Are you prepared to navigate the complexities of finding truth in these uncertain times? In our latest episode, we promise a heartfelt and thought-provoking discussion on the critical practice of discerning truth and remaining steadfast in your faith. We kick things off with an important update regarding the Open Waters worship schedule, explaining why we’ve shifted our worship nights to the first Saturday of each month at 2 pm, and how this change aims to better serve our community while considering holiday breaks. Our commitment to incorporating more biblical foundations into our content is stronger than ever, as we stress the importance of staying true to scriptural teachings amidst widespread misinformation.
What if you could distinguish the voice of the Holy Spirit from your own feelings in a world brimming with conflicting information? We delve into this essential practice, reflecting on the wisdom from James 1:6-8 and the dangers of double-mindedness. We explore the instability it brings and underscore the necessity of having a solid foundation in faith, centered on God's kingdom and abiding in Him, as illustrated in John 15. By staying connected to the Lord, we can navigate through doubt and uncertainty with clarity and confidence, fostering a deeper connection to divine truth.
Finally, we highlight the profound impact of remaining tethered to truth in worship. Abiding in Jesus, as described in John 15 and John 17, empowers us to bear good fruit and spread His truth effectively. For worship leaders, this connection is crucial, as their spiritual clarity directly impacts their leadership and the worship experience of their community. As we wrap up, we express our gratitude to our listeners, encouraging them to share their thoughts and stay connected with us. We send our love, blessings, and prayers to everyone tuning in, and eagerly look forward to continuing this journey of faith and truth together.

Ever wondered about the dynamic world of worship and how it can transform your spiritual journey? Tune in to our milestone 50th episode where we're joined by Manny from the Worshiping Musician School. Together, we reflect on our incredible journey, sharing profound insights into the essence of worship, the importance of activation, and the critical need for believers to move beyond passivity. Manny sheds light on how active engagement within the body of Christ can lead to a more fulfilling and impactful faith experience.
In this special episode, we unravel the fascinating distinctions between spontaneous worship and prophetic worship. Imagine the creative flow of jazz improvisation—that’s what spontaneous worship is like. Manny and I discuss how this unrehearsed, responsive form of worship allows worshippers to connect deeply with the Holy Spirit, transforming worship experiences. Through real-life examples and scriptural insights, we emphasize how spontaneous worship can bring peace and healing, enhancing the overall congregational engagement.
Prophetic worship, on the other hand, is more intentional and specific, often involving direct messages or revelations from God. We dive into its scriptural foundations, highlighting the importance of spiritual authority and discernment. Manny’s poignant explanations and heartfelt prayers for musicians and worship leaders provide a comprehensive understanding of how prophetic and spontaneous worship can coexist. This enriching conversation is aimed at fostering deeper connections with God and enriching faith communities through thoughtful, scripture-aligned worship practices. Don’t miss out on this transformative discussion!

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to live a life of worship beyond just the music? In our 48th episode of the Open Waters Podcast, we're excited to share some personal milestones, including a graduation and an unforgettable Open Waters worship event. Josiah recounts a moving moment he experienced at church, where he felt a profound sense of love for everyone around him, seeing them through God's eyes. This experience sparks a deep and heartfelt discussion about the true essence of worship—loving others genuinely and living a life that reflects this divine love.
We explore how worshiping God goes beyond traditional settings and permeates every aspect of our daily lives. Taking cues from Jesus' interactions with Mary, Martha, and the woman at the well, we emphasize the importance of compassion, empathy, and being present. By slowing down and being available for God's work, we can notice those around us and make meaningful connections, all while maintaining healthy boundaries. This chapter highlights how to balance acts of love and the sacrifices they might require without placing ourselves at a disadvantage.
To wrap up, we recount an inspiring story of faith, where a young boy's unwavering belief helped lead an atheist towards accepting Jesus. This leads into a broader discussion on the importance of balancing vertical and horizontal worship, and how loving others is an integral part of this balance. We also touch on the role of prophetic worship and the power of authentic worship in touching hearts. Our episode concludes with an encouraging message about divine calling and the assurance of purpose, reminding listeners to stay faithful to God's guidance and the transformative power of worship. Tune in for an episode brimming with love, hope, and inspiring stories that underscore the profound impact of living a life of worship.

Welcome to this weeks podcast episode, where an earring decides to fly solo right as we're unpacking the powerful Hebrew words for praise, 'Shabach' and 'Zamar.' Embark with us on a lively journey into these expressions of worship, where loud exuberance and the strumming of instruments take center stage, drawing parallels to an archer's focused intent. We even stir up the debate on Christian perspectives regarding musical instruments in worship - because let's face it, not every hymn needs an organ, right?
With Josiah's wisdom gracing our conversation, we invite you into an honest reflection of what true praise looks like within various church atmospheres. It's not about the spectacle, but aligning with the Holy Spirit's presence. And because life isn't all high notes, we navigate through the valleys of divine discipline, embracing its refining fire. So, get ready to be inspired to infuse your worship with authenticity and to face adversity with a heart of gratitude. Share in our anticipation for the revealing of the final two words in our praise series, and don't forget to drop your thoughts and topic suggestions - let's keep this spiritual exchange vibrant and meaningful!

Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit direct your praise and His direction compel your hands skyward? Prepare to be stirred as we explore the transformative power of worship in its most dynamic forms. We say farewell to our familiar "More About Us" segment, but the connection deepens here in the Open Waters podcast. Join us at New Creation Church or dive into the discussion online as we navigate the profound Hebrew concepts of 'Yadah' and 'Todah'—praise that embodies surrender and the anticipation of blessings not yet seen.
This episode is a heartfelt invitation to experience worship that transcends the private sphere and steps boldly into the public domain. From the childlike abandon championed by King David to the victorious battle cries of Jehoshaphat's army, we trace the threads of uninhibited praise and its role in spiritual warfare. Discover how your own expressions of faith can be both a personal fortress and a communal beacon, shining brightly as we gather in His name, even in the most isolated of times.
We close with a fervent call to action: let us not confine our worship to the shadows but bring it forth into the light of day, reclaiming joy and planting the flag of God's presence in every place we tread. As we share stories, scripture, and a prayer for boldness, you're invited to join us in transforming the ordinary into a living testament of faith. After all, isn't the world in need of a bit more heaven on earth?
