A couple of notes worth sharing this week. A Quick Note on Timing Before anything else: I actually recorded this episode last week, and I’m scheduling it to post ahead of time. So when I say “this week,” I’m really writing from a week ago — if a de

The weekly cadence is settled now — what I want to talk about this week is the where. There are a few new places to find MTPB content that haven’t made it into a post yet.

Music To Pray By Podcast 76 May 16, 2026 34:40 Six weeks in. Podcast 76 is up, and I think we can officially call this a routine. Not a lot of new equipment news this week — the pipeline is settling into a real rhythm, which is the goal. The MTPB weekly process from recording to publish to Prayer Shorts is more refined than I’ve ever had it, and I’m starting to feel like I can think about music again instead of about workflow

Music To Pray By Podcast 75 May 9, 2026 30:12 Five weeks in. Podcast 75 is up — and this one had to be re-recorded from scratch, which is a story in itself. (More on that below.) Same compile as Podcast 74: live worship piano from the morning streams, stitched into a single listen. We’re still running about two weeks behind in the release cycle, which is fine. If you’re new here, the launch-week post walks through what Music

This week’s episode is drawn from the streams on April 13–15 — we’re running about two weeks be

Music To Pray By Podcast 73 Apr 26, 2026 28:59 Three weeks in. Podcast 73 is up, and the rhythm I’ve been hoping for is starting to feel real. The 6 AM streams are still rolling every weekday, and I’m more convinced than ever that this morning hour belongs to prayer. Podcast 73 is compiled the same way Podcast 72 was — the past week of live worship sessions stitched into a single listen. If you’re new here, the launch-w

Music To Pray By Podcast 72 Apr 20, 2026 30:23 Two weeks in. Podcast 72 is here, and a rhythm is starting to settle in. The morning streams have kept rolling at 6 AM every weekday, and each one teaches me something new — about the piano, about the prayer, about what it looks like to sit down at a grand piano and worship while the rest of the world is still waking up. What started as “can I even pull this off?” has turned into

Music To Pray By Podcast 71 Apr 13, 2026 29:10 This is it — the first official podcast from the new era of Music To Pray By. Podcast 71 is compiled from the first three live worship sessions, recorded Good Friday through Easter Sunday 2026. If you’ve been following along, you know that we launched live streaming on Good Friday, and those first three sessions hold a special place — recorded during the most sacred weekend of the Christian

Podcast Seventy Jan 23, 2016 33:30 This comprises of the songs left out of the Music To Pray By album "My Father in Heaven". This is the first podcast recorded on my new Yamaha DC7XE3 Grand Piano as well as all new mics and pre-amps. I believe it is the best sounding piano audio I've ever captured. I hope and pray it inspires you to pray and spend time in our Heavenly Father's Presence.

Podcast Sixty-nine Jun 25, 2014 30:45 The last podcast to be recorded on my Yamaha DC3M4. It goes away tomorrow, and though it’s only been 4 years, I feel as though I have a tremendous amount of history with that wonderful piano. I actually had to pick and choose from about 2 hours worth of recordings since I’m not sure if the old format will be supported on the new piano. I’m truly excited about the capabilities and

Podcast Sixty-eight Jan 2, 2014 31:14 Yet another all-original podcast. I did use some pretty familiar chord progressions, but I also tried out some new styles. I’m definitely looking forward to trying this podcast out tomorrow morning during my devotional. Sorry this came a little late. I spent way more time editing than I have in the past largely due to Logic Pro X, the new version of pro audio software I use. Some of the edit

Podcast Sixty-seven Feb 24, 2013 29:34 You may not hear any familiar melodies as this podcast is mostly original. I've adopted a fairly new process to recording the podcast. Rather than attempting to record all 30+ minutes in one sitting, I've just sat at the piano and pressed "record" as the Holy Spirit has led throughout the past quarter. It has been working out okay so far. It also gives me an opportunity to select the best recordin

Podcast Sixty-six Nov 24, 2012 31:23 I think this might end up being my favorite podcast to date. What God has brought me through over the past 7 months is expressed in this music since even today I fail to grasp the words to properly convey what God has done in me. Even the technical part of getting this recorded was met with enormous opposition. I had hoped to post this on Wednesday, but two completely separate devices in my studio

Podcast Sixty-five Mar 12, 2012 31:31 In this podcast, I used songs Soundwave prepared for DCYC - they are "Strong Enough to Save", "Your Name High", "Forever Reign", "Always", "Your Great Name", and "Our God". I think this is probably the first podcast ever to be original-free, although, it does contain some originality. Those who like consistently quite and peaceful podcasts may not enjoy this one as much since I get a bit loud in

