Singing As Spiritual Practice

I am joined by a very special guest - my mother! Lou Ann Horstman shares her story of embracing her love of singing. You will be inspired by her journey with singing, how she traveled from seeing it as "decoration on the liturgy" to a rich and valid way of experiencing God's presence. Her story will make you want to sing more, and will ignite your curiosity about what practices might already exist in your life that are simply waiting to be taken seriously.
