the secret place for love, not for ministry. Worship as overflow, not a strategy. Freedom as the starting point, not a goal we earn.

In this episode:

• The moment Dallas said, “I think I just heard the gospel for the first time.”

• How "hunger for God" can actually mask religious striving

• The story behind BlueJay House and its heart to minister to the Lord

• What it means to be loved by God—with no strings attached

• Worshiping in spirit and in truth (not just emotion)

• Why the real gospel removes yokes instead of adding more

🎧 What You’ll Hear:

🔹How a karaoke bar moment became a holy rebuke—and a redirection

🔹The crazy prophetic journey from obscurity to the Grand Ole Opry

🔹What happens when you ignore God’s call for 20+ years—and He still finds you

Episode Summary:
In this soul-stirring episode, De Ana Abinante delivers a prophetic allegorical narrative that tenderly, yet powerfully, mirrors the story of Scripture—from Genesis to Jesus—through the eyes of a beloved bride and her relentless, covenant-keeping King. With poetic depth and raw vulnerability, she invites listeners to see the Bible not as fragmented commandments or disconnected stories, but as the most intimate and sacrificial love story ever told.

Through vivid storytelling, listeners will be moved to tears as they encounter the heartache, betrayal, longing, jealousy, and eternal love of a King who never gives up on His beloved—even when she forgets who she is. Whether you're a worship leader, intercessor, or simply someone hungry for real, spirit-led revelation, this episode is a deeply anointed well of inspiration.

What You’ll Hear:

• A prophetic retelling of Israel's journey as a deeply personal love story

• The heart of God revealed through poetry and passion

• A fresh lens on the Old Testament and its fulfillment in Jesus

• A call back to intimacy, repentance, and restoration

Perfect for listeners who:

• Are hungry to understand Scripture through the lens of love and covenant

• Have wrestled with shame, betrayal, or spiritual wandering

• Long to experience the deep, jealous, redemptive love of God

In this fifth part of our "How to Study the Bible" series, De Ana unpacks something that can shift your entire relationship with Scripture: seeing the Bible not as scattered verses, but as one sweeping, cohesive story.Too often, we cherry-pick a few verses here and there — but the Bible is a grand narrative, much like a Marvel Universe saga or a multi-layered symphony. And if we don’t grasp the overarching story, we miss the richness, the heartbreak, and the relentless love that pulses through every page.🎯 In this episode we cover:🔹 How the Bible unfolds as one continuous, through-line story🔹 Why context matters deeply (especially for prophetic books like Isaiah)🔹 How "studying the Bible" is less like cramming facts — and more like learning a song within its album within its larger genre🔹 Why understanding the Bible's full arc anchors and deepens your relation with GodWhether you’re leading worship on a stage, writing music, creating art, or simply longing to hear God more clearly through His Word—this conversation will ground you in the Story you've always belonged to.🔗 Resources mentioned: The Bible Project Videos:https://bibleproject.com/videos/collections/how-to-read-the-bible/The Bible Project Podcast Series: How to Read the Biblehttps://bibleproject.com/podcast/series/how-to-read-the-bible-series/🔔 Series: How to Study the Bible (Part 5)✨ Follow Frequencies of Praise: linktr.ee/FOPpodcast📩 Got a question or topic suggestion?

Welcome back to Frequencies of Praise, a podcast for worship leaders, Kingdom creatives, and believers hungry to go deeper in worship and the Word.

🎯 In this short but soul-stirring episode, De Ana explores how true wisdom isn’t handed to us — it’s discovered. Like a child digging in the dirt for treasure or an oyster wrestling with a grain of sand until it becomes a pearl, we’re called into a holy process: the slow, sacred art of searching.

You'll hear reflections on:

🔹 Why God often hides wisdom in process and not on the surface

🔹How seeking wisdom is like doing spiritual archaeology

🔹 What pearls, crockpots, and escape rooms teach us about revelation

🔹 How to stir your curiosity again and approach Scripture like a child

🔹 Why surface-level knowledge isn’t enough—and how to dig for transformation

Whether you’re crafting Sunday set-lists, creating Kingdom content, or just trying to stay grounded in your walk—this episode will reignite your hunger to seek and find.

🔑 Key verse:

"Search for wisdom as for hidden treasure. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." — Proverbs 2 & 4
