The Psalms don’t just tell stories of victory, they carry the long memory of God’s faithfulness. In this episode of Listening Porch, Ray Hughes and Eric explore what it really means to be a psalmist. Not just a songwriter, but a person whose life becomes praise. From David’s victories and failures to our own moments of shame, response, creativity, and redemption, this conversation reframes worship as something lived, not performed. We talk about: - Responding to God instead of reacting - How victory flows from God’s faithfulness, not self-effort - Why language, art, music, and creativity access God’s presence - Being a psalmist whether you sing, write, paint, or simply live faithfully - Seeing your life as God’s testimony in the earth - This episode takes the pressure off “doing praise right” and invites us to simply be the praise. -- Join Selah Creatives: Get access to all of Ray’s online courses, teachings, monthly live Zoom gatherings, and a community of over 100 like-spirited creatives → selahonline.teachable.com/p/selah-creatives Support Ray on Patreon: Receive his personal poetry, prose, and creative writings not shared anywhere else → patreon.com/rayhughes Visit Ray's Website: RayHughes.org
