Episode notes
Garden Tulips and Peonies Prompt Worship
- Marshall Segal and his family planted 200 tulip bulbs and nurture peonies, which led him to notice how creation points him to worship.
- He connects enjoying flowers and sperm whales to seeing God's creativity and being prompted to sing Psalm 98.
Don't Squander Creation This Summer
- Do not squander creation this summer; intentionally go outside to look, listen, learn, and worship using creation as a prompt to sing.
- Segal urges finding something new each day—parks, beaches, or walks—to remind you to trust God and sing.
Singing Is How We Respond To Salvation
- Psalm 98 opens with a command to sing because God has worked salvation, linking worship directly to divine deliverance.
- Segal argues humans were given singing because some realities about God are too great for words alone and must be expressed in song.
