Candice Hewitt brings a rich and thought-provoking message for Pentecost Sunday. A couple of highlights worth catching on the podcast:

“Hosanna” — One Word, Two Prayers

Candice unpacked the meaning of hosanna, revealing that this single word carries a dual weight: it is simultaneously a cry of desperation — God, save me — and an expression of praise. One word doing two things at once. It’s a reminder that worship and need aren’t opposites; they can exist in the same breath.

Peace That Defies Explanation

One of the most convicting moments came when Candice challenged the congregation to examine the source of their peace. Her point: if you can explain your peace, it might not be the peace of God. Scripture tells us His peace surpasses all understanding — meaning it operates beyond the reach of logic or reason. So if your calm comes from meditation, a good routine, or anything else you can fully account for, that’s a peace with a human ceiling. The peace God offers has no such limit — and no such explanation.
