Big Freakin God

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2019/01/29

Are you unimpressed with God? Or maybe just a little blah toward Him? Have you grown numb to His grandeur or lost the wonder of all He is? Maybe we've fallen prey to the latest epidemic of wrong-sizing God. It's so easy to let this happen. To come to the place where we perceive God as just a tiny bit bigger than ourselves. To come to the place where we are no longer amazed by all He's done and all He is. Maybe even to a place where in our minds we begin to exalt ourselves more than we exalt God. If

Faith It Till You Make It

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2019/01/22

Ever fall prey to your feelings? Ever let them dominate your decisions? Of course, it’s the most obvious way to live in this me-first generation. We’ve all struggled—who hasn’t? But what do we do when we don't feel like worshiping God? Or feel like reading his Word? Or feel like praying? Do we just fake it and hope no one notices? Do we shrug our shoulders and move on to something else? Or could it be that God has made us in such a way that the worshipers he is seeking understand that feelings

The Greatest in the Kingdom

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2019/01/15

It's interesting to think about. The greatest in the Kingdom. What or who does Jesus say qualifies? Not surprisingly, it's different than we might expect. God is always flipping things on us concerning his Kingdom. Just when we think it's about being religious and holy or following all of the rules, Jesus throws us a huge curve ball. Become like a child, he says. Whatever that means! Still, he doesn't stop there. He ventures even further out onto the limb. It's true. Not only does he give us the

Extravagant Love

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2019/01/08

Once again Josh and Jeff extract some incredible personal and practical nuggets from a major story that Jesus highlights—yet one, honestly, that many of us would prefer to gloss over. It makes us a bit uncomfortable, and we tend to dismiss it as one in the worship extremist category, all the while, Jesus is trying to highlight it as just the type of worship he’s looking for. Sooner or later we’ve got ask ourselves, why we are so uncomfortable with those who go all out for worship? Is it simply a

Rejoicing and Trembling

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/12/18

Guys, we don’t like being told how to worship. We might even get a little ill-tempered about the whole thing. But what if the Bible is calling us to be willing to go where our natural personalities don't really want to go? Don’t we trust the Lord? Don’t we believe he has our best interest at heart? If he’s asking us to break outside the box to sing and dance or bow and be still, don’t we trust it’s because he is doing it for our benefit? He certainly doesn’t ask the quiet person to shout out to hurt

Friend and King

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/12/11

We may not realize it, but our perception of God—based on how we were raised as well as our own natural disposition—has a profound bearing on the way we worship him—for better or for worse. Is God friend or King? Most of us gravitate toward one extreme or the other. Even so, some folks feel largely uncomfortable when God is referred to as lover or close friend—as if somehow He's being disrespected. Others mourn deeply as those around them seem to view God as a distant, relationally detached, “big

The Secret Place Under Fire

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/12/04

Wow, I’m so grateful to my cohost, Josh Edwards, for being willing to invite us into his not-so-perfect journey with God as he shares an incredible personal testimony of how reading my book on an airplane helped give him a total reset in the time he spends alone with God. You're gonna want to listen to this one over and over! His story really challenges us to be brutally honest about our own messes and in turn, invite God to revitalize our secret place time with Him once and for all! Many of us are

American Idolatry

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/11/27

As soon as someone starts talking about idolatry we tune out. I mean, what could idolatry have to do with us? We don't worship idols. Or do we? Don't be fooled. Idolatry may seem like a thing from the Old Testament or for those in third world countries, but everyone wrestles powerfully with the temptation to put things above our Creator. It's clear that we each have a deep, deep longing—put there by God himself—to be amazed, to be wow’ed, to stand in awe of something. It's like we're always looking

The Supreme God

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/11/20

Ever run across this verse in 1 Corinthians 15:28? Most people we've met haven't. And it's a doozy! "Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere." Somehow, many of us have allowed the enemy of our souls to distort our view of Jesus and in turn erode our understanding of the role of God the Father as the universe's ultimate power source. In the

The Visible Invisible God

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/11/13

It can be frustrating to find that we’ve held to beliefs for most of our lives that turn out to be faulty or a little sideways—especially when they involve Jesus. But when it comes to relationship with God, we simply cannot afford to be off in our understanding in the slightest. And we cannot stress enough how important it is to truly know the WHO of worship, because if we find that we know the what, why, and how of worship, but miss the WHO, it's all for not. This is even more important since our

