The Bible says the Lord is “worthy of praise” (Psalm 18:3) and calls us to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (Colossians 1:10). Inspired by the worship song “Who Else” by Gateway Worship, Haley and Dustin talk through some of the lyrics and biblical concepts of the song. They discuss the role of music in our spiritual formation, how Jesus is worthy of all our worship, and what it means to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord” (Colossians 1:10). It’s an encouraging conversation about the Lord and how we can live in light of all that Jesus has done for us. See lyrics and link to the song below.
