In this uplifting episode of The Compelled Podcast, Emma Mae McDaniel invites listeners into part two of her four-part series, Choosing to Praise. Emma reminds us that remembering God’s past faithfulness strengthens our present praise. Reflecting on Psalm 63 and the story of her daughter’s bubble baths, Emma beautifully illustrates how God gently reassures us — “I’ve always taken care of you, and I always will.” Through Scripture and personal reflection, she encourages us to recall the moments when God has provided, guided, and carried us, so that memory itself becomes a reason to lift our hearts in worship.

Choosing Praise Pt. 1
Praise is a personal choice we get to make, no matter what we feel or face. In this kickoff to the November “Series of Praise,” we dive into Psalm 9 and Psalm 92 and learn how giving thanks, rejoicing in God, and declaring His love strengthens our hearts and fixes our focus on what is true. When we proclaim His goodness in the morning and His faithfulness at night, we’re reminded that He is always worthy, and we are never alone. Let this episode encourage you to choose praise in every season.

The Great Commission: You are a Part of Something Bigger than You
In this powerful episode of The Compelled Podcast, Emma Mae McDaniel invites listeners to remember the awe-inspiring truth that their lives are part of something far bigger than themselves. With humility and passion, she opens Matthew 28:18–20 to remind us that all authority belongs to Jesus—and because He is with us, we are called and commissioned to go. Whether across the street or across the world, each of us has a part to play in sharing His love and bringing light to those who’ve never heard His name. Be encouraged to live boldly, love deeply, and go wherever God calls you, knowing you don’t go alone.
