After a five-week sabbatical, Joe and Shelli return to Sunday Reverb with renewed gratitude and a heart full of praise. This week’s featured hymn, “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing,” captures the overflow of worship that follows a life changed by grace. Joe reads the hymn’s powerful history, and together they reflect on the truths found in Charles Wesley’s lyrics—freedom in Christ, the power of His name, and the joy of proclaiming His praise.

Join in as they share stories from their time away, insights from Sunday’s service, and an invitation to let your life become one more “tongue” in the song of redemption.

Why does Moses, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, find it necessary to record Israel’s failures? This week we look at Numbers 25 and learn that God’s mercy abounds but we are not to continue in sin.

🔥 This week on Sunday Reverb, Joe and Shelli welcome two special guests from the young adults worship ministry—Ethan Kuder and Courtney Doss—to talk about the modern worship anthem Build Your Kingdom Here by Rend Collective.

Together we explore what it really means to ask God to “set Your church on fire,” why Christ alone builds His kingdom, and how this song becomes a prayer for revival in our hearts, homes, and community.

Be encouraged: God’s kingdom isn’t about earthly power, but transformed lives through the gospel. 🙌

In this episode of Sunday Reverb, Joe and Shelli reflect on the beloved hymn At Calvary, a favorite of Pastor Mark’s father, Stan Doss. They share the story of William Newell’s powerful testimony, connect the lyrics to Romans 5:8, and tie it to Pastor Mark’s recent message on suffering from 1 Peter 4. Together, they highlight how mercy and grace meet us at the cross and why this hymn still resonates so deeply today.

This week we reflect on the hymn I Am Thine, O Lord (Draw Me Nearer) by Fanny Crosby and the powerful reminder from 1 Peter 4:7–11 to live each day as if it were our last. From Crosby’s Scripture-saturated life to the sunset moment that inspired this hymn, we see how drawing near to Christ leads us to pray diligently, love deeply, forgive freely, give gladly, and serve unselfishly.

We’re coming to you from Nashville, TN at the Sing! Conference! In this special episode, Joe, Shelli, Pastor Mark, and Karen dive into the story and Scripture behind the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. From Robert Robinson’s dramatic conversion under George Whitefield to the lyrics that confess both our tendency to wander and God’s unending grace, this conversation points us back to the streams of mercy that are still flowing today.

This week on Sunday Reverb, Joe and Shelli dive into the classic hymn Victory in Jesus. Together they explore the incredible story of its writer, Eugene Bartlett, who penned the song in weakness after a devastating stroke, yet pointed to the eternal hope we have in Christ. Pastor Mark’s recent message from 1 Peter 4:1–6, Thinking Like Jesus, ties in perfectly as they reflect on the cost of sin, the gift of grace, and the hope of heaven. Along the way, they share family updates, the youth building nearing completion, and an unforgettable church family night with 65 baptisms. They also look ahead to the upcoming Sing! Conference in Nashville, where they’ll revisit the city where their story began. Join in as they celebrate the victory that is ours in Christ Jesus.

This week on Sunday Reverb, Joe and Shelli dive into the story behind Fanny Crosby’s beloved hymn “Blessed Assurance.” Though blind from infancy, Fanny lived with unshakable joy and trust in Christ, echoing the truth of Romans 8:38–39—that nothing can separate us from God’s love. We’ll reflect on Psalm 40:3 and the power of praise in every season, and consider the deep hope and security we share in Christ. Join us as we celebrate the blessed assurance that Jesus is ours—our story, our song, forever.

This week, Joe and Shelli reflect on Run to the Father—sung in Spanish as it was during June’s Belize mission trip—and the Great Commission from Matthew 28:18–20. Together, they explore how the song’s invitation to come to God “again and again” mirrors Christ’s call to make disciples of all nations, and how worship transcends language, culture, and borders.

This week, Joe and Shelli record from the beach—with the sound of ocean waves in the background. While on vacation, they reflect on the song “Power in the Blood” by Rush of Fools and walk through Ephesians 1:7. In just five minutes, you’ll be reminded of the deep, redeeming power of Christ’s blood—securing our redemption, granting forgiveness, and lavishing us with grace.
