Podcasts about Song

Scripture often celebrates the Lord's victories in song. One of these triumphal anthems is yet to be sung. Today, R.C. Sproul looks at the song of the redeemed in the book of Revelation, celebrating the victory of Jesus Christ at the climax of history.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Revelation 15 John sees another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven last plagues, which complete God's wrath. Standing beside a sea of glass mixed with fire are those who were victorious over the beast and its image. They hold harps given by God and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, praising God's mighty works and justice. All nations will come to worship Him, for His righteous acts have been revealed. After this, the sanctuary in heaven is opened, and the seven angels come out dressed in pure, shining linen. One of the four living creatures gives them seven golden bowls filled with God's wrath. The sanctuary is filled with smoke from God's glory and power, and no one can enter until the plagues are finished.  This worshipful chapter demonstrates that God's judgment is not random or cruel, but rather holy, complete, and characterized by justice and righteousness. Those who overcome the beast stand victorious, worshiping God with songs of praise. Their faithfulness reminds us that suffering is not the end, and that victory belongs to those who remain faithful to the Lord. The song of Moses and the Lamb celebrates God's power, His works, and His justice. We are called to worship Him with the same awe and devotion. Even when the world rejects His truth, we are to stand firm. God is preparing to complete His plan, and we must live in reverence, trusting His timing and walking in purity, hope, and faithfulness.  Worthy Lord, You are great and marvelous in all Your works; all Your ways are just and true. As Moses sang, You are our strength, our song, and our salvation. Who among the nations will not fear You and glorify Your name? All Your judgments are righteous, and all creation will worship before You. Help us stand firm like those who overcame, singing with joy and trust in Your power. Fill our hearts with awe at Your holiness and prepare us to live in purity. May our lives reflect Your glory as we wait for the completion of Your perfect plan.  Thought Questions: How does it bring you comfort to know that the faithful who have died are in a place of pure joy, singing songs of praise to God? What is the original context of the Song of Moses? How is a faithful life in Christ like the Israelites crossing the parted Red Sea in Exodus? Revelation often mentions “the wrath of God.” Who has that wrath always been poured out on, and how far will you go to avoid that fate?

This episode of Living Myth begins with a Native American story of the origin of healing rituals. In telling the tale Michael Meade emphasizes a remarkable point in the story when knowledge, healing and songs all enter the world at the same time. The songs become central elements in the original healing ritual which brings those that are sick or wounded to the center of the community. Having established the importance of healing songs, Meade introduces an excerpt from Mosaic's recording "A Song is a Road".     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth. You can further support this podcast by becoming a member of Living Myth Premium.

On Sunday, Pete read the Angels' Song from Luke 2. The Angels' Song is one of hope realized.  The angels come to the lowly shepherds to announce the good news of Christ's birth. The Messiah is finally here, peace is available to all people. The angel chorus glorifies God for this great gift, and gives an important key for how this peace is actually obtained.  It is by our faith that God is pleased. When we entrust all of ourselves to Christ, we receive all that he is. This life of peace with God pours over into all of life, making the same gift that we received, available to all those we encounter. 

