Podcast #141: “Chain Breaker” by Zach Williams

Presenting the Chain Breaker in Isaiah 61

I wish I would take God at His Word. You know, REALLY take Him at His Word. When Jesus stood in the synagogue and unfurled the scroll and read about Himself out of Isaiah 61, He declared, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” The audience present didn’t get it then and I don’t think we FULLY understand it now. Zach William’s song “Chain Breaker” does a great job of reminding us…and inspiring us to find it for ourselves in Scripture.

Podcast #139: “Son of David” by Ghost Ship

Benefiting From the Story of Blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10

A lyric lodged itself in my mind a few weeks ago that I couldn’t shake. It worked out okay, because it wasn’t one of those cheesy advertising jingles, it was directly from Scripture. I used the song, “Son of David” by Ghost Ship to guide me to Mark 10 and a great story with more tucked in it than you would imagine.

Podcast #127: “Clean” by Natalie Grant

Washing for Restoration in 2 Kings 5

We all have hidden places in us that seem “too dirty” to bring into the light. God’s Word washes us to make us holy in His sight. Unfortunately, we avoid the very solution that can bring cleansing and healing, oftentimes because we expected a different solution.

Naaman was like this, and we read about him in 2 Kings 5. Head with me over there this week!

Podcast #125: “Run Devil Run” by Crowder

Suiting up for Battle in Ephesians 6

I’m sick and tired of being a prisoner of war. I’m ready to send my enemy running for the hills, aren’t you? Crowder, in his new song “Run Devil Run,” inspired me to create a strategy against the devil. It’s all laid out for us in Scripture.

It’s time to get serious about our strategy against a very real enemy. Are you ready?

Podcast #120: “Great Is Our God” by Plumb

Slowing Down in Psalm 145

The Bible is full of songs of praise. When we consider the words of these songs, we see deep, rich, pattern-altering examples of how to appropriately respond to our great God. The lyrics of “Great Is Our God” by Plumb are reflected in a song written by David and given to us as Psalm 145.

Sometimes we blow past these meaningful songs without letting them sink in and transform the way we think. This week we will slow down.