Podcast Sixty-four Nov 22, 2011 31:37 What a crazy couple of weeks it has been! I won't bore you with all the details, but the end result is I finally have a new podcast. You'd think after 3 years of doing this I'd have it down but I don't. This podcast required a massive amount of editing, but I think it turned out okay. I did find some ways to improve the audio over the previous podcasts. The only issue is there's too big of a dynam

Podcast Sixty-three Oct 17, 2011 30:00 I finished mixing the Soundwave album last week so I'm back at it - thanks for your patience. This podcast, I only used "Hosannah" for a brief period. The rest is original - some from previous podcasts and some that's fresh and new. An interesting stat about this podcast is it's the first to be exactly 30 minutes long! I admit, I stretched the end out a little, but it was already pretty close. I a

Podcast Sixty-two Aug 29, 2011 32:40 I used quite a few worship songs during this podcast - "Give Me Faith", "Our God", "I Lift My Hands", and "Mighty To Save". In a way, a lot of this podcast sounds repetitive to me compared to previous podcasts. It's becoming a little challenging to keep things unique considering there is already over 30 hours of podcasts. :-) If this podcast inspires you to pray, mission accomplished.

Podcast Sixty-one Aug 1, 2011 29:34 Still searching for the best mic placement and mix, but I think its getting there. Most all the tunes are repeat or new originals. You may recognize one or two of them. I pray that every note played will encourage you to seek God's Kingdom first. Peace.

Podcast Sixty Jul 4, 2011 30:53 This podcast has familiar melodies from others, but I believe it has uniqueness. I did use one melody from the chorus of "Pour My Love on You". I used a new mic and mic positions, and there was definitely more dynamics than usual, but this was my heart of worship at the time. Happy 4th of July!

Podcast Fifty-nine Jun 6, 2011 32:29 This podcast, I used the songs, "Came to My Rescue" and "I Will Exalt". Since I actually recorded this podcast over a month ago, I had to refer to planning center for the song names. Interesting fact: this podcast contains 16,782 notes, and I probably touched 80-90% of them during the editing process. :-) I either need to learn how to play better or be less picky about timing issues. I hope you en

Podcast Fifty-eight May 10, 2011 31:33 It's finally finished! The songs used are mostly original. I did play a familiar melody at the tail end. Most of it is a little more fast-paced than the norm. May you continue to be inspired to pray through my offering of worship to our wonderful Creator. To Him be the glory!

Podcast Fifty-seven Apr 11, 2011 30:40 This week we had Wednesday Night worship at The Connection Church so I used quite a few songs from that service - "Mighty To Save", "Came To My Rescue", and "Awakening", a new worship song by Chris Tomlin that is pretty awesome. Be sure to check it out if you haven't heard it yet. A couple originals are included as well. One was from a previous podcast. I'm still on a quest for the perfect piano m

Podcast Fifty-six Mar 28, 2011 29:42 I used only one song this podcast. It’s by Robbie Seay, and it’s called “Crazy Love”. The rest is original. This podcast is actually a second take since the first didn’t record properly. I always thought recording to MIDI would eliminate having to re-record podcasts, but not true. I did learn that the Disklavier does not like any kind of MIDI signal coming into it when recording so hopefully this

Podcast Fifty-five Mar 14, 2011 30:46 I used two songs from last week’s service for today’s podcast – “Forever Reign”, and “God You Reign”. The rest is original. I used a different acoustic piano sample for editing the MIDI this week, and it actually disguised a lot of the small timing issues which is good and bad. The good is it took me half the time to edit (~4 hours instead of ~8). The bad is I notice them when playing back on the

Podcast Fifty-four Feb 28, 2011 30:56 We did a new song called "Our God" by Chris Tomlin in church last week, and it's a beautiful song so that's what I started this podcast with. The rest is somewhat original. A familiar melody came to mind towards the end, but I couldn't pinpoint where it came from. Feel free to leave a comment if you recognize it.

Podcast Fifty-three Feb 14, 2011 30:10 This week I used a new song we played at church called “Came to My Rescue”. It is a wonderful worship song and it would be worthwhile to check out the lyrics if you haven’t heard them before. I also played “Amazing Love” and “You are My King”. The rest is original. Even though I didn’t spend as much time fixing timing issues as the last podcast, I did spend most of the weekend editing. I hope and

Podcast Fifty-two Jan 31, 2011 31:35 I used new mics and new mic placements for this podcast, and have to say, this may be the best podcast yet in my opinion. God is so good! It is such a huge blessing an honor to be serving Him in this way. Everything but the beginning of the last song is original. Pray without ceasing!