Wired For Worship

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/11/06

What were you born for? What's your biggest dream? What are you hoping to be known for? Are you ready to give it everything you've got? OK. Cool. What if you discovered that your top design characteristic as a human being is to worship God with every breath? With every heartbeat? With your songs AND your life? Would this bum you out? Or would you embrace your calling with absolute gusto? What if you discovered that every person on the planet has one single calling that trumps every other passion in

Protection In His Presence

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/10/30

Are you or someone you know struggling with fear, panic attacks, sleeplessness, or anxiety? It may seem too simple a fix, but in this week's podcast, Josh and Jeff put forth the scriptural notion that engaging in intimate relationship with the Prince of Peace is the answer to many of today's issues, whether it’s danger from terrorists and natural disasters or problems with mental health. We're way too quick to attempt to tap into natural solutions when God is calling us to reach out for his

Because He Loves Us

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/10/23

In many ways, choosing to worship God is the ultimate act of selfishness! How? Because when we worship him by faith—even when we don't feel like it and even when we don't understand—it not only benefits the Kingdom of God and everyone around us, it also benefits us! In the same way, choosing not to worship God—choosing not to respond to his invitation—keeps us from receiving everything God has for us. It's true. We often have it backwards. We imagine worship is something we do in order to get God's

Worship Is Not For God

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/10/16

If you don't know where we're headed with the title of this podcast, you could already be fuming. And we're super sorry about that. Truthfully, that is not our intention. In fact, we promise, we're not trying to tick you off at all, and we're definitely not trying to make worship about us. There’s no doubt. Worship is always 100% ABOUT God and TO God, but it was designed FOR us. Thing is, God did not create this incredible thing called worship to build up his ego, but to build up our lives in Him

Aiding Our Awakening with Singing

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/10/09

Holy cow, have we ever underestimated the power of singing! In our first five podcasts, Josh and I have been pounding away at the idea that worship is sooooooo much more than a song, but now it's time to be reminded why singing is truly unlike any other expression in worship. There are incredible bondage breaking, burden lifting truths scattered all throughout the scriptures that are literally going to set us free. If you've been in bondage to certain sins or fear or anxiety or insecurity for years,

My Whole Life Is Worship

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/10/02

Is worship a song, or is it something that happens in every facet of our lives? There seems to be much confusion on the topic, forcing many to choose sides. But, as you might expect, worship is both something that can happen with singing and in services as well as something that happens as we live our lives in worship. In this episode, Josh and Jeff break it all down, helping us remember that God is not only involved in the "spiritual" elements of our lives, but also powerfully in our work, our

Intimacy Before Ministry

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/09/25

As we know, there are many roadblocks standing in the way of true fellowship with the Father. The enemy is all over this! In this podcast, Josh and Jeff unpack one of the big ones. And even though it is one of the least discussed, it is certainly one of the most important, especially for leaders and seasoned believers. We have a huge propensity toward attempting to bolster our identity through DOING for God rather than through BEING with God. This is fairly common and yet very dangerous, and God,

God’s Presence—What Is It?

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/09/18

What exactly is the presence of God? Does it come? Can it leave? Is it an “it”…or what? What if we came to grips with the fact that it is possible to spend time singing worship songs, reading the Bible, and going to church and yet never actually enter God’s presence? What if we really understood that God’s presence isn’t actually found in the soft music we often hear at the end of a service? As Christians, we often use words and phrases we don’t completely understand, some of which have taken on

Awakening Pure Worship In Me

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

The heart behind this podcast is to remind us that everyone is invited to the party, to cultivate a face to face walk with God. Not just Abraham and Moses, not just Paul and the Apostles. But you, too! Josh and Jeff share personal stories from their lives of exactly how God awakened a heart of biblically based, relational worship in them. These stories will without a doubt inspire you in your journey, helping you understand how you can experience the same close friendship with God you were created

The Secret Place

The Pure Worship Podcast ·

2018/09/02

In this modern age, so few of us understand the idea that there is nothing more important in life than being with God in the secret place. The secret place represents the time we spend alone with God in fellowship, studying the Bible, praying, worshiping in song, being still, listening to his voice, etc. Everything else in life flows powerfully and purposefully out of the time we invest in communion with God, in in our alone time with him. This is how God designed us, to funtion best, to be most
