Things I am Learning: A Mini-Series Episode 4
The Mosaic Life Podcast
Welcome back to The Mosaic Life Podcast. I am excited — and a little nervous— to share this mini-series. I want to take the time with these episodes to talk about the journey I have been on and what it has looked like for me, in this season of life and learning. Both through my experience in the last year at Denver Seminary, and just in living over the last few years. I hope you will be encouraged, spurred on and that you would lean into what is happening in your life and world. In today's episode, I am going to talk about legacy and what it looks like to take count of your life and the...
info_outlineWelcome to The Mosaic Life Podcast, this season we are excited to explore and dive into the topic of Worship. Through conversations with worship leaders from around the country (well actually the world) we will talk about how worship impacts our lives personally, how we engage in worship communally, and how both shape our faith. We believe these conversations will be formative for this community and hope you will take the time to lean all the way in and grow with us along the journey.
I am so excited to introduce the Mosaic Life community to Layla (Li-la) de la Garza. Layla comes to us from Monterrey, Mexico and while our heart languages are different the Spirit crosses all languages and connects hearts. Today we are going to talk about more than worship and we are honored to hear Layla’s story— I am grateful for how the conversation brings us right into the truth about faith, life, and worship. Let’s jump in.

Our goal for the Mosaic Life Podcast is to motivate you to embrace your story, lean into the passions God has given you, and live with intention and authenticity.
