Have you followed the Lord's direction and felt alone?

Rita didn't expect to raise a child by herself. She thought the Lord would provide a partner to begin a family with. But that didn't happen, and when she stood in the hospital and looked down at her baby boy for the first time, she felt the weight of being a single mother.

How was she going to take care of this baby all alone? How would she teach him what it means to be a man without a father in their home?

In this episode of Worship Is My Weapon, Rita continues her adoption story and shares who she turned to for strength when she felt alone raising her child.

When God called Rita to adopt, she thought that meant she was getting married. Because why would the Lord call her to adopt a child without a husband? 

In this episode of Worship Is My Weapon, Rita shares the first part of her story about adopting as a single woman and how sometimes we stall the journey because our humanity is wrestling with God about the purpose and direction He has called us to go.

What a privilege to have Daniella Mason for a second episode. I felt our conversation was important enough to carry on into a part two and I know you will too. The roar of death is mighty and shaking, especially when it comes from the mouth of someone who's walking out, "To God Be The Glory," regardless of the loss on many sides. This conversation is real, unbridled by posturing, and just full of Jesus and the peace He breathes.

Daniella's countenance is aware, determined, and unflinching as she pursues what God has put on her life. She's going to inspire you. She inspires me.

We're still partnering with Compassion to help end poverty in the lives of as many children as possible. It would mean the world to me if you would find a child to sponsor today-- let's be the hands and feet of Jesus together. Simply click HERE.

Talking to Daniella Mason is like opening a fire-hydrant of testimony. She doesn?t drown you in story or processing, but she does flood you with an undeniable perspective that has been touched by the miraculous hand of God. She loves the Lord fiercely and wields creative excellence in every sphere she touches. 

Her walk and the belief shaped in her through harsh environments, is something we can all learn and glean from. She?s seen enough and she can?t come back from the undeniable truth of who Jesus is. Listen to her music. Listen to her share. She?s a deep well of wisdom and I?m excited to share this conversation with you.

What a joy to have Patrick Mayberry on with me this week! I love this guy and his pastor?s heart. I so relate to his journey and I know you will too. What God has refined in his heart is an invitation for each of us. Will we let the Holy Spirit affirm and permission us to be fully alive in our calling, free from expectations and what we think it ?should? look like? 

So much great ground covered here, but it?s all about believing the bigness of God and aligning our faith with who He is. Scarcity is not God?s option for us, it never has been. Regardless of the type of creativity in you, there?s encouragement and fresh oxygen in this conversation to breathe in.

I?m still so thankful to be partnering with Compassion. They?re truly being the hands and feet of Jesus and meeting poverty head on. If you?d like to change a child?s life forever, starting today, simply click here!

I thought we would do something a little different today. I'd like to just invite you into where I am right now. I'm in the middle of sending my son to college, navigating some life changes, and in a new writing season altogether. So let's think of this as a catch up. This is really an episode for every creative who has felt led to produce or create something God has asked them to  ... and for those same ones who know that it doesn't always look like we think it will. 

Pioneering doesn't always look like financial or commercial success. Obedience doesn't always mean arriving to the destination we think. So today we're talking about what life looks now as a songwriter, as a worshiper and artist, and what I've got in my heart to do. I hope this meets you where you are and breathes some more courage into your sails.

With graduation season upon us and summer in full swing, change is inevitable ... and it feels particularly personal this year. So I wanted to take this episode as an opportunity to talk about letting go. Why? Because that's what the Lord and I have been talking about and I wanted to invite you to our conversation.

Change itself is an invitation and one the Lord extends to us often. So what do we do with it? Currently, I find myself in a place where I'm unwinding and recapturing my identity as it sits with the present, as opposed to what's been or what could be. God's meeting me with unflinching kindness and giving me understanding to navigate waters I've not tread before. So care to hop in with me?

It?s so easy to let the weightiness of life affect what should be second nature to us. Having a great day and someone asks you for a dollar? That?s easy enough. Having a bad day on the heels of a bad week and someone asks you for the same dollar? You might not find yourself at the same answer as easily. But the truth?

Generosity, and the compassion that empowers it, are at the center point of who we?re called to be as believers, who God is, and what He?s called us to extend of ourselves. Each opportunity to be generous, especially when it costs us, is invitation straight from Heaven to know more of Him and His heart. I?m going deep today and I invite you to join me!

So many of us have never known true hunger ? have never been made to beg or steal as a child in order to survive and been arrested and jailed as a result? But Jey has. God met him many years ago out of His goodness and through an integral organization, Compassion.

Listen to his story, but more so, listen to how God can radically meet us through each other.

The Lord's quite wonderful at restoring what was once taken, and doing so in a way only He can. This week, my sister Roxanne is finishing her story and I don't want to give anything away. I just want you to know that regardless of what you're facing now, despite how life and the enemy may be coming against you and your peace right now, God is willing to meet you at every point in every step along the way.

