Today on The Affirming Words Podcast: we read through Proverbs 25 with John Johnson.John has a passion for worship, mentoring and training, and writing new songs. He preaches the gospel of the Kingdom dramatically through the Word, and he will even break into song while preaching to better illustrate a point in the sermon. A cornucopia of blessings! John did break out in song, he sang, I love You Lord and I lift my voice to worship You. It was undeniable that the Holy Spirit of God was moving within each of us as he finished singing. Don’t just take our word for it, have a listen for yourself! Father God is so very pleased with you, He explodes with delight, singing and rejoicing over you. Worship to God is a lifestyle. Whatever we do throughout the day as long as we are focused on Him (musing on a verse or saying prayer for someone) this is worship.You can find out more about John at www.Hisinstrumentsofworship.com

Today on The Affirming Words Podcast: Our host, Rick Tarrant, reads through Proverbs 21 with recording artist Danny Cosby, in front of a live Zoom room audience. As a PK (pastor’s kid), Danny Cosby (https://dannycosby.com/) grew up in the church, singing and participating in music from a very young age. At eighteen, Danny started singing in rock bands and experimenting with drugs. By twenty-three, he was addicted to drugs and became broke and homeless. He wound up in a homeless shelter where he rededicated his life back to the Lord. It wasn’t long after his stint as a thief, caught up with him and he was arrested. While in prison, Danny sang in the worship band and helped bring many men to the Lord, including gang members. Today, Danny’s heart is to tell people about God’s grace through singing, preaching and giving his testimony.There was so much we discussed today from Proverbs 21, from renewing our minds like a hamburger is flipped on a grill, learning to ruin the darkness with light and seeking wisdom which inevitably leads to a drenched and overflowing life of abundance. The renewing your mind process is only possible with God’s help, we cannot do it on our own.Join us at AffirmingWisdom.com
