  • Ep 49 - Holy Defiance (“Resurrection Hope” by Aaron Williams)
    Feb 17 2025

    Welcome back to Season 3 of Lyric and Letter: Where Worship Meets The Word! In this brand new season and episode, we dive into "Resurrection Hope" by Aaron Williams, a powerful new worship song that reminds us of Christ’s victory over death and the hope we have because of His resurrection. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live in holy defiance—not through our own strength, but by standing firm in the resurrection power of Jesus.

    In This Episode:

    • Discover how Moses’ journey from hesitation to boldness shows us that God develops us over time, leading us step by step into deeper trust.

    • Explore 1 Corinthians 15:57-58, where Paul calls us to stand firm in the victory of Christ, and Ephesians 1:18-20, which reminds us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in us.

    • Hear my personal testimony of how God resurrected me from spiritual death and how He continues to lead me through a process of healing and transformation.

    • Learn how gratitude and worship flow naturally from a life surrendered to God, even when we’re still in the process of becoming spiritually alive again.

    • Take away reflection questions to help you lean into God’s resurrection power and step into holy defiance in your own life.

  • Ep 48 - I AM With Us ("Silent Night" sung by Lucy and Martha Thomas)
    Dec 24 2024

    Welcome to this special Christmas Eve episode of Lyric and Letter! Tonight, we reflect on the profound truth of Christmas: the eternal I AM—the God of the burning bush—has come to dwell with us as Emmanuel, God with us.

    Through the glow of candlelight and the timeless melody of Silent Night, we’ll journey into the holiness of this night and explore how the same God who spoke to Moses in the wilderness stepped into our world in Bethlehem.

    In this Episode:

    • Experience the sacred beauty of Christmas Eve candlelight services and the story behind Silent Night.
    • Journey through Exodus 3 with dramatized excerpts from The Prince of Egypt, immersing you in Moses’ encounter with I AM.
    • Reflect on how the light of the burning bush became the light of the world, bringing God’s holiness and presence into our lives.
    • Enter a time of worship and prayer, closing with a stunning rendition of Silent Night by Lucy and Martha Thomas.


    This Christmas Eve, let the story of I AM With Us fill your heart with wonder and hope. The God who revealed Himself as holy and unapproachable to Moses has come near to us in Jesus, offering His light and love to all.

    Don’t miss Lucy and Martha Thomas’s beautiful performance of Silent Night to close this reflective time together.

  • Ep 47 - Resilient Worship ("Hard-Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake)
    Nov 27 2024

    Welcome back to Lyric and Letter! This final episode of Season 2 brings us to the heart of what it means to worship God through struggles and triumphs. Inspired by Brandon Lake’s “Hard-Fought Hallelujah,” we’ll explore the transformative power of resilient worship—praise that rises from broken places and leads us into deeper surrender and trust.

    As we close out this season, we’re reminded that hallelujah is more than a word—it’s a choice, an act of faith, and a declaration of God’s goodness in every season.


    In this Episode:

    • Unpack the deep meaning of hallelujah as both an invitation and a declaration rooted in God’s faithfulness.
    • Reflect on the lives of Job, David, Jacob, and Paul, whose stories show us how worship can be a powerful act of trust amid life’s storms.
    • Discover how “Hard-Fought Hallelujah” lyrics echo these biblical truths, offering an invitation to bring God our most honest and raw praise.
    • Engage with reflection questions to help you find your hallelujah this Thanksgiving and beyond.
