At just 16, Ian delivered his first sermon, a daunting experience that sparked a lifelong love for ministry. Initially, Ian planned to pursue music or psychology on a warm coast, but God had different plans.

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.

She recounts how Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead the army, singing praises to God. This act of worship led to a miraculous victory, illustrating that praise can change the atmosphere and bring about divine intervention.

Faced with her husband's job loss and financial uncertainty, Jasmine chose to trust in God's provision.

Greetings, dear readers, and welcome to our latest episode of The Walk for Worship Leader Magazine. Today, we delve into an inspiring episode with a special guest appearance by the esteemed worship leader, singer, and songwriter, Josh Baldwin. Fighting for Peace: A Journey Through Faith In this heartwarming and profound episode, Josh Baldwin shares a deeply personal story about his family's struggle with anxiety and the divine peace they found through faith. Baldwin, known for his powerful corporate worship songs, takes us on a journey of vulnerability, resilience, and the unyielding power of God's peace. The Turbulent Season Baldwin begins by referencing John 14:27, a verse that promises peace from Jesus, unlike any peace the world can give. This verse became a beacon of hope during a tumultuous time in his family’s life. In January 2023, while Baldwin was frequently traveling, his wife began experiencing severe anxiety and panic attacks, reminiscent of a similar episode four years prior. This unexpected resurgence of anxiety plunged their home into a period of deep distress and uncertainty. Determined to find peace, Baldwin canceled his engagements to stay home and support his wife. They sought the Lord fervently, praying for understanding and relief. During this season, Baldwin had a scheduled songwriting session with friends, including one who had flown in from Australia. Despite his reluctance to leave his wife and feeling creatively drained, he attended the session. The Birth of a Song In a candid moment of sharing, Baldwin opened up about his family's struggles with his friends, which led to a powerful time of prayer and mutual support. This experience birthed a song that candidly expressed their fight for peace. The lyrics reflect the raw and honest cry for God's presence in the midst of turmoil, calling upon God’s many roles – Savior, Friend, Healer, Defender, Provider, and crucially, the Prince of Peace. Initially, Baldwin envisioned the song as a personal anthem for his family. However, as they repeatedly listened to it, the song’s profound impact became clear. It resonated deeply, not just within their home but with others who heard it. Baldwin decided to include the song in his live album recorded at his church in Tennessee. During the recording, his wife shared her testimony, and they prayed for others battling anxiety, turning a personal trial into a collective moment of healing and faith. The Prince of Peace Baldwin emphasizes the transformative power of Jesus as the Prince of Peace. Drawing from Hebrew meanings and scriptural insights, he describes Jesus as the one who removes all peace-disturbing factors and secures peace wherever He reigns. This divine peace became the cornerstone of Baldwin's prayers for his family and their daily lives. He shares how this peace is not a one-time experience but a daily journey. As a father, Baldwin sees the importance of instilling this peace in his children, teaching them to lean on God’s promises amidst fears and worries. Romans 16:20, which speaks of the God of peace crushing Satan under our feet, became a source of strength and assurance. Encouragement for the Weary In a heartfelt plea, Baldwin encourages those struggling with anxiety, sleeplessness, and worry to seek the Prince of Peace. He shares his own battles with worry, recognizing it as a tool the enemy uses to hinder our spiritual progress. Through prayer and surrender, he urges us to allow God's peace to surpass all understanding and reign in our hearts. A Prayer for Peace Baldwin closes with a prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit to bring peace to all listeners, rebuking anxiety, worry, and fear in the name of Jesus. His prayer is a powerful reminder of the peace we can find in Christ, encouraging us to surrender our burdens and trust in His divine control. As we reflect on Josh Baldwin's journey, we are reminded of the profound peace that comes from trusting in Jesus. His story is a testament to the power of faith, prayer, and community in overcoming life’s challenges. Baldwin's song, born out of personal struggle, has become a source of healing and hope for many. Thank you for joining us in this journey of faith and peace. Until we meet again, may the Prince of Peace rule in your hearts and lives. - - - - - - - - - Please subscribe to our social channels for more information and great content surrounding building a lifestyle of worship.
