Moments of Worship

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how a polite “congrats” can hide a tug of envy underneath?

Send us Fan Mail What if your most polished words and boldest sacrifices still sounded like a gong? We kick off a new series on 1 Corinthians 13 by asking a hard question with a hopeful answer: why do gifts, knowledge, and even mountain-moving faith count for nothing without love—and how do we change that? We read and reflect on Paul’s piercing lines about tongues of men and angels, prophetic powe...

Send us Fan Mail A tiny tech mishap. A bigger heart check. We open our week with a clear, urgent reminder from 1 Corinthians 10:31: whatever we do—on stage, at work, around the table—must aim at the glory of God. A misfired Pro Tools cue and a few honest memories of onstage stumbles become more than anecdotes; they turn into a lens for how pride creeps in and how God, in kindness, keeps us low so...
