#523: "A Seat at the Table" by Michelle Nezat
Send us a text This week, I’m celebrating the first birthday of my novel, A Seat at the Table. Just as the songs I feature each week point readers back to Scripture, I wrote my book to do the same. Joy’s story may be fictional, but the truths she wrestles with are very real. Together, let’s use elements of her journey to launch us into Scripture as we consider the authority of God’s Word and how we can apply it to our lives. In this episode, we dive into David’s story in 1 Chronicles. At firs...

#522: "Can't Steal My Joy” by Josiah Queen
Send us a text Have you ever felt like your joy was slipping away — stolen by circumstances, injustice, or waiting for God to move? Josiah Queen’s song “Can’t Steal My Joy” declares a deeper truth: the joy God gives isn’t tied to what’s happening around us, and the world can’t take away what it didn’t give. This week on More Than a Song, we’re exploring the book of Habakkuk — a short but powerful conversation between a prophet and God about violence, injustice, confusion, and ultimately, unw...

#520: “Your Way’s Better” by Forrest Frank
Send us a text Forrest Frank’s viral song “Your Way’s Better” is catchy, AND its lyrics point us to a deeper truth worth slowing down to consider: God’s way truly is better. From Paul’s letter to the Romans to Israel’s wilderness experiences, Scripture shows us over and over again the futility of choosing our own way over God’s way. This week on More Than a Song, we’ll explore Romans 10 and discover how clinging to our own efforts can keep us from the righteousness that only comes through Chr...

#519: "What An Awesome God” by Phil Wickham
Send us a text Phil Wickham took a Rich Mullins classic chorus and breathed new life into it with his song What An Awesome God. This chorus has stood the test of time because it is rooted in solid theology. On this episode, we’ll explore Scripture that confirms the truths we sing—that our God is awesome, that He reigns from heaven, and that He reigns with wisdom, power, and love. Key Points Why theology (study of God) should always lead to doxology (praise)Using the BITE of making a list to u...

Send us a text Have you ever been in a wilderness season for an extended period of time? I’m in one now, and Jamie MacDonald’s song Desperate resonated deeply with me.

#516: "Unashamed" by Matthew West
Send us a text We often think standing unashamed for our faith means making bold, public declarations—but what if it starts in private, consistent, quiet obedience?

Discover how a heart resolved in private can stand firm in public…even in the fire or before the lions. Key Points When Paul says he is “unashamed of the gospel,” he ...

#515: "In The Waiting” by Summit Worship
Send us a text We love the miracle moments—the breakthrough, the answered prayer, the clear direction. But what about the space between deliverance and destination—the “in-between”? Inspired by Summit Worship’s "In The Waiting" and the Israelites’ journey through the wilderness, this episode of More Than a Song explores what God may be teaching us when the waiting feels long and the water tastes bitter. Could it be that in the in-between, God isn’t absent...He’s just getting personal? Key Poi...

But the song made me ask, "How do we get so far from God in the first place?"

#506: “lowest of lows” by Josiah Queen
Send us a textGod, the Author, chose to show rather than tell us how far He would go to redeem His people. Consider the highest of highs, where Jesus came from, and the lowest of lows, where he descended to lay His head in a pile of straw. Josiah Queen sings about this in his song, "lowest of lows." This sent me to explore Scriptures that detail Jesus went to humble Himself and why.We're going to spend some time on a letter from Paul. But don't worry. We'll swing back into the Christmas story...
