Host: Roma Waterman
Guest: Judd Field — Singer/Songwriter, Session Vocalist, Melbourne Gospel Choir, Creative Director for When God Sings
Episode Theme: The prophetic creation of the song Like a Child from Roma’s new project When God Sings—shows how a “single-section” song became a powerful, Spirit-led experience through surrender, collaboration, and spirit-led backing vocals. Plus: the short film-style music video born from a vision of a pilgrim running to the secret place all came from step by step leading by the Holy Spirit, to create a beautiful worship song that is the introduction to the album.
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to co-write with the Holy Spirit, or how a worship song becomes a prophetic encounter, this episode will deeply encourage you — whether you're a songwriter, worship leader, or someone hungry for more of God's presence in creativity.