Song: I Believe Music by: Una McCann   Guest singers:​ Rebecca Csuy, Seth Norton, Tom Norton, Marika Tabilio   Notes: You'll hear a wonderful group of singers helping me cover all the ranges of this song: Tom and Seth bring the bass, Marika nails the tenor, Rebecca lines up the alto, and I take on soprano. There's a bit of octave confusion -- where do we find these pitches in our different voices?! And then this fabulous song and groove reminds us to see the goodness -- in you, in me, in everybody. So grateful to Una McCann for living into the teachings of Tara Brach and catching this song that feels so good to have singing in my body! Wishing everyone a week of discovery and festive comradery, whether you are celebrating holy days or simply the close of 2025...   Songwriter Info: Una McCann is based in Belfast, Northern Ireland where she works as a choir leader and songwriter.  She has been leading groups in harmony since her school days and has been working professionally with choirs for 15 years.   Currently the chair of the Natural Voice Network, Una runs 6 Natural Voice style weekly choirs.  She also enjoys running singing holidays and retreats.    Una is passionate about the power of creativity to transform lives and encourages her singers to improvise, play and explore their own creativity. Song writing is a part of life that sustains and supports Una.  She writes melodies and words that she needs to hear in that moment and is always delighted when they resonate with other people too.   I Believe was born out of the wish to always see the best in people even when it's hard and we don't want to, and to remember that underneath all of us is someone who just wants to be happy. We all come from love but sometimes we lose our way a bit.  It was inspired by listening to Tara Brach who creates beautiful talks on topics such as this.   Sharing Info: Please buy sheet music on Una's website (see below) if you plan to share this song as a songleader.   Song Learning Time Stamps: Start time of teaching: 00:05:24 Start time of reprise: 00:19:52   Links: Una's website: www.unamccann.org Sheet music for this song: https://unamccann.org/product/i-believe/  Una's Instagram: www.instagram.com/unamccann47 Una's Facebook (Una McCann Music): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558408430060  Tara Brach's website: www.tarabrach.com Natural Voice Network: www.naturalvoice.net    Nuts & Bolts: 4:4, minor, 2 layers, one layer with melody & two harmonies   Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

Pastor David Coons - Luke 1:57-80

Because I believe Jesus came from Heaven to Earth  to show the way From the Earth to the Cross  my Sin Debt to pay From the Cross to the Grave From the Grave to the  Sky His love for me will never die

Like Simeon, we're called to recognize Jesus as our personal fulfillment of promise. In a world of waiting, His arrival brings peace that dismisses our deepest fears.

He delivered himself to a process by which he would become embryo, infant, toddler, child, adolescent, and adult.Sunday • 12/24/2023 •Christmas Eve, Year Two  This morning's Scriptures are: Psalm 45; Psalm 46; Baruch 4:36–5:9; Galatians 3:23–4:7; Matthew 1:18–25 This morning's Canticles are: following the OT reading, Canticle 10 (“The Second Song of Isaiah,” Isaiah 55:6–11; BCP, p. 86); following the Epistle reading, Canticle 18 (“A Song to the Lamb,” Revelation 4:11; 5:9–10, 13, BCP, p. 93)

Eine düstere Zukunftsprognose hat das Duo Zager & Evans der Menschheit da 1969 gegeben in seinem einzigen Hit „In The Year 2525“: Ausrottung der Tiere, Nahrung in Pillenform, der Mensch wird durch Technologie ersetzt – der Song war ein Spiegelbild der Hippie Ära. In den besten Songs des Stereo.Typen-Jahresrückblicks 2025 geht es um innere Ängste in „Spiders“-Form, einen Seelen-„Striptease“ und die Verarbeitung eines Heartbreaks in einem dichten „Berghain“ der Gefühle – was vielleicht einiges über unsere Zeit aussagt. Wobei die Hippie-Prognosen auch zutreffen: In der Musikszene wird der Mensch gerade nach und nach durch künstliche Intelligenz ersetzt. Die Artists kriegen dadurch weniger, obwohl die KI einst mit ihren Songs gefüttert wurde, von einem Kuchen, den Spotify und die großen Labels eh schon weitestgehend unter sich aufteilen. Trotz allen Alarmschlagens der betroffenen Künstler, Künstlerinnen und Bands – Existenzen und der Soundtrack unseres Lebens sind in Gefahr! Wir können helfen, unsere Lieblingskünstler zu unterstützen, schon durch ein Konzertticket, ein T-Shirt oder eine Vinyl. Von dem Soundtrack ihres Jahres erzählen in #ST115InTheYear25,25 Negisa Blumenstein, Laura Pöss, Tilmann Köllner und Marc Mühlenbrock.

