Episode 196 - Methodist Traditions

“Praise and Worship Psalms” by Jos Tharakan is a joyful musical celebration of the timeless prayers of Scripture. Each track is inspired by the Psalms—ancient songs that have carried the hopes, fears, gratitude, and praise of God’s people for thousands of years. Through gentle rhythms, expressive melodies, and uplifting harmonies, these musical psalms invite the listener into a sacred space of worship and spiritual renewal.

From songs of thanksgiving to reflections on God’s steadfast love, from quiet moments of trust to triumphant declarations of hope, this album captures the full beauty and emotional depth of the Psalter. Every composition is crafted to lift the heart, calm the mind, and draw the soul closer to the presence of God.

Whether used for prayer, meditation, personal devotion, or communal worship, “Praise and Worship Psalms” offers a vibrant soundtrack of faith—an invitation to rejoice, to rest, and to worship with the words given by God Himself.

Youth ministry is not a solo sport, but far too often youth workers feel like they have to do it alone. We are here to help with that. Every week some of the top United Methodist youth workers offer free resources from their real-world ministries. You’ll find everything from games to downloadable lessons to coaching on how to put together a budget.

We hope that when you get online to work, you don’t feel like you have to do it all yourself. We want to be the first place you turn for games, lessons, ideas, coaching, and personal devotions.
