In this podcast, Marci sits down with one of our favorite Christian artists, Megan Woods, for an honest and encouraging conversation about faith, music, and learning to trust God through every season of life.

Megan recently released her powerful new song, “Heaven Down Here,” and we talk about the heart behind the song and what it means to look for glimpses of heaven in the middle of everyday life. Megan also takes us back to the beginning of her journey in music, sharing how her passion for music developed and the experiences that helped shape her as an artist. But one of the most memorable moments of the conversation is the story of how her mom was searching for hopeful music during a difficult time and discovered Casting Crowns. That discovery had a profound impact on her mom’s life, and ultimately became an important influence on Megan’s own faith and musical journey.

Throughout the interview, Megan opens up about what God is teaching her right now, including the ongoing process of learning to trust Him more and more. She also shares about the importance of seeking wise counsel and surrounding ourselves with people who can offer godly wisdom, encouragement, and perspective.

It’s a conversation filled with stories of God’s faithfulness, the power of music, and the ways He can use a song—or even an unexpected discovery—to change a life.

Make sure to stay tuned to Your Network of Praise, where you’ll hear Megan Woods’ new song, “Heaven Down Here” on the radio, online at ynop.org, or on the YNOP Mobile App.

Your Network of Praise has an update for you! Roger Lonnquist shared about God's faithfulness through all these years. He continues to ask for prayer for our YNOP and New Life Africa staff. Several of them have had a really difficult year, and with Prayer Time happening every day at 9:30a (mountain time), he also recognizes that so many of our listeners are also walking through struggles right now. We are so grateful that YNOP continues to be able to share encouragement and hope to those who need it.  It's only possible because of the prayers and financial support of our listeners.. so thank you!

This Network Update also covers a new effort to speed up the process of providing biblically sound, reliable teaching to those who currently have NO Bible text in their own languages. YNOP & New Life Africa Networks have launched a new ministry, The Bible Basics, which is directly dealing with the problem of Bible Poverty. Find more information on that in this podcast, & on our website!

Every week, Roger shares what's happening across Your Network of Praise, and this week's Network Update is full of reasons to celebrate!

It’s a wild, relentless love that pursues every single one of us."

 Peter Burton is a new artist on Your Network of Praise, but his song "Where Would I Be" has been a favorite for a while now. He recently sat down with Marci to talk about his start in music, which included touring with Lincoln Brewster! He has a new song out now called 'So Long' and it's another very personal song to Peter where he sings SO LONG to anxiety, shame, regret...
If you've struggled with those mental prisons, you are not alone. Peter has some great insights on how he's surrendered those battles over to Jesus, and gives Him glory for the sustaining. Enjoy this conversation, we hope it encourages you today.
