Here's the host of Revive Our Hearts, Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth.

Last night, as I was thinking about today's program, during the night, things were just running through my head.

And I was remembering those days back in college when I was a piano major.

And there's a type of musical composition that's called theme and variations.

Music and variations. I've played these by various composers in the past, and here's what it does.

It starts with a simple musical theme and just plays it.

And then the composer gives you that theme made in different variations.

So you play it multiple times, sometimes 10, 20 or 30 times.

It can be a short theme.

And then you just play it over and over again, but it's treated a little differently each time.

It sounds different each time.

But you can always hear that same theme running through the music from beginning to end.

We'll hear some spiritual themes and variations today on the Revive Our Hearts podcast with

Nancy DeMas Walgamuth, author of Brokenness, The Heart God Revives. For May 18th,

2023, I'm Dana Gresh. Do you remember the day you gave your life to the Lord?

Not everyone can pinpoint an exact date, but Nancy knows that on May 14, 1963, she recognized her sin

and trusted in Jesus to save her. That was 60 years ago last Sunday.

This week, we've been looking at the so-called spiritual birthday gifts all of us believers have

received. It's an encouraging list. And if you missed any of those episodes, you'll find them on

the Revive Our Hearts app or at

revive our hearts.com slash podcast. Today, Nancy has another encouraging list for us. I'll let her

explain how it ties into that concept of theme and variations that she just mentioned. Here's Nancy.
