Sehnsucht Symphony releases on all major streaming platforms on March 7.

In this special episode of LAB the Podcast, the microphone flips. For the first time, host Zach Elliott takes the guest seat as Cammie Elliott leads the conversation.

Together they explore the story behind Sehnsucht Symphony, the orchestral work inspired by Zach’s book Now I See. What began as a desire to express humanity’s deep longing for God grew into an ambitious artistic journey, collaborating with composer Dr. Constantine Caravassilis, recording with the Brno Philharmonic, and bringing a six-movement symphonic story to life.

Sehnsucht Symphony releases on all major streaming platforms on March 7.

In this episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach Elliotts sits down with filmmaker and creative director Chris Farrell. The storyteller behind Stronger Spells, the documentary capturing the making of Sehnsucht Symphony. From a 10-year-old’s Jurassic Park moment to filming 92 musicians in Brno, Chris shares what makes a story “chemically change” you, and why a new symphony in 2026 is “crazy rare.”

Together, they explore beauty, longing, intentional art in a disposable age, and why Sehnsucht, that deep ache for something beyond this world, is so important in our time.

In this episode of LAB the Podcast, Zach sits down with artist and author Josh Nadeau to celebrate the release of Heaven Meets Earth, a 40-day devotional journey through the Nicene Creed.

Together, we explore why “We believe” is a powerful communal confession in a fractured age, how beauty can lead us back into rooted truth, and why recovering historic Christianity may be one of the most urgent acts of formation for families today.

In this special ON THE ROAD episode, LAB the Podcast visits St. John’s Episcopal Church in Tampa, Florida. St. John’s is a sacred space where beauty is overflowing. From stained glass and reverent architecture to the liturgy and community life, every element invites you in to St. John’s. 

We explore how beauty shapes worship, how tradition forms imagination, and how sacred spaces quietly disciple us before a single word is spoken. Through conversation with Father Chris of St. John’s, we reflect on the role of liturgy, hospitality, and embodied faith in cultivating a church that doesn’t just house beauty — but invites it into the world.
