In this heartfelt episode of The Walk, Seph Schlueter invites us into the deeper story behind his music and ministry. Known for his viral hit Counting My Blessings, Seph shares how his journey with God has been marked not by platform, but by presence.

From his earliest experiences of God's nearness in worship to the raw wrestlings with identity and surrender, Seph’s devotional reminds us that worship isn't about performance—it's about proximity to Jesus. He reflects on lessons from Scripture, the beauty of obedience, and the spiritual discipline of remaining rooted in daily prayer.

For every worship leader, songwriter, or believer struggling with doubt or chasing recognition, Seph offers a timely encouragement: “You can’t lead people where you haven’t gone.” This devotional is a call back to intimacy.

Choosing Purpose Over Platform: Jeremy Rosado on Obedience, Sacrifice, and God’s Timing

What happens when God calls you to lay down your dream—just as it’s coming true?

In this raw and inspiring devotional, recording artist Jeremy Rosado shares his remarkable journey from national stages (American Idol, The Voice) to full-time fatherhood and back again. Raised in a big Puerto Rican family in Queens and rooted in church choirs since childhood, Jeremy opens up about the moment he walked away from a rising music career to become a single dad—and how that decision deepened his worship, shaped his calling, and prepared him for a new season.

Through Scripture and story, Jeremy reminds us that God’s purpose often leads through the quiet, unseen sacrifices that form us for the platform we’re called to.

You’ll walk away with:

• Courage to choose obedience over opportunity

• A deeper understanding of worship as surrender, not spotlight

• Hope for those in seasons of hidden faithfulness

• Insight on trusting God’s timing when dreams feel delayed

• A fresh reminder that calling isn’t canceled by responsibility

Whether you’re in the middle of a big decision or simply wondering if God still sees you, Jeremy’s story will stir your heart to say yes—even when it costs you everything.
