Episode 13 – Go Big or Go Home

🎙️ This week’s Sunday sermon is all about going BIG.Last week we preached “Less Is More,” but sometimes… less just isn’t enough. Sometimes the only option is Go Big or Go Home.In this episode:

• ✈️ The Ultimate Lyric Writing Drill (Henley + Mercury method)
• 🥘 Go Big Skillet Mac & Cheese — comfort food for hungry songwriters
• ✅ Life Hack: The Yes/No Drill (ditch the maybes for good)
• 🌻 Tribute: Brian Wilson’s Sunflower, Surf’s Up, and the legacy of Love & Mercy

Special note: This blog post version will feature my own original song, “You Were There,” with its church-organ intro.

📖 Journaling Prompt: Write down your three biggest maybes and flip them to YES or NO. Then write one sensory image of summer and one truth you’re afraid to say — and marry them. That’s how Brian did it. That’s how timeless songs are born.❤️ Love and mercy, to you and your friends tonight.
