This Worship Wednesday, Pastors Zack and Noah take you behind the scenes of last week's powerful SCO Camp Meeting at Hocking Hills Retreat Center. From unforgettable worship moments to the Spirit moving in unexpected ways, we’re unpacking it all.

Plus, we talk about how worship looked a little different this past Sunday at Gahanna and Johnstown campuses—with much of our gear still down at the retreat center, we embraced a more stripped-down, raw worship experience. And guess what? God still showed up.

In this episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, we continue our deep dive into Psalm 51, focusing on the powerful themes of restoration, renewal, and spiritual transformation.

After confronting his sin, King David cries out for a clean heart and a steadfast spirit. But what does true repentance look like? And how does God respond to a broken and contrite heart?

Join us as we explore:

• The meaning of godly sorrow and why it leads to lasting change
• The role of the Holy Spirit in restoring joy and purpose
• How David’s prayer models the path to spiritual renewal
• What it means to be cleansed, restored, and made new in God’s grace

Whether you're seeking healing, a fresh start, or a deeper walk with God, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and biblical insight for your journey.

In this episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, we explore one of the most raw and redemptive moments in Scripture—King David’s fall and his heartfelt cry in Psalm 51.

What happens when a man after God’s own heart commits adultery, orchestrates a cover-up, and faces the crushing weight of guilt? We unpack the context behind David’s sin with Bathsheba, the consequences of hidden transgression, and the transformative power of true repentance.

🔍 What you'll learn:

• The story behind Psalm 51 and David’s moral failure
• The biblical meaning of sin, transgression, and iniquity
• How confession opens the door to God’s grace and restoration
• Why David’s story still speaks to us today
