Have you ever wondered how to truly hear God's voice during worship or what it means when you feel those spiritual goosebumps? Join us as we embark on a soul-stirring exploration of the profound impact that discerning God's guidance can have on our worship experience, and the importance of moving past the fear of making mistakes and embracing the learning process with faith and grace.

In our discussion, we liken God to a perfect father, guiding us with love and patience much like earthly parents cheer on their toddlers. We delve into the balance between striving for perfection and accepting God's grace, emphasizing the active role of the Holy Spirit in elevating our worship. You'll discover the transformative power of hearing God's voice, from fostering unity and deeper connection within the congregation to experiencing physical manifestations of His presence. We also explore the significance of spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues, and discernment in enriching our worship and edifying the church.

Navigating the challenges of discerning the Holy Spirit's guidance during worship practice can be daunting, but we tackle these head-on with practical advice and personal anecdotes. We encourage worship leaders and congregants alike to step out in faith, learn from their mistakes, and embrace the uncomfortable as part of their spiritual growth. Wrapping up with a heartfelt prayer for healing and self-forgiveness, we invite you to seek God's perspective on your perceived failures and to view them as stepping stones on your journey. Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of how hearing God's voice can transform your worship experience.

Welcome to this weeks podcast episode, where an earring decides to fly solo right as we're unpacking the powerful Hebrew words for praise, 'Shabach' and 'Zamar.' Embark with us on a lively journey into these expressions of worship, where loud exuberance and the strumming of instruments take center stage, drawing parallels to an archer's focused intent. We even stir up the debate on Christian perspectives regarding musical instruments in worship - because let's face it, not every hymn needs an organ, right?

With Josiah's wisdom gracing our conversation, we invite you into an honest reflection of what true praise looks like within various church atmospheres. It's not about the spectacle, but aligning with the Holy Spirit's presence. And because life isn't all high notes, we navigate through the valleys of divine discipline, embracing its refining fire. So, get ready to be inspired to infuse your worship with authenticity and to face adversity with a heart of gratitude. Share in our anticipation for the revealing of the final two words in our praise series, and don't forget to drop your thoughts and topic suggestions - let's keep this spiritual exchange vibrant and meaningful!

Have you ever felt the Holy Spirit direct your praise and His direction compel your hands skyward? Prepare to be stirred as we explore the transformative power of worship in its most dynamic forms. We say farewell to our familiar "More About Us" segment, but the connection deepens here in the Open Waters podcast. Join us at New Creation Church or dive into the discussion online as we navigate the profound Hebrew concepts of 'Yadah' and 'Todah'—praise that embodies surrender and the anticipation of blessings not yet seen.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to experience worship that transcends the private sphere and steps boldly into the public domain. From the childlike abandon championed by King David to the victorious battle cries of Jehoshaphat's army, we trace the threads of uninhibited praise and its role in spiritual warfare. Discover how your own expressions of faith can be both a personal fortress and a communal beacon, shining brightly as we gather in His name, even in the most isolated of times.

We close with a fervent call to action: let us not confine our worship to the shadows but bring it forth into the light of day, reclaiming joy and planting the flag of God's presence in every place we tread. As we share stories, scripture, and a prayer for boldness, you're invited to join us in transforming the ordinary into a living testament of faith. After all, isn't the world in need of a bit more heaven on earth?

As we reach the landmark 42nd episode of Open Water, we find ourselves immersed in a conversation that goes beyond mere belief, delving into the sacred realm of true worship. Imagine standing in a space so raw and real, like 'the barn' we visited, where the essence of worship transforms into an intimate dance with the divine. This episode is not just a recount of that transformative experience, but a shared journey into the heart of worship where the spiritual meets the tangible, influencing not just our faith but the very fabric of our relationships and our sense of home.

Have you ever considered the difference between knowing of someone and deeply knowing them? This distinction is the crux of our discussion, as we attempt to strip away the layers of routine to reveal a personal, familial bond with God. It's an invitation to set aside our 'super spiritual projects' and self-importance, to embrace obedience and understanding of God's character. Here we explore the power of genuine intimacy with the Lord, illuminating how it not only enriches our spiritual lives but seamlessly weaves its way into our daily interactions and the connections we foster within our community.

In the rhythm of our hectic lives, it's tempting to let our time with God slip through our fingers, often in favor of fleeting pleasures or distractions. Yet, this episode is a gentle nudge to re-prioritize, to see the beauty in choosing to spend moments with God. We reveal how this choice, though at times sacrificial, unlocks a freedom that breathes life into our otherwise chaotic existence. With every step toward intentional worship and every effort to incorporate His teachings into our lives, we're on a journey to not just know about God, but to truly know Him—and through that, to discover ourselves. Join us as we share stories, laughter, and insights on creating that sacred space for intimacy with the Almighty.

Have you ever wondered if your habits at church are just that, habits? Or do they stem from a deeper, more intentional place within your soul? As we rekindle memories of our electrifying discussion with Manuel Rodriguez and Lester Herrera in our latest episode, we promise an exploration of why the heart behind our worship matters more than the routine itself. Manuel, with his workshop prowess, and Lester, with sound engineering wisdom, join us to shed light on the nuances of personal tech use and how it ties into our daily expression of faith.

The journey of worship can be likened to a trek through the desert, focusing on the presence of God rather than the final destination. This episode takes you into the heart of what it means to truly worship, encouraging a lifestyle that seeks God's guidance in every decision, big or small. We invite you to ponder the essence of your church attendance and worship practices, asking if they are performed out of genuine desire or mere obligation. Together, we delve into the importance of keeping our eyes on God through all of life's travels, reinforcing that worship is not about the accolades we receive but the glory we give.

As we wrap up, the conversation turns introspective, challenging us to live a life of worship that is intentional, regardless of whether we're in the spotlight or serving quietly behind the scenes. We discuss how a steadfast focus on Jesus shapes our actions and time management, attracting fellow believers who share a passion for purposeful faith. Your engagement is vital to us, and we eagerly await your feedback through social media as we continue to navigate our faith journeys collectively. Join us, be inspired, and perhaps discover how to transform your worship into an intentional act that honors the very heart of God.

Ever wondered why that electric spark of joy and connection seems elusive during worship? Let's unpack the secret to transforming your church experience from a passive attendance to an active, fulfilling act of personal devotion. With heartfelt stories and earnest discussions, we invite you on a journey to redefine what it means to truly serve the Lord. We tackle the tough questions about the source of boredom in church, challenge the pursuit of anointing versus seeking Christ, and reveal how the sacred role of a priest transcends beyond the pulpit and into our daily lives. Embrace the insight that comes from personal revelation as we share anecdotes of persistence in prayer and the intimate power of a secret place with God.

As we serve the Lord, we often forget that our worship isn't just a Sunday routine but a testament to our life's work. This episode brings to light the stark contrast between how we approach our secular jobs and our service to God. Through vulnerable testimonies, we illustrate the beauty and honor in worshiping through our struggles—an act that carries a special weight in this life, unlike any we'll know in eternity. Discover the profound impact of picturing oneself in the divine throne room and how prophetic music can elevate personal worship. With the assurance that God 'keeps receipts' of our faithful service, we're encouraged to persevere in love and duty to the One who remembers every effort we make in His name. Join us as we explore these transformative concepts, and don't miss out on our healing rooms at the Utah House of Prayer, where miracles unfold every Wednesday night.
