In this podcast episode, Dawn, introduces her six-month 'Discern by Doing' e-course aimed at honoring dreams and moving towards them. The discussion then shifts to Richard (a guest on the show), who is a full-time songwriter and Cantor at his church. Richard goes into detail on his fascination with Psalms and how he intricately studies and writes songs based on them, a process he describes as 'chasing magic'.
