In our latest episode, we promise a heartfelt and thought-provoking discussion on the critical practice of discerning truth and remaining steadfast in your faith. We kick things off with an important update regarding the Open Waters worship schedule, explaining why we’ve shifted our worship nights to the first Saturday of each month at 2 pm, and how this change aims to better serve our community while considering holiday breaks. Our commitment to incorporating more biblical foundations into our content is stronger than ever, as we stress the importance of staying true to scriptural teachings amidst widespread misinformation.What if you could distinguish the voice of the Holy Spirit from your own feelings in a world brimming with conflicting information? We delve into this essential practice, reflecting on the wisdom from James 1:6-8 and the dangers of double-mindedness. We explore the instability it brings and underscore the necessity of having a solid foundation in faith, centered on God's kingdom and abiding in Him, as illustrated in John 15. By staying connected to the Lord, we can navigate through doubt and uncertainty with clarity and confidence, fostering a deeper connection to divine truth.Finally, we highlight the profound impact of remaining tethered to truth in worship. Abiding in Jesus, as described in John 15 and John 17, empowers us to bear good fruit and spread His truth effectively. For worship leaders, this connection is crucial, as their spiritual clarity directly impacts their leadership and the worship experience of their community. As we wrap up, we express our gratitude to our listeners, encouraging them to share their thoughts and stay connected with us. We send our love, blessings, and prayers to everyone tuning in, and eagerly look forward to continuing this journey of faith and truth together.Open Waters Family,Just wanted to say welcome, and thank you for joining us!

Send us a textHave you ever wondered what it truly means to live a life of worship beyond just the music? In our 48th episode of the Open Waters Podcast, we're excited to share some personal milestones, including a graduation and an unforgettable Open Waters worship event. Josiah recounts a moving moment he experienced at church, where he felt a profound sense of love for everyone around him, seeing them through God's eyes. This experience sparks a deep and heartfelt discussion about the true essence of worship—loving others genuinely and living a life that reflects this divine love.We explore how worshiping God goes beyond traditional settings and permeates every aspect of our daily lives. Taking cues from Jesus' interactions with Mary, Martha, and the woman at the well, we emphasize the importance of compassion, empathy, and being present. By slowing down and being available for God's work, we can notice those around us and make meaningful connections, all while maintaining healthy boundaries. This chapter highlights how to balance acts of love and the sacrifices they might require without placing ourselves at a disadvantage.To wrap up, we recount an inspiring story of faith, where a young boy's unwavering belief helped lead an atheist towards accepting Jesus. This leads into a broader discussion on the importance of balancing vertical and horizontal worship, and how loving others is an integral part of this balance. We also touch on the role of prophetic worship and the power of authentic worship in touching hearts. Our episode concludes with an encouraging message about divine calling and the assurance of purpose, reminding listeners to stay faithful to God's guidance and the transformative power of worship.
