Ep 249: Brooke Ligertwood: What If Your Life Isn't Supposed to Be a Highlight Reel? | Hey! It's The Luskos

About this episode
Worship leader and songwriter Brooke Ligertwood is back on the couch — a third-time guest whose new album Eat sets Scripture word-for-word to music. She and Levi swap stories about the time they turned a Montana set into the moon, talk through the marriage-saving phrase "is that a final draft?", and unpack her
philosophy of "iceberg life" — why the healthiest faith is 90% invisible. It ends, naturally, with wedding-night chaos and a burnt bridal gown. Connect with us on social!
