Why do we sing? It's a stranger question than it sounds. Every Sunday, a room full of people opens their mouths and sings out loud — together.

In this opening message of Playlist Theology, Forrest explores the oldest Christian hymn ever discovered: a 35-word fragment found in an ancient Egyptian trash dump, sung by communities who risked everything to follow Jesus. At the center of that song is a bold claim — that God is the only giver of all good gifts.

What you believe about God shapes who you become. And sometimes, the songs we sing are the best way to remind our hearts of what's true before we fully feel it.