This week we celebrate the season by listening to the Insane Clown Posse and wishing you all a very merry ICPissmas! We are listening to the brand new album The Naught, released Aug. 12, 2025. Fair warning, it isn't all Faygo and murder this time dear listeners.

In this episode we discuss poorly designed demons, Tim claims Jesus is a clown, pathological aging, spontaneous games of pickup basketball, how to celebrate this strange holiday we made up, if ICP is now writing songs about our show, the dangers of online dating and subsequent catfishing, undercover Van Helsing sting operations, a debate about which host is "softer", bed wetting, existential dread, and so much more!

Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | Simeon's song expresses the deep reality and emotional experience of Christmas: the divine tension of glory and suffering, peace and pain, light and conviction, salvation and rejection. Even as a baby, Jesus' presentation at the Temple points to His suffering and glory at the cross as our final Redeemer.

In this Prayer Podcast episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe introduces Pesukei Dezimra (Verses of Praise) with Psalm 30—a relatively recent addition (about 400 years ago, per the Arizal)—as the gateway to deeper prayer. Though King David wrote it for the Temple's dedication (which his son Solomon performed), David embedded "Shlomo" acrostically and merited its use through his lifelong investment. The psalm transforms synagogues into a "mikdash me'at" (mini-Temple), elevating our mindset from social gathering to direct encounter with Hashem.Verse-by-verse, Rabbi Wolbe reveals David's profound humility: success is Hashem lifting us, not personal triumph; healing means forgiveness of sin; enemies are our yetzer hara (evil inclination); fleeting anger contrasts Hashem's desire for eternal life. Priorities flip—song precedes praise—reflecting constant gratitude turning into joyous overflow. The psalm parallels personal repentance, the Golden Calf forgiveness (leading to Tabernacle readiness on 25 Kislev—hinting at Chanukah), and dual emotions of joy/mourning.Ultimately, Psalm 30 aligns us: all is from Hashem, challenges are for growth, prayer humbles us to His will, and sincere cries (like David's, Chana's) are answered—preparing our souls to "sing forever" in Pesukei Dezimra's hallway to the Divine sanctuary._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #42) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

Redropping one of our favorite episodes from December 2024, Harry and Rafe start with the idea of a bleak midwinter, dart down some rabbit holes and tell some stories of old shenanigans, and end up on Christmas carols, in particular Sleigh Ride, O Holy Night, Cradle in Bethlehem, Still, Still, Still, and Joseph's Song.  Particular attention is paid to Paul Cardall's splendid instrumental version of Still, Still, Still, which serves as the intro and outro tunes for the episode.In the end, they come to the conclusion that Christmas should be done very intentionally to be done well, and that means starting with Advent and then fully embracing the thrill of Hope that Christmas gives to a weary world.*****As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.

This episode of The Real Stuff is a really special one for me. I'm sitting down with my older brother, Rob Fink, and two of his best friends, Lukas Effman and Alex Goldstein — the three guys behind the indie folk-pop band, East Love. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you already know their music: East Love's song Rolling Stone has been the intro music to this podcast since day one!You can listen to their new single “Never Mine” on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5a1ncej7fWKv0Bk8o5Do3zIn this conversation, we go all the way back — from growing up together and the boys meeting in elementary and middle school, to forming a band in high school that somehow turned into a 20-year creative partnership. Today, all three of them are in their mid-30s, with kids, full-time careers, and families... and they're still making music together.We talk about what it actually looks like to balance a passion project with adult life, why they chose not to pursue music full-time, and how East Love has stayed together when so many bands fall apart. We get into friendship, creative fulfillment, choosing stability, and redefining what success looks like outside of the traditional music industry grind.They also open up about songwriting and vulnerability, including the story behind East Love's newest single “Never Mine,” which is based on a real heartbreak from Rob's college years, and how writing that song years later helped him process it in a completely different way.This episode is about music, but it's also about long-lasting male friendships, growing up together, and building something meaningful that evolves as your life does. It's warm, nostalgic, funny, and honestly one of my favorite conversations I've had on this show.If you've ever wondered how a band survives adulthood, or how to keep creativity alive while building a full life, this one's for you.

