Welcome to the very first episode of The Wake Up My Daughters Podcast! In this season, we’ll explore six powerful Hebrew words that reveal different ways to worship God with our whole hearts, bodies, and lives.
Today, we begin with Yadah—a bold and beautiful word meaning to extend the hands in praise. Inspired by Psalm 138:1–2, this episode invites you to worship more intentionally and freely, even if lifting your hands feels vulnerable or unfamiliar.
Together, we reflect on what it means to worship with all your heart—not just with words, but with your posture, your surrender, and your life. Through a scripture song, personal devotional, and guided prayer, I encourage you to step into deeper worship and trust God with your whole self.
Whether lifting hands comes naturally to you or feels uncomfortable, this episode meets you right where you are—because worship is a choice we can make daily, even in the midst of distractions and “gods” competing for our attention.
