What does a drunken encounter with a fortune teller have to do with one of the most powerful hymns ever written? On this episode of “Hit Me in the Head with a Hymn Book,” we uncover the dramatic and unexpected origins of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” Journey back to 1758 to meet a rebellious 17-year-old named Robert Robinson, whose life was irrevocably changed by the convicting words of a famous preacher. This is the story of a three-year spiritual struggle, a life-altering conversion, and the creation of a hymn that captures the endless “streams of mercy” in a way that still resonates today.

“God often does some of his deepest work at the table before he ever does it on a stage.” Join us as we dive into the “Acts 2 Model” of fellowship. In a world that is increasingly isolated and digital, the simple act of sitting down to eat with intention can be a radical act of ministry. We discuss why the early church grew daily through the power of hospitality and how we can reclaim our meal times from the “grind” of daily life to create an eternal impact.

Pablo Picasso once said a 30-second sketch took him 40 years to master. Your spiritual life is no different. If you feel like you’re just “grinding it out” without seeing results, this session is for you. We explore the “Holy Grind”—the sacred act of getting up every day, picking up your cross, and realizing that greatness isn’t born in a moment, but in decades of consistency.
