What kinds of images come to mind when you hear the word worship? Do you think of lights, guitars, and harmonized vocals? Or perhaps a solemn atmosphere with or without music? Are you filled with excitement when you hear that word, or a sense of uncomfortability? The idea of worship may conjure up a variety of emotional and even physical stimuli; but the question we are asking is... what really is worship? What is the whole point, and how does God see it? Mikie Unverzagt, a seasoned worship pastor and leader joins us with his perspective... starting with "what worship is NOT."

Dr. Joe Vasta and his wife (who, like Joe, also has a PhD in mathematics) used to work with the Department of Defense as cryptological mathematicians before moving to the Central Coast of California. Dr. Vasta was, in his own words, "making and breaking codes for the U.S. Government" but "got tired of looking at 0s and 1s all day." Today, Justin and Dr. Vasta explore some unique mathematical aspects of the Bible, including prophecies about Jesus that are too scientifically reliable to ignore.

This is a continuation of the last podcast, "Walking as a Friend of God," where we laid a foundation for what it looks like to walk closely and intimately with God Almighty (what a radical thought!). This episode rides on the momentum of the last one and should provide a powerful encouragement concerning some of the practical ways God speaks and how you can tune in your ears to His voice in a noisy world. This is a power-packed one, so get ready to take some notes!
