It has been such a joy to spend this spring with you on the podcast, as we’ve come around my new album, “Captivate Us; Live from Keeper’s Branch!” I’ve loved remembering the stories and truths behind these songs! And today, we’ll come around one that Nathan and I wrote as a genuine prayer for our family during an election year! “A Mighty Fortress” …

In celebration of the full ALBUM RELEASE “Captivate Us” (available tomorrow, everywhere you listen to music!) we are going to come around this tried and true song that still carries so much heart and history in my story! This song is very descriptive of who Jesus is, even describing His face, His eyes, His hands, His loving arms—and though we don’t…

It has been SO beautiful to get to share these songs (and stories behind the songs!) but most importantly, the truth imbedded in them! Today we are going to look at “For Your Splendor,” a new version of a tried and true song that is deeply personal to me. I’d even venture to say that it’s quintessential when it comes to my sound and heart as a wors…

I have LOVED this spring series so much! God has been reminding me of truth that He set in my heart, so long ago, knowing that I would need that truth to wash over me again, TODAY! We are going to remember together, that God always knows where to find us. Though there’s much temptation to just skip being made in the secret place (especially when we…

Today we are celebrating the release of another EP called “Knees to the Earth,” which is the next three songs from the "Live from Keeper's Branch" album that we are unfolding this spring! Not only are these songs so sacred to us, many of them have very sacred stories behind them and today’s song emphasis, “Knees to the Earth,” is definitely one of …

Okay so…somehow this episode got really personal! Did I actually just reveal what I want my “Grandma” name to be, someday? Or, maybe it feels personal because this song, “Lord, I Need You”, that we’ll come around today, is very dear to me! I’ll talk about being a part of writing it around a table of dear friends, who have been more like brothers to…

I am so excited to continue this spring series, coming around my new EP, “You Revive Me”, available everywhere you listen to music!

Today we will do just that, as we come aroun…

It has been so beautiful to get to release some new, yet familiar—even tried and true songs—in this season! One of those is the song, “Breathe” paired with another beloved song, “Let it Be Jesus.” Today, I’ll take you back to the seasons I was in when I first began to sing and lead both of these beautiful songs. They were very significant seasons i…

Today we will kick off a spring series in celebration of NEW (but familiar!) music—my EP “You Revive Me”, releases THIS WEEK wherever you listen to music! I’ve named today’s episode “Up ‘Till Now”, because this album (that will continue to unfold throughout the spring) feels like an Ebenezer moment, to stop and say, “Up ‘till now, the Lord has been…

Okay, so this one made me weepy! Today we’ll be in Psalm 118 which is a part of the Hallel—a collection of six Psalms (113-118) that have been sung and recited on joyous occasions and festivals all throughout Israel’s history. We’ll remember together that Jesus would have sung these very Psalms as a little boy, as well as his disciples, and Psalm 1…
  continue reading
 
Today we’re in beautiful Psalm 19 where we’ll remember together that God set revelation in the heavens that is pouring out promise over us day and night, night and day! This kind of framework, His order, His heart, His way, postures us to look into His rules, even His boundaries for us. To heed their warning—yes—but to also know the great reward in…

Today I’m going to tell you about some home renovations that Nate and I have embarked on this summer, just to let you in on a little bit of our world and the DIY adventures that we find ourselves swimming in!

Last week we talked about a holy resolve, when we have a shift in perspective upon remembering what is TRUE about God, about ourselves and the world around us. This week we’re going to sit in a bit of a holy tension together in Psalm 88, which is a passage that’s not easy to get comfy in! But I am so excited to tell you that we have a VERY special …

I’m SO THRILLED that the SUMMER IN THE PSALMS series is back! I have needed this in my own life!! The lazy days of summer can be wonderful, but I find that it’s easy to drift from my rhythm of staying grounded in truth if I’m not careful. I hope this series meets you right on time in the same way! Today we’ll look at Psalm 73 together. It’s about a…

Today I’m so excited to get to come around the song “Valor”, one of my favorite songs from my new album, “This is the Hour,” available everywhere you listen to music. This song rose up in me in a season where I began to realize that the hardships, the pain, and what felt like relentless trials were not for nothing. In fact, they would afford me som…

VALOR // This beautiful word… I’ve come to embrace it like a friend. It’s a personal bravery that is directly tied to, even flows out of our very identity as the Beloved of God. But much like soul rest, it isn’t accomplished by our determination or will — it’s in surrender that Christ’s strength is imparted to us and through us! Join me as I contin…

New Episode Today!! Today we’ll come around these intriguing questions: What if His presence is really His plan for us? And, what if His will for our lives is simply to walk with Him and treasure His “withness” with us more than anything? The longer I live, the more I’m convinced that the mundane really is the platform that God uses to refine us an…

Today we’re going to come around some simple practices— heart postures if you will—that help lead us to unbroken union with God. These postures have helped me to go deep with the Lord even when I’m on the go or only have a limited amount of quiet time. I’ve heard it said, mission is not sustainable without union with God. Whatever it is that we’re …

NEW PODCAST TODAY!! Today I’m going to introduce a NEW SONG that is hands-down my favorite song that God has stirred in me yet. It’s that precious to me!

This Psalm is so near and dear to my heart! In fact, Nathan and I wrote a song based around this Psalm when we were still just dating. David models for us in this passage what it looks like to take refuge in God and let Him hide us and heal us but he’s also showing us something so important to pursue during seasons of hardship! I think there are so…

I pray that these Psalms for Summer’s End have caused you to slow down and remember who and Whose you are in an otherwise very busy season! Today we’re in Psalm 1 , which has always connected me to Jeremiah 17, a passage that God used several years ago to pretty much break my heart open! I share about that pruning moment as we look at why these two…
