  • Worship in Spirit and Truth

    "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24)

    To understand the wisdom of worship, you must first walk the road—through life’s trials, lessons, and grace—to discover what it means to truly worship God.

    Joshua Swanson is someone who knows that road well. He walks it with humility, faith, and an unwavering heart for Jesus, even through challenges. THE WALK is a podcast that lifts up Christ and lays down the ego. Each episode is a powerful reminder that w... more

  • Much needed resource!

    I love that Worship Leader Magazine has come out with this podcast. There are so many worship teams that are looking for devotional material, so this makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the format as well given that it is personal stories of peoples faith walk. I think as a Christian this is both an encouragement to me as a worshiper but also an encouragement to creative teams at churches everywhere. I look forward to seeing a lot more of these episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 178: Bella Taylor Smith: You Can't Lead People Where You've Never Been
Q: What was it like moving from Australia to Nashville and starting a new chapter in your music career?
She describes arriving with her husband, sensing God's direction, and navigating visa challenges, ultimately settling in Nashville to build a life and ministry centered on worship and testimony.
Ep 178: Bella Taylor Smith: You Can't Lead People Where You've Never Been
Q: How did you get started in music and talk about The Voice and all of that fun?
Bella shares that she was saved at 15, felt called to ministry, and entered The Voice Australia during the Covid lockdown, which opened doors to moving to the United States and pursuing Christian music and ministry.
Ep 172: Alexander Pappas: Worship Isn’t Just for Sunday
Q: When you go out that is it, are you pulling mostly from your most recent project Sunday? Or is it like, you got such a deep well of all these songs through the years.
Alex explains he blends new material with the established catalog, aims to push newer songs while respecting the older hits, and treats touring as both a platform for new material and a place to honor longtime songs; he emphasizes unity and serving the event's vision over personal showcase.
Ep 167: Cade Thompson: Why We Forget What the Cross Really Means
Q: What does it mean to move beyond a purely worship setting into being a recording artist and still serve the church?
For me, worship is a lifestyle and a calling. I try to keep the heart of worship in the road and on stage by prioritizing ministry to people and maintaining authenticity rather than chasing trends.
Ep 167: Cade Thompson: Why We Forget What the Cross Really Means
Q: Tell us what you've been up to lately and how your music intersects with Easter.
I'm continuing to write and tour, with new songs releasing every six weeks. The Cross is central to this season, and we want churches to sing these songs across Easter and beyond as a message of hope and perseverance.
