Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith and I'm so glad you've joined us today.

Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know and trust God more.

Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical.

And they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus in the midst of cluttered messy days.

You got any of those?

I know I do.

Today's conversation is full of depth.

I am talking with Dove Award-winning songwriter Chrissy Nordoff about what it looks like to live a life of brave worship. Chrissy's a staff writer in Nashville, Tennessee for integrity

music. She's also a wife and mom and a worship leader, and she's a sister podcaster over at the

Brave Worship podcast. I honestly don't know a whole mess of people who would

describe themselves with the word brave. In fact, I think most of us would throw out words from

the opposite end of the spectrum, words that keep us from feeling brave, like worry and anxiety

and fear, doubt, insecurity. I think our lists of non-brave words could go on forever. I am

constantly frustrated with my own lack of God courage, but I honestly think that we really all want

to be courageous women of faith. We just struggle on figuring out how to get there. My discussion

with Chrissy actually provides real help and practical heart

directives that will equip you to deal with this in personal ways beginning today. So if you've

ever been held back by fear or struggled moving forward bravely, then today's episode will

help you step into the courage and grace of Jesus that meets you right in the middle of those

doubts, hesitations, and frustrations to help you

prioritize what matters most and move forward in confidence, purpose, and legacy. Hey, Chrissy, welcome to the Graceology podcast.

Thank you.
