Ep. 179 || Make a Joyful Noise
There’s just something about music that helps us remember things we’ve learned in a way that other methods can’t match! In this episode, Emily and Laura celebrate our opportunity to worship God through song. No matter what our singing voices sound like, we can all benefit from remembering God’s goodness and faithfulness through shared songs in the Christian faith. By inviting these moments of worship into our homes, we’re able to experience the joy of knowing God and resting in his promises as a whole family.

Have you ever noticed that you can remember the lyrics to your favorite song from sixth grade but not how to balance an atomic equation? Music helps us remember things! How might music have an impact on your family spiritually?
Music can be used to remember the ways God has been faithful to us and how he’ll continue to be faithful to us in the future. Spend some time thinking of biblically-rich hymns or worship songs that will teach your children the promises of God. What have these songs taught you?
How can you incorporate music into your house rhythms to help impress these truths on your heart? How does remembering the gospel bring grace into our lives and our homes?
Our hearts are easily distracted, but we know God’s truth can help reorient us to a right perspective. How can singing about the characteristics of God help your family rejoice amidst struggles or uncertainty?
One wonderful aspect of learning hymns is that we’re able to join with other believers to worship together with the same song. How might you help your kids learn some of the more celebrated hymns (ex. “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “Come Thou Fount,” “It Is Well,” etc.) so they can join in corporate worship, which is a foretaste of heaven?
