Episode 147 Why Music Speaks to the Soul: Laura Story on Faith, Worship & God in Culture

Why can a song reach places in our hearts that ordinary conversation sometimes can't? In this episode of the Living Grounded Podcast, Ron sits down with Grammy-recognized, Dove Award-winning artist and songwriter Laura Story to explore why music speaks so powerfully to the human soul and why even a culture that wants little to do with God continues to sing about love, hope, belonging, suffering, and something beyond ourselves.

Laura pulls back the curtain on songwriting, worship, inspiration, and the responsibility of creating music that points people beyond emotion to the truth of God. She also shares how her husband's health struggles reshaped her understanding of faith, surrender, worship, and God's presence, and how she has learned to navigate recognition and success without allowing them to define her identity. From “Blessings” and “Indescribable” to “Faithful God” and “Grace,” this conversation explores how God can use music to awaken our deepest longings and ultimately draw us toward Him.
