In this episode, Haley and Dustin talk with Dove Award–winning songwriter and founder of Music for the Soul, Steve Siler.

Steve shares his hope story of how he and his wife processed the difficult news that their son would be born with spina bifida – and how God provided comfort, hope, and supportive friends. He also opens up about the healing power of music and how it can help people express pain, process emotions, and experience God’s comfort. Steve offers encouragement to ministry leaders on using music as a tool for care and shares resources that speak to anxiety, mental health, and real-life struggles with honesty and hope.

Subscribe to the podcast and tune in each week as Haley and Dustin share with you what the Bible says about real-life issues with compassion, warmth, and wit.

So you have every reason for hope, for every challenge in life. Because hope means

everything.
