    Oct 22 2025
    🎙️ Episode 1: “He Said, ‘Stay, Stay, Stay with Jesus’ — The Story That Inspired It All” In this very first episode of The Message Behind the Melody, Geoff and Melody Larsen introduce the heart behind their new podcast — a place where faith and music meet. Each episode dives into the real-life stories and divine moments that have inspired Melody’s original songs. In this premiere, Melody shares the incredible story behind her song “Stay.” One day at a local farmer’s market, she met a Czechoslovakian-born man named Frank, who immediately recognized the light of Christ in her. With bold conviction, he told her, “Stay, stay, stay with Jesus.” Those powerful words resonated deeply, sparking the lyrics and message that became one of Melody’s most meaningful songs. Join us as we explore how God can use even a brief encounter to plant a lasting message — and how inspiration, when led by the Spirit, can become a melody that touches hearts around the world. ✨ Faith. Hope. Inspiration. That’s the message behind the melody. Enjoy the World Premier of "Stay" by Melody Larsen
