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.
This morning’s playlist includes lots of new songs from Rend Collective, Chris McClarney, MoveSomebody and a bunch from Matt Redman’s new release “Let There Be Wonder”! Plus, clips from my recent conversation with Cory Asbury. (You can hear the whole thing on the Praise & Worship Podcast, Episode 5)! I do have his very latest, the acoustic rendition of “The Father’s House” in today’s lineup.
Plus, some little song sets with encouraging reminders in the lyrics, focusing on God moving even in the winter season of our lives — and his new mercies and great faithfulness.
Today’s lineup features an excellent variety of ADJECTIVES in the lyrics, describing God in so many ways: Matchless, Wonderful, Extravagant, Amazing, Great, Fascinating, Breathtaking and Indescribable (to name a few).
New in 2020: more ways to connect with Praise & Worship on WJTL!

This morning’s lineup is special. It’s a Breakthrough Theme! These songs are powerful — helping us to sing our way through impossible situations. If you’re in one, or know someone who is, I hope you receive a boost of confidence that God gets our victory before the battle begins. Proceed with praise and faith!
Praying you are encouraged—and that your breakthrough is coming soon!
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” –Romans 12:12 (NIV)
“Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!”–Romans 15:13 (MSG)
