Episode 1
September 21, 2026Every song has a story, and like a frame around a picture, that story can help us see its beauty in a fresh way. In this episode, David Wollen explores the story behind the beloved hymn Be Still My Soul and how its Christ-centered words have brought hope and peace to believers through some of life’s deepest trials.
