About this listen
The principles and process of songwriting are universal in the world of music. The same ingredients are required to put a song together, and it doesn't matter whether it's a secular song or a gospel song. What does matter is that the end product of a finished song is achieved.
So many Christians love the idea of worshipping God with a song. Some would like to write and sing the songs being birthed in their hearts to the Lord. However, a large proportion lack the confidence to do so, some lack a supportive environment that encourages their creativity, some believe it is too difficult etc. After 26 years of writing all kinds of gospel-centric songs, I believe this is one area that I can help others in developing their innate skill.

Maybe you knew how much something would hurt, but you said it anyway because it felt good in the moment. Maybe you’re fighting a habit of complaining or yelling, when you really want to be a person who speaks with kindness and patience. Or maybe you stay silent because you’re never quite sure what to say. Whatever your “maybe” may be, you are in the right place. As a wife, mom, and the creator of the popular Modern Farmhouse Family Instagram, Sarah Molitor has learned firsthand that yes, words can hurt―but they can also help and heal.

While there are many books about writing, none deal firsthand with the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity. In Adorning the Dark, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life: serving the work, serving the audience, selectivity, discernment, discipline, and community. Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists but for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation.

The burning question in the thoughts and on the lips of so many Christians is this: “How do I hear the voice of God?” As someone with decades of experience, Matthew has spoken to God for most of his life. In this book, he unpacks his years of knowledge and wisdom on this subject. God had been leading Matthew to write on this topic for years, yet he did not follow through with that directive until a stranger approached him and offered to pay for the production of the book full of questions about hearing from God.

Changing Your World: The Effect of Praise on Our Surroundings takes listeners into the sanctuary where they receive teaching that creates a desire to learn how to change their world by worshiping the Lord with passion and priority. Unpacking Psalm 84, Bill Johnson teaches what it means to long for God with our entire body, soul, and spirit: “How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God” (vs. 1-2).

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.
