Many of the songs we sing at church have a story. I think of them kind of like a banner flown after a battle is fought and won. The writer has been through so much to get to the point where they can sing those words! So, join me to hear the worship leaders tell their stories on the Praise & Worship Podcast.
Whether you’re a worship leader, or someone who loves to worship, knowing these stories brings the songs to life even more and gives us even more reason to sing!
Good morning! Today’s lineup includes an Alive & Breathing mini theme! Plus, new releases from Kari Jobe, Mack Brock and We The Kingdom. See the playlist below.

Gateway is celebrating their 20th anniversary! One of the posts remembers Kari Jobe’s first anthem “Revelation Song”–over 16 years old now!
The other night, my husband Sam was praying and thanked God for the good plans He has in store for us, for a hope and future. He also thanked God for keeping His promises. It was such a needed and encouraging reminder to me, and I wanted to pass it on to you in song! So, this week’s playlist includes a “Plans & Promises” theme with songs like “Hope & A Future”, “Yes and Amen”, “Promises Never Fail” and more. Click here for the highlight version on Spotify!
I also have songs and stories from the artists in clips from the latest episodes of the Praise & Worship Podcast.

Episode 13 features special guest, Kim Walker-Smith! She’s a powerhouse vocalist, and also a total natural at sharing her heart from the deep topics like music and Jesus to lighter material like coffee and camping! She joined me to talk about her brand new LIVE worship album, Wild Heart, due out August 14. There are interesting stories about the recording of this project (and the many LIVE plants involved on stage!) She also shares about the timing of this release and meaningful songs from the record. I also really enjoyed hearing about the photo shoot for the album artwork, and how that ties into her other projects and childhood. As a mom, I loved hearing about Kim’s kids (and seeing her daughter here and there on screen during the interview!) Watch the IGTV video interview here!
Today’s playlist includes brand new songs from Hillsong Young & Free, David Leonard and Sarah Kroger–along with the latest from Mack Brock, Kim Walker-Smith, Shane & Shane, Rebecca St. James and more.

God bless you as you open your heart and mouth and bring your praise before our awesome God!
