This is a spoken word episode. It reads much like poetry with a musical backdrop and a theological theme. It is intended to be used for worship, meditation, or to accompany movement (like a walk).

I recently gained access to some early writings from my tenure at Winchester Church of God from 2011-2018. This one was the first public-facing "poem" I’d ever written.

One day, my father-in-law (a prince of a preacher, a dynamic orator) came into my office and asked me to find a poem, writing, or sermon excerpt that described the greatness of God. He was speaking at a large gathering of pastors in another state and wanted to use it as a supporting feature for his keynote sermon.

I had taken up the art of writing (via blogging) the year prior, and I really loved expressing my thoughts through modern and relevant written word. Confident in my writing ability, I honestly never searched the internet for a piece of content to present to him. Instead, I sat a my computer and wrote. It wasn’t until after he decided to use it that I told him I wrote it (you know, boyishly self-conscious and all). I had the privilege of hearing him deliver it to large audiences on a few occasions, and it was so fulfilling and inspiring to witness a gathering’s reaction and worshipful response to an excellently orated piece of your written expression toward God.

I wrote in response to this question I asked myself: If I were introducing Jesus as a keynote speaker, what would I say? When you are in the midst of nature’s beauty, when you are preparing your heart for worship, or when you are in need of a reminder of the God who is on your side and fighting for you, listen to this spoken word.
