Episode notes
Leading In a Relaxed, Expectant Way
- Nick describes New Wine stages as relaxed places where leaders wait on God rather than rushing a set.
- He admits sometimes they get it wrong, but often God overrides mistakes, producing unexpected fruit.
Song Born In Covid, Finished In One Hour
- Nick first sketched Hallelujah Jesus Saves during COVID while co-writing with Brenton Brown over Zoom.
- The song resurfaced in a one-hour write at Gas Street and got finished, demoed and played the same evening which launched its live life.
Heart Of The Song Is A Call To Courage
- The central heartbeat became "Oh my soul take courage, you were born for a time like this," not the original chorus.
- That verse reframes the song as a calling to live courageously in the present moment grounded in scripture.