Podcast Fifty-one Jan 17, 2011 30:31 It seems like ages ago that the last podcast was posted even though it's only been 4 weeks. The piano was recently tuned and is sounding wonderful. I've had this podcast ready for a while now. There were some issues with the sustain pedal after we got the technical problems resolved so I had to fine-tune the sustain MIDI data in a number of locations, which may be noticeable in some places. You'll

Podcast Fifty Dec 20, 2010 31:02 Merry Christmas! Well, this is the place to come when you're burnt out on all the Christmas music being played everywhere. I had planned on adding a Christmas song or two, but that didn't work out. Everything this week is original.

Podcast Forty-nine Dec 6, 2010 31:54 This week is all original since the church set list is pretty much all Christmas music. There were a couple that weren't Christmas songs, but they weren't really appropriate. Well, maybe one was. I guess I might do it for the next podcast since the set lists for the rest of the month are going to be full of Christmas songs.

Podcast Forty-eight Nov 22, 2010 31:32 A podcast subscriber suggested recording without the usual increase in dynamics so I gave it a shot. My wife has actually suggested this as well a while back. I hope you enjoy it. I used the following songs: "Real", "I Will Rise", "Healer", "None but Jesus", and one melody I don't recall the song it came from. It wasn't really planned. I hope you have a wonderful Thanks Giving!

Podcast Forty-seven Nov 8, 2010 32:49 I used "Jesus Saves, "All I Need is You", and "Give Me Faith" this week. Again, I had the mic / audio interface problem, but I didn't discover it till it was too late so no second-take this time. I tried to compensate by automating the pan, but it's still not like I'd like it. This issue also caused me to use a bit more compression than I'd normally use. Hope it's not too much of a distraction. I'

Podcast Forty-six Oct 25, 2010 30:29 I used the following songs: “Your Grace is Enough”, “King of Glory”, and sort of used the chord progressions of ”Own Little World”. Once again, there ended up being a lot of timing issues in this podcast. Can’t wait to get the Disklavier. That will make timing much less of an issue. This podcast is actually a second take. My first take got botched for some strange reason. The left channel kept fa

Podcast Forty-Five Oct 11, 2010 31:22 Happy 10-10-10! Did you know that in some areas, the number of people getting married today is 10 times the norm! I happen to be at one of those weddings today. My best bud since the 7th grade is getting married! It was really hard to leave my wonderful wife with our 4-day-old son, Jacob, and our 2-year-old Sanban, but thankfully my mom is there to help out while I’m gone. At any rate, this podcas

Podcast Forty-four Sep 27, 2010 33:19 There are quite a few familiar melodies from previous podcasts in this one. The only song I sort of used was "Your Love is Amazing". I didn't spend as much time editing this week since I kind of ran out of time. Yoko and I just hit our eleventh anniversary, which is really exciting. We went out to eat at our favorite restaurant and sort of took it easy this weekend. I hope this week's podcast is a

Podcast Forty-three Sep 13, 2010 33:47 I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked editing this podcast, but I think it still turned out okay. I'll be out all day on Sunday for a Soundwave gig in Waco so I had to get everything done on Saturday. I only used the song "Jesus Saves" at the end. The rest is original - some melodies may even sound a little familiar from previous podcasts. I pray it inspires you to draw near to

Podcast Forty-two Aug 30, 2010 34:02 This podcast, I used "Beautiful The Blood" and "You'll Come". The rest of it is original. I tried some different editing and mixing tools so it may sound a little different than previous podcasts. I hope this isn't distracting.

Podcast Forty-One Aug 15, 2010 31:29 The following songs were used in this podcast - "Tear Down The Walls", "Your Name High", and the Soundwave original that we just recorded in the studio, "Confidence". There are some original melodies as well. I feel like this podcast turned out really well. I hope you enjoy it.

Podcast Forty Aug 2, 2010 31:59 The only familiar song used was "Glory to God", and I mixed in some original stuff. There are some pieces of some new Soundwave songs that'll be on the next album we're working on currently. The rest is original - there might be a familiar melody or two.

Podcast Thirty-nine Jul 19, 2010 30:45 The only familiar song used was "Glory to God", and I mixed in some original stuff. There are some pieces of some new Soundwave songs that'll be on the next album we're working on currently. The rest is original - there might be a familiar melody or two.

Podcast Thirty-eight Jul 6, 2010 31:48 The following songs were used in this podcast: "Your Grace Is Enough", "Marvelous Light", "Sing, Sing, Sing", and "This is the Air I Breathe". Throughout recording, the mic placement changed slightly so there are some noticeable variances in the tone. The next podcast will have a more consistent tone throughout since I believe I've found the "sweet spot".

