On this episode, David Wollen is joined by Dr. Bruce Hindmarsh to reflect on how Newton’s life illustrates the power of God’s amazing grace.

John Newton’s life mirrored the parable of the prodigal son—marked by rebellion, sin, and a long journey home. Yet God’s grace broke through his mess and transformed him into the man behind Amazing Gr

“Amazing Grace… how sweet the sound.” It’s the most famous hymn in the world, yet its story is as surprising as it is powerful.

Why do Christians sing, and how can worship shape our walk with God?

On this episode, David Wollen reflects on how this hymn points us to the joy of abiding in Christ, our true rest.

The beloved hymn Be Still My Soul has carried Christians through trials for centuries, reminding us of the unshakable hope we have in Christ.

The greatest hymns of the faith endure because they wed timeless melodies with the rich truths of God’s Word. Among the modern hymns, In Christ Alone has quickly taken its place as a standard bearer.

Charles Wesley’s hymn And Can It Be was born out of his own dramatic conversion, capturing the wonder of God’s amazing love. Generations later, this hymn still unites the church in awe and worship.

Is anyone beyond the reach of God’s grace? Joseph Hart once lived as if he were. But the Lord took a man marked by sin and despair and turned him into a hymn writer whose words still call sinners to Christ.

Creation itself declares the glory of its Creator. From the Psalms to the hymnbook, God’s people have always lifted their voices in praise for His handiwork.

We remember music long after spoken words fade. That’s why hymns matter—they carry the truth of Scripture into our hearts and lives.

Adoration and worship are inseparable. When we truly see Christ for who He is, both our minds and our hearts are drawn to respond in praise.

For generations, Christian homes treasured two books: the Bible and a hymnal. In today’s digital age, could it be time for the hymnal to make a comeback?

For a great many things, ancient and timeless is better than new and trendy. The great hymns of the faith—old and new—deliver on that because they echo Scripture itself. In this episode, David Wollen traces how a modern hymn from Keith & Kristyn Getty, helps us see the picture Revelation describes as God’s people gather around the throne singing his praise.

From the earliest times in the Bible, believers have sung gospel truth set to melody–-songs both old and new, historic and modern. In our world today, this matters more than ever.

What’s the difference between a worship song and a hymn? It’s getting harder to tell these days, and maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

The habits we practice shape who we become. That includes praying and fasting. But neither will benefit us if we don’t take seriously what Jesus has to say about them.
