We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new podcast: Lyric and Letter: Through The Word! This new series is designed to take you on a deeper journey through Scripture as we explore thematic connections, uncover hidden meanings, and trace God’s redemptive plan from Genesis to Revelation.

In Episode 1, we introduced the heart of this podcast and the inspiration behind it. Now, in Episode 2, we dive into the powerful story of Cain and Abel (Genesis 4-5), exploring why Abel’s offering was more acceptable to God and what this story teaches us about worship and the posture of our hearts. We also uncover the fascinating hidden meanings in the genealogies of Genesis 5 that point to the hope of redemption.

Let’s dive deep into the richness of Scripture together!

In this episode of Prayerful Pauses, we reflect on Psalm 139:23-24 and explore how God cleanses our hearts through the overflow of His Spirit and Word. Using a vivid analogy of dirty water being replaced by clean, we unpack the transformative power of inviting God to search us, know us, and lead us in His everlasting way. Join me as we discover the beauty of sanctification, the renewal of our hearts, and the faithfulness of God to cleanse us and make us more like Christ. Take a moment to pause, pray, and trust the overflowing work of His Spirit in your life.

Welcome back to Lyric and Letter! This final episode of Season 2 brings us to the heart of what it means to worship God through struggles and triumphs. Inspired by Brandon Lake’s “Hard-Fought Hallelujah,” we’ll explore the transformative power of resilient worship—praise that rises from broken places and leads us into deeper surrender and trust.

As we close out this season, we’re reminded that hallelujah is more than a word—it’s a choice, an act of faith, and a declaration of God’s goodness in every season.

In this special edition of Prayerful Pauses, we offer a heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving for friends, family, and communities around the world. Whether you’re walking through seasons of joy or navigating challenging times, this prayer is a reminder of God’s constant presence, His peace that surpasses understanding, and His love that knows no bounds. Join us as we speak words of hope, gratitude, and blessing over every listener, lifting up hearts to the One who holds us all. May this prayer bring encouragement and renewal to your weekend.

In this prayerful pause, I sit with the struggles many of us are feeling right now—family conflicts, grief over loved ones lost, and the overwhelming noise of a world full of competing voices. As I reflect, I find myself asking what it truly means to “rise above” when emotions run high and life feels heavy. Together, let’s unpack how God invites us to a higher perspective, not by avoiding hard things, but by leaning on His strength and seeing through His eyes. This episode is about learning, step by step, to find hope and steadiness in God’s promises, even as we navigate the chaos around us.

Welcome back to Lyric and Letter! In this episode, we journey through “Restore” by Salt of the Sound, an evocative piece that brings us to the heart of God’s work in our lives. Together, we’ll explore how the Lord takes our brokenness and fills it with His renewing love. Through the story of Naomi from the Book of Ruth, we witness God’s restoration from bitterness to hope, a journey that mirrors His promises for each of us.

In this "Prayerful Pause," we delve into the journey of faith as seen in Genesis 13, exploring how God’s grace remains constant, even in our failures. Many of us carry the misconception that a life of faith must be marked by perfect obedience, but the Bible offers a different perspective—one where failures are part of the journey, not the end of it. Through the story of Abraham and others in Scripture, we see that God uses our mistakes to refine us and draw us closer to Him.

Welcome back to Lyric and Letter! In this episode, we dive into “Who Is Like You” by Church of the City—a powerful anthem that celebrates God’s unmatched authority, His creative power, and His redeeming love. Join us as we journey through scripture, connecting the awe-inspiring truths of Genesis, Job, and the Gospels with this incredible song that declares there is truly no one like our God.

Welcome to "Prayerful Pauses," a series dedicated to encouraging you to slow down and engage deeply with God’s Word. In this episode, we reflect on Matthew 5:18-20, where Jesus teaches that not a stroke of the pen will fade from Scripture; every letter is alive, calling us deeper. To study is to seek the heartbeat of Heaven, where truth transforms, and the smallest command holds the keys to eternity.

This prayerful pause is an invitation to take the time to read and reflect on God’s unchanging Word, allowing it to shape our hearts and guide our steps. In just a few minutes, discover how setting aside time to engage with Scripture can transform your daily walk with the Lord. Let this be a moment of stillness, where the Word becomes more than words on a page—it becomes life to your soul.

Take this pause with us, and let the power of God’s Word renew your spirit today.
