Embracing God's Design: Insights from Jesse Reeves on The Walk Podcast In the latest episode of "The Walk Podcast," hosted by Joshua Swanson, listeners were treated to a profound devotional episode featuring renowned songwriter Jesse Reeves. Jesse, whose songs like "How Great Is Our God" and "Lord, I Need You" have become staples in worship services worldwide, shared a compelling message on the story of Joseph from Genesis 45, highlighting God's sovereignty and divine plan in our lives. The Narrative of Joseph: A Perspective Shift Jesse Reeves began by reflecting on the common narrative many of us hold regarding our past experiences, particularly those filled with hardship and suffering. Drawing from the life of Joseph, Jesse pointed out the importance of shifting our perspective from focusing on what happened to us to understanding how God has been leading us through those events. "Changing the narrative to not what happened to you, but how God has led you," Jesse emphasized.  This shift in perspective is crucial for finding freedom and purpose in our stories, much like Joseph did despite the numerous adversities he faced, from being sold into slavery by his brothers to being falsely accused and imprisoned. Facts vs. Divine Perspective Jesse meticulously recounted the facts of Joseph's life—his favored status by his father, the dreams that incited his brothers' jealousy, his sale into slavery, false accusations, imprisonment, and eventual rise to power in Egypt. These events, while undeniably true, were not the lens through which Joseph ultimately viewed his life. Instead, Joseph recognized God's hand in every step, saying to his brothers, "It was not you who sent me here, but God." This realization, Jesse explained, is liberating for many who are trapped in the pain of their past. By understanding that God has a purpose even in our suffering, we can begin to see our trials as part of a larger divine plan, just as Joseph did. Forgiveness: A Path to Freedom A significant portion of Jesse's message was dedicated to the theme of forgiveness. He shared how Joseph's forgiveness of his brothers, despite their betrayal, was a powerful testament to God's work in his life. This forgiveness is not just a release of past wrongs but an essential step towards experiencing true freedom in Christ. Jesse connected this to our own lives, urging listeners to forgive those who have wronged them, recognizing God's guiding hand in every situation. He noted that harboring bitterness and resentment hinders our spiritual growth and freedom. A Personal Challenge Jesse Reeves' message was not just theoretical but deeply personal. He shared his own struggles with forgiveness and changing his narrative, illustrating how these principles have brought freedom and purpose in his life. He encouraged worship leaders and listeners to reflect on their own stories and seek God's perspective, offering a heartfelt prayer for those struggling with past hurts. As a parting gift, listeners were treated to the song "What a Day," co-written by Jesse Reeves and performed by Alisa Turner, encapsulating the hope and redemption found in God's divine design for our lives. For those seeking to delve deeper into this powerful message, the full episode of "The Walk Podcast" is available for listening, providing a source of encouragement and spiritual growth for worship leaders and believers alike. - - - - - - - - - Please subscribe to our social channels for more information and great content surrounding building a lifestyle of worship.

Embracing Healing Through Faith: Skye Reedy's Journey In the latest episode of The Walk Podcast, hosted by Joshua Swanson, the Editor-in-Chief of Worship Leader Magazine, listeners are introduced to Skye Reedy, a talented songwriter, worship leader, and native Floridian. Skye's story is one of profound faith, healing, and the transformative power of testimony. Skye Reedy's Testimony Skye Reedy starts her devotional by sharing her background and current life in Nashville. She emphasizes the power of testimony, explaining that the term means "to do again with the same power and the same authority." Skye believes that personal experiences with God can inspire faith and revive hope, both in daily life and in worship. Skye recounts her difficult childhood marked by a painful autoimmune disease that affected her and other family members. Despite her family's strong faith, the illness caused her significant pain and led to the loss of her mother during her high school years. This period of grief and questioning distanced her from God. However, moving to Nashville for college marked a turning point. Friends who loved the Lord invited her to church, and during a young adults service, she had a life-changing encounter with God. A pastor's words resonated with her deeply, leading her to release her pain and embrace God's healing love. From that moment, Skye dedicated her life to sharing the love and healing power of God through music. She explains how singing brought her joy during her sickness and how the Holy Spirit used music to touch her heart. After college, doors opened for her to travel and sing with artists like Mandisa and Michael W. Smith, further nurturing her faith and healing. Learning About Physical Healing Skye shares how God began teaching her about physical healing, an area she initially felt uncertain about. Surrounded by faithful friends, she dove into scriptures about healing, reading stories and testimonies that strengthened her faith. She highlights the importance of laying disappointment at Jesus's feet and learning to pray with faith and hope. Skye recounts a powerful moment while watching an online church service, where she felt a chronic fatigue lift from her body, sensing God's healing presence. Subsequent tests confirmed her healing, both physically and spiritually. She stresses that if God could heal her, He could do it for anyone. The Power of Worship and Testimony Skye emphasizes that leading worship and singing from one's history with God is impactful beyond words. Whether shared in gatherings or from the heart, testimonies remind people of God's faithfulness and encourage them to lift their eyes to Jesus. She enjoys praying for guidance on song choices and singing scriptures and prayers during worship, believing it can shift hearts and renew spirits. A Powerful Devotional Skye Reedy's testimony on The Walk Podcast is a profound reminder of the power of faith, the importance of testimony, and the transformative love of God. Her journey from sickness to healing, both physical and spiritual, underscores the message that God's plans for us are good, and His healing power is real and accessible. - - - - - - - - - Please subscribe to our social channels for more information and great content surrounding building a lifestyle of worship.