Podcast Thirty-Seven Jun 24, 2010 31:34 Felt a little rusty recording this one after 6 months off. It's great to be back at it. There's a pretty even mix of original melodies and contemporary songs like "God You Reign", and "God Of This City".

Podcast Thirty-six Dec 27, 2009 30:28 I Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We certainly did hanging out with the family. I just realized that we didn't take any pictures. We really need to designate someone to do that next time we get together because there are so many memories to be captured. This is the last podcast of 2009, and it is all original. I hope you enjoy it.

Podcast Thirty-five Nov 16, 2009 28:44 This podcast, I used a completely different setup to record. I'll blog more about it later. I used a number of familiar tunes. It was basically our set list for church this Sunday, and I think it turned out okay. There are some sounds in the background that got picked up by my new setup in the beginning, but they shouldn't be too distracting. I hope this podcast inspires you to spend more time in

Podcast Thirty-four Nov 2, 2009 32:38 I decided to change the naming from "week" to "podcast" since these will no longer be weekly. However, I will attempt to record one every other week. This podcast was actually recorded last Monday, but I wasn't able to finish editing and mastering till this evening. The only recognizable song used is "Revelation Song" which I think I've done a few times. I also had issues with the R-09HR so I'm ab

Week Thirty-three Oct 12, 2009 28:18 This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but it has been a very busy weekend. I thought that after the exam, I'd have a lot more time to do stuff, but that certainly is not the case. At any rate, it was certainly a change in pace to sit down at the freshly tuned grand piano and worship for 30 minutes. I played a number of familiar melodies, but they're all kind of mixed together so I won't try t

Week Thirty-two Jul 26, 2009 28:22 This day last year was my first post to the Music To Pray By Blog and now, a year later, there have been close to 30,000 downloads of 16 hours of recorded piano music to pray by. This is truly a God thing. This week was kind of a half-way point between when I started really studying for the CCIE and the dredded date of October 2nd so I took a break. Since mid-May, I've put in right at 300 hours of

Week Thirty-one Apr 19, 2009 31:31 During this podcast, I used the songs: "Hosanna", "Mighty to Save", and a new song called "Forever". We're doing it for the first time at church tomorrow. It's a great song and it's not the one yall might be familiar with - it just happens to have the same title. Some of the songs are repeats, but we've done them recently at church and it just seemed right. It was truly a joy to sit down at the gr

Week Thirty Apr 4, 2009 35:38 This one is a little longer than usual. I just didn't feel like stopping. I used a number of familiar melodys and chord progressions in this week's podcast. I hope you enjoy it.

Week Twenty-nine Mar 22, 2009 31:10 The bi-weekly podcast is here. I decided to get it done today so that I can focus on studying for the CCIE tomorrow after church and group. I missed the "record" button again. I ended up playing for over an hour today so that I'd have something to post. The first 30 minutes may have been a little better than the later 30 due to a little bit of frustration after realizing the first 30 minutes didn'

Week Twenty-eight Mar 9, 2009 28:58 I've gotta make this quick - Don is out there working hard without me and has been for the past couple of hours while I finish up this week's podcast. I used a few songs from Sunday morning service - "You Said", and "There will be a day". I also used a Soundwave song since we had practice on Friday. Live free! Pray hard!

Week Twenty-seven Feb 23, 2009 32:00 Sunday morning worship was awesome this morning! We had a new guitar player who rocked the house! What a great sermon by Cole too! This week, I did some familiar songs: "Revelation Song", "Love Story", "Abba Father", and "Here I am to Worship", and all I can say is what a wonderful way to end a great weekend. I had loads of fun chillin' with the 'lil one while Yoko took a much needed break with he

Week Twenty-Six Feb 9, 2009 28:40 Keeping it short this week - I used the songs "I Can Only Imagine", and "God of this City". I know I've played these songs before, but we did them at church today so I decided to do them again. God bless!

Week Twenty-five Feb 2, 2009 31:59 Sorry about getting this posted a little late. I recorded it this afternoon after church, but had to head over to the Petreas for our small group Super Bowl Bash. It was a blast, but left a little early so I could mix and post the MTPB blog. This week I used the songs "Audience of One", "Your Name", and "None but Jesus" all of which we played during this Sunday morning worship service which turne

Week Twenty-four Jan 26, 2009 31:46 I don't know where to begin. This week was almost a no go because of work, but I just couldn't miss another week of Music to Pray By even though I missed Soundwave practice yesterday and church today because of the network outages and hardware failures we've been having all weekend... At any rate, this week was all original, and runs a little more than 30 minutes - I hope it inspires you to spend

Week Twenty-three Jan 12, 2009 28:20 This week I used the chord progressions of some of the songs we played today for worship. I used a different position for the R-09HR, which caused it to pick up more from the sound board rather than the strings.

