On today’s podcast, we’ll get into what anchor scriptures are, our next dissected song, and step into the listening room!
Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it’ll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 - “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
Today’s featured song: Nothing Like Your Presence x William McDowell

The Lyrics say,
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to be with You
To be with You
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to be with You
It's my only desire
There's nothing like Your presence, Lord
All I want is to worship You
You are God and we worship You
I will bless you Lord
You are God and we worship You
It's our only desire
Listen in as he shares his thoughts about how his purpose extends past food, embracing your uniqueness, maintaining your enthusiasm in difficult times, and knowing when it’s your time to grow versus time to have the Lord sustain you in the season. Tune into today’s episode for the full breakdown.