Roxanne has clung to Jesus where so many would easily walk away in heartache. What He's shown her and our family, the peace He's led her with and to, the faith He's honored in her miraculously ... it's awe-inspiring. HE is awe-inspiring, faithful, and truly everything we need and everything we could ever hope to lean on.

My sister is a beautiful woman through and through and I love her very much. I want to be upfront and tell you, you might need a tissue or two for this episode. It's not because it's sad, it's because you can feel the Lord's kindness so tangibly when she tells her story. My sister has known the Lord to be Father, Husband, Provider, and Friend and the way she talks about their relationship? It's simply quite stunning to hear.

I know this conversation is going to build your spirit and faith in some way and I look forward to hearing the stories that come from this powerful testimony. This is part one and we'll be back next week for part two.

Heartbreak and cynicism can be an easy invitation for anyone battling their relationship with the Church. This isn?t new, but it seems to be where the enemy is focusing as of late. That?s why God?s been preparing trustworthy hearts, like Anna Golden, to speak to the purity and power of what God?s given us in serving His bride, the Church. 

This convo has the Holy Spirit coursing throughout and it will leave you challenged to love the one, the ones, and the Church altogether ? I love what Anna says toward the end. With a glisten, some hope, and sureness in her eyes? ?I see rolling hills for the Church.? I do too, Anna.

Mentoring gets a bad rep and honestly? That?s fair. Depending on your experience, that term might feel like control to you. If you?ve had wonderful mentors you might think it the most integral part of your growth. So today, we?re having a conversation about mentoring, the mercy of God, and how to walk well with others.

My guest today is the wonderfully gifted, Dara Maclean. I love her anointing and ability as a worship leader and artist, but I love her passion for mentoring even more. It matters who we?re led by and who, we ourselves, lead. But the bottom line? We need to be poured into and we need to pour into others ? in health.

The beauty of being planted and remaining is not lost on Hannah Hobbs. This is just one of the many things I adore about this worshipper. Although Hannah?s anointing, gifting, and call are stunning to see; they pale in comparison to her faithfulness. 

Hannah has served as a worship pastor at Hillsong Church for years and remains one of the purest hearted writers and leaders I know. I?m honored to have this heart-to-heart with her and to see Jesus? shine in her. She?s a breeze of authenticity and genuineness we could all use.

I love the local church and those who serve in and steward their call to it. Andrew Holt is that beautifully surrendered sort of leader I love to see come along. He worships stunningly, writes wonderfully, and pastors with his whole heart. He allows his relationship with Jesus to genuinely lead every other area of his life, creative gifts included; a rare thing indeed.

If you serve in the Church, this is for you. If you?re a songwriter or creative, this is definitely for you. If you?re someone who simply needs to be inspired by the purity of another?s walk, you?re going to love this chat with Andrew.

An intimate relationship with the Lord doesn't happen on the other side of a seminary degree or working in ministry for a decade. That sort of beautiful relationship develops and deepens as we continually surrender and exchange our plans, hopes, dreams, and talents for the ones He's asked us to use that day. Although that invitation from the Lord isn't often the easiest to accept, its envelope comes gold-dusted. 

Anna Asbury is one of the most beautifully creative, talented, anointed, and surrendered people you'll meet. I'm so excited to have her on with me today. What the Lord has shown and given her through her own refining, story, and creative journey is nothing short of powerful. I know this episode and conversation are going to bless and challenge you. We often talk about what God asks from us in surrender. Today, we're talking about what He GIVES.

I hope this series has been encouraging to you, whether you?re a songwriter, burgeoning creative, or simply someone hungry for more of God. As we round the corner of this specific conversation, I?m sharing a bit about about my experience writing for film. Why? Because God often calls us to steward new lanes of creativity and when we refuse to bring compromise along with us, He moves powerfully.

God wants to do new things and He wants to partner with us and our creativity. How incredible is that? When we burn for the Lord and operate from that burn in our creativity, we can do so brightly wherever He?s called us to put our pen or abilities.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Songwriting Series for a powerful and timely conversation. Let?s talk revival. God clearly wants to, so I do too.

I had to call Lindy Cofer in for this one. I?ve seen what God can do when He moves, but how do we quantify His move when it comes to revival? Where do we look for it? How do we see revival right where we are? 

You don?t want to miss this one. Back to songwriting next week!

Hooks, structure, patterns, and walls - so many components go into building out a great home, a wonderful song. Today, we're talking through some real technical parts of writing, I'll show you one of my favorite songs and talk through it. My hope is to encourage you to dig even deeper in your creative expressions. It's not just about songs though, don't you worry non-songwriters. 

Whatever we put into the world, whether in a song or even in the words we speak, is our point of view consistent? If you're writing worship songs, are you inspiring people or are you being too preachy? Subtlety in our communication, leaning on the Holy Spirit, clearing our agenda and making room for His, all of these things set us up to write, sing, and live out our best songs. 

We're asking some good questions and covering a lot of ground today! 

If you haven't reviewed us or left us five stars, what are you waiting on? ;)
