Rend Collective drummer, Gareth Gilkeson, is my guest on the Praise & Worship Podcast (Episode 8)! He shares how his family is doing during the quarantine, and how his band is still on a mission to give people a reason to celebrate. Their new record, “Choose To Worship”, is jam-packed with songs to help you stand and sing through painful seasons. Keep your ears peeled for Gareth’s tips on leading worship through a screen, and what Rend Collective is creating for churches.

Happy Sunday!
Even though we’re not gathering to celebrate, today is a special occasion. It’s Palm Sunday! Listen in and sing along with me: songs of hosanna and hallelujah to the King!

I hope you are well, and pray you stay well. 

Be encouraged as you choose to worship,

Today is the 3rd Sunday in a row that my family watched our church service from home. These weeks have involved new adjustments along with a lot to process. You can probably relate! Songs are helping. I heard from lots of friends about what they’re singing these days during this week’s #worshipleaderwednesday conversation on social media. And I caught up with worship leader, Jared Anderson, to find out how he and his large family are impacted by the Coronavirus. They’re on official lockdown in Colorado. I asked him about his song picks for this season, too. He’s been going LIVE on social media each evening for Nights of Song (6-7 Eastern), sometimes with a friend or family members. I loved that Jared shared his heart and mind, and that he’s sharing the gift of music as an offering to help others while also steadying his family. I also 100% love that Jared is fun to talk with and lives in a colorful home!

Episode 7 also features Neal Harmon, CEO of VidAngel: a filtering service with access to familiar titles and original content, allowing you to skip the stuff you’d otherwise fast-forward and mute. That’s good news if you need a laugh from Dry Bar Comedy or are looking for something spiritual for the family like The Chosen. You may have heard about this first-ever multiple-episode tv series based on the life of Jesus and the impact he had on those closest to him. My husband and I recently binged it. So, as a fan, I was eager to geek about about with Neal. Listen to the podcast to find out when season 2 is coming out – and how it’s being affected by the Coronavirus. Plus, Neal shares his favorite character and scene, and some fun stories behind-the-scenes.

I hope you’re hanging in there. This morning’s playlist has songs of peace for times of trouble. And I had a little help from my friends (on social media)! We were talking about the songs we’re singing to get through this storm for #WorshipLeaderWednesday, and there were so many good ones mentioned in the comments on Facebook and Instagram. Plus, episode 7 of the Praise & Worship Podcast is up on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Soundcloud, featuring Jared Anderson. He shared his song picks for this season—and I have them in today’s lineup.

Hi!  
What a week…I hope you’re doing well. It’s definitely a lot to process, with new things to balance in daily life. I’ve found songs are a big help in steadying my heart on God. Some lyrics are perfect reminders that He is faithful, victorious and dependable.
I thought songs for this season were in order for today’s playlist. That goes for our current circumstances, and also the recent end of winter and start of spring! The playlist is below. I pray it encourages you.

Hello! I hope you and your family are doing well. There’s a lot going on, and it can be very easy to feel overwhelmed. So, I have a special theme for this morning: songs of wholehearted trust and unshakeable peace.  The lineup includes songs based on popular Bible verses like Psalm 23, Psalm 91, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6 and Lamentations 3:22-23. We’ll focus on His goodness in keeping His promises—and we’ll remember: He is still in control.

Episode 6 features special guest Tiffany Hammer of Elevation Worship. I caught up with her over FaceTime while she was at The Batch Maker, her go-to coffee shop in Charlotte, NC. Hear what she orders. She told me highlights of her weekend, including Valentine’s Day and Elevation Church‘s 14th birthday. Plus, we talk about her musical family with PA roots, how she got involved at Elevation Church, the writing process of the song “Never Lost”, what songs she and her congregation are into lately, her role in the process of launching Elevation Rhythm and what she’d splurge on if someone gave her some spending money!
