For Me, it Started with Channel 3

Watch Him Turn a Sea into a Highway
One of my favorite worship songs of all time is “Graves Into Gardens” by Elevation Worship. The bridge is my favorite part, and it goes like this: . You turn mourning to dancing You give beauty for ashes You turn shame into glory You’re the only one who can . You turn graves into Continue reading

I Am Not a Purple Unicorn
The other day I was listening to the Workin’ On it podcast with Meghan & Ryan Trainor, and their guest, Zach Pincince. At one point in the conversation, Zach said something that stuck out to me.
