Welcome back to Lyric and Letter! This final episode of Season 2 brings us to the heart of what it means to worship God through struggles and triumphs. Inspired by Brandon Lake’s “Hard-Fought Hallelujah,” we’ll explore the transformative power of resilient worship—praise that rises from broken places and leads us into deeper surrender and trust.
As we close out this season, we’re reminded that hallelujah is more than a word—it’s a choice, an act of faith, and a declaration of God’s goodness in every season.
In this Episode:
- Unpack the deep meaning of hallelujah as both an invitation and a declaration rooted in God’s faithfulness.
- Reflect on the lives of Job, David, Jacob, and Paul, whose stories show us how worship can be a powerful act of trust amid life’s storms.
- Discover how “Hard-Fought Hallelujah” lyrics echo these biblical truths, offering an invitation to bring God our most honest and raw praise.
- Engage with reflection questions to help you find your hallelujah this Thanksgiving and beyond.
