The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast

Tommy Walker’s songs are sung in churches all over the world every weekI asked Tommy to talk about how gratitude leads to worship, and worship leads to hope. We had a wonderful conversation that I think will be a blessing to you.Scripture: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness[a] be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.Philippians 4:6-8 ESVTommy Walker Ministries on InstagramMusic by Tommy Walker(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.
