About this episode

Hosanna Wong is here to help us start a multi-episode mini series on our next spiritual rhythm: worship.  She has been on this really beautiful journey of trying to uncomplicate worship and uncomplicate spiritual rhythms. As she researched for her latest book, Uncomplicate It, she actually asked 1,000 people all over

the world two questions:  1. What stands in the way of you connecting with God? 2. What’s a unique way you’ve been able to connect with God? From those conversations, she discovered seven different worship personalities—or, as she calls them, “praise-analities.” And I LOVE this because the point isn't to put you in a box or tell you, This is the one right way you worship God. It’s actually meant to set you free to worship God in the way you’re naturally wired—or in the way that makes sense for the season you’re in. Take the quiz to see what your Praise-o-nality is at hosannawong.com/quiz! Find the show notes here . . . . We’re unpacking the conversation even more over at SpirituallyStronger.com - it’s just like my old blogging days over there and I love it. . . . .
