In this powerful and personal episode of The Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach sits down with Meredith Andrews to talk about what it really means to worship through suffering. Known for her anthems of faith and honesty, Meredith opens up about her journey of learning to praise in the valley, not just the victory. Together, Zach and Meredith unpack what it looks like to choose worship as a response — even when emotions are raw and circumstances don’t make sense. They explore why worship is often most powerful in the valley, how praise helps us anchor to God's character in the middle of pain, what it looks like to remember God’s faithfulness when you're tempted to forget, the beauty of raw, real worship that doesn’t fake it — but presses through it, and the stories behind some of Meredith’s most vulnerable songs. This episode is for anyone who feels like lifting their hands is the last thing they want to do — but who’s ready to experience the healing power of God’s presence again.