Evening lessons: Psalms 134, 135; Song of Songs 1; Luke 22:1-38.  Behold now, praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord

We turn our attention from The Hobbit to a long-hidden Tolkien gem: his 1936 Christmas poem, “Noel.”  We take a look at the history of the poem's rediscovery, its deep-rooted Tolkien-esque imagery, and why its message of hope stands uniquely in Tolkien's literary career. We discuss: The surprising 2013 rediscovery of “Noel” and how Tolkien scholars tracked it down through forgotten school annuals and convent archives. The poem's Nordic and Middle-earth flavor in the early stanzas—and the “eucatastrophic” shift when a child is born. Song and music as markers of Tolkien's poetic voice, the emphasis on Mary's song, and what it means for the joy of the world. Why “Noel” is a rare example of Tolkien writing an explicitly Christ-centered poem, and how it stands apart from his other work. The unmistakable hope and gladness that “Noel” brings to the weary, gray world. The craft and subtlety Tolkien brings, never over-explaining the mystery—just inviting us to imagine, wonder, and rejoice. In our extended episode (available for EVERYONE this week! :D. Merry Christmas! Become a member or a patron!), we tackle one of the greatest Christmas questions… is Lord of the Rings a Christmas film!? Does simply watching a film at Christmas imbue it with holiday status, or must its core message embody the “eucatastrophe” of the season? The surprisingly non-Christmas nature of Die Hard and Gremlins. Our favorite Christmas movies, from It's a Wonderful Life to Home Alone, and what really makes a story Christmas-worthy.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. “Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing over the plain. And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains." Whenever I hear this song, I can't help but picture what it was like when it happened all those years ago at Jesus' birth. I live in North Carolina, and we're surrounded by mountains. When you see how majestic and grand they are, it's hard to imagine a song so loud and sung by so many beings that it literally echoes from the mountains—probably surpassing our loudest concerts and football games. It makes sense why the shepherds literally shook in fear when they saw this scene and heard, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace - good will toward men." This worship followed the pronouncement of the Savior's birth. They wanted the world to know the Savior was born. So let's follow the angels' example and not hold back in sharing the Good News of salvation through Jesus! Learn how at sharelife.today.

On this episode of The Travel Wins Podcast, host Pete Kotzbach sits down with rising Texas-based country rock band Dear Iris for an honest conversation about music, travel, sacrifice, and chasing a dream while managing real-life responsibilities.Forged in the heart of East Texas, Dear Iris delivers a powerful blend of Texas country music and alternative rock grit. From the driving energy of “Kylie's Song” to the emotional depth of “Restless On You,” the band's sound is rooted in authentic storytelling and shaped by the miles they've logged on the road. Their music reflects both where they come from and where they're headed — grounded in Texas soil but reaching for something much bigger.What makes this episode especially compelling is the band's transparency about the reality of being an independent touring band. Dear Iris doesn't tour full-time — they tour around day jobs, family commitments, and real-world responsibilities. During the week, they're clocking in at work and showing up for their families. When time allows, they load up the gear, hit the highways, and bring their music to audiences across Texas and beyond.In this conversation, the band opens up about:·         Balancing music careers with full-time jobs·         Touring while prioritizing family and personal relationships·         The mental and physical challenges of life on the road·         Staying creative and motivated in today's competitive country music industry·         Building momentum without losing authenticityFor business travelers, creatives, musicians, and anyone chasing a passion while juggling everyday responsibilities, this episode offers real insight and inspiration. Dear Iris represents the modern grind — proving that success doesn't always come from shortcuts, but from consistency, sacrifice, and belief in the journey.

We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma.
