It feels powerfully defiant to look suffering in the face, to stare it down, and say, “You can’t have my voice. You can’t have my praise, my affection, my song. No matter how shaky my voice gets, it won’t ever change its tune." Worship isn't always the easy choice when we're facing suffering, grief, and pain but it is a powerful weapon in this battle we're fighting - and we're never fighting alone!
In this episode, I talk about how we worshipped our way through Imogen’s delivery, the songs that have been on repeat in this season, and the power that our worship has in this war we’re fighting…and we already know who wins!

QUOTES
“No matter what happened in the next few minutes and hours, no matter how our prayers were answered, whether life was restored to Imogen here on earth or not, Satan couldn’t touch us. We were invincible. Our hearts were fixed on God.”
“Worship felt counterintuitive, unexpected, rebellious and defiant, and that seemed like the perfect choice.”
“Because there’s something beautifully defiant about singing in the middle of the storm. There’s something incredibly rebellious about roaring our praises in the face of death. And there’s something revolutionary about wielding our worship as a weapon.”
“And something incredible happens when you walk through the fire and it doesn’t take you out. You develop this come-at-me, you-can’t-touch-me, take-your-best-shot but I will not bow kind of faith.”