Week Twenty-two Jan 5, 2009 29:04 Happy new year! I was going to do a seperate "happy new year" post, but never got around to it. For the first podcast of the new year, I used the songs "Your Name", and a little bit of "Thy Word". I know I've played "Your Name" in a previous podcast, but we did it for church this morning, and I couldn't get it out of my head. The rest is original. "...Pray without ceasing!" 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Week Twenty-one Dec 29, 2008 29:16 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. The songs I used this week are, "All Over the World", "One Life to Love", and "How He Loves". They may not be very recognizable, and I kept wanting to go from 4/4 to 6/8. In fact, most if it ended up being in 6/8. This is the last podcast of 2008! Until next year...

Week Twenty Dec 22, 2008 30:05 The only song I used this week was "Mighty to Save" somewhere in the middle. The rest is original. I kind of got in the habit of picking songs out of The Connection Church worship set list, but since we've been doing mostly Christmas songs the past few weeks, there hasn't been much to choose from lately. I actually recorded yesterday but decided to edit, mix, and post today. This podcast is the cl

Week Nineteen Dec 15, 2008 29:04 Even though I only missed 1 week, it feels like a lifetime. It really felt great to sit down at the piano and worship today. I kept the podcast original this week with the exception of a different variation of the song "Love Inside" that Jeremy introduced to me yesterday. I'm just blown away at how great God is and by how He can love us the way He does!

Week Eighteen Nov 29, 2008 30:37 Once again, this week is all original. The same thing happened again where the recorder wasn't actually recording for the first 10 minutes which was very frustrating since that probably would have been the best part of the podcast. I hope my frustration doesn't show through in what was actually recorded. I ended up making more mistakes than usual which increased the editing time, but I think it st

Week Seventeen Nov 23, 2008 30:56 This week is completely original. I didn't use any songs. I also used a different position for the mic. It still picked up some lower frequencies better than the mids and highs, but I was able to fix this with an EQ. I know that I've been bad about blogging even though the election is over. Quite a bit has been happening at work lately. We found out shortly after the election that AT&T decided to

Week Sixteen Nov 17, 2008 31:23 The songs used this week are "You are my King (Amazing Love)", "Enough", and the rest isn't really any particular song. I realize I'm a day late this week. It's because there was a network outage yesterday at work and I ended up working from 11:00 AM till 1:00 AM this morning. Just a heads up - I may try something new this week. I think if I just sit down for 5 or 10 minutes every day this week an

Week Fifteen Nov 9, 2008 28:14 Wow - another day of problems, but at least there is a podcast to post this time. I've never had anybody come to the door and ring the doorbell while I was recording, but that happened today. I hope I wasn't too rude to the visitor dropping off cookie dough that Yoko bought from her for a fundraiser. Also, the batteries in my audio recorder died before I was done so this week is a little short aga

Week Fourteen Oct 25, 2008 28:06 The songs used this week are "He Reigns" and "Hosanna". I think I've done "Hosanna" before, but this should be a different variation. If you listen to the podcasts very much, all of it may start to sound similar. I hope this is okay, and if used as intended, prayer will be the focus rather than the music. I'm listening to it right now and it's obvious especially in the octives that tuning is defin

Week Thirteen Oct 19, 2008 30:22 Today I used the following songs: Great God, You are My King, and Day after day. I haven't been blogging much the past few weeks, which should change in the next couple months. A quick note on the tuning - I checked it today and the grand seems to be holding tune okay. I think it has a lot to do with mic placement, which should be resolved since I took more time to work on this today, and I believ

Week Twelve Oct 12, 2008 30:34 Sorry I'm a day late in getting the podcast posted this week. Yoko, SanBan, and I spent the entire day out visiting family in the Houston area on Saturday. This week I tried a different mic placement and I'm not sure if it came out as well as I thought it would. Plus, I think the piano is finally slipping a little out of tune. I'm going to try to get it tuned either this week or next. The songs I

Week Eleven Oct 5, 2008 31:59 As promised, I played around a little with mic placement and believe I found a good spot. I actually used 4 songs for the first time. They are: I Can Only Imagine, From The Inside Out, Who am I, and Amazed. I really enjoyed playing this week. I normally have the lid of the grand piano closed, but I had it wide open this time, and the sound was wonderful. God is good!
