  • NICK SEMERARO

    AUDIO DIRECTOR

    I have been an audio nerd for a while, but the closer the Lord has drawn me to him, the more and more I have felt led to use that for his Kingdom! The last few years have been some of the toughest of my life. However, thanks to his grace, they have not been the darkest. I feel this season of my life can relate to David's Psalm 13. 


    It starts out and you go, wow man, um this seems like you just want to make me depressed! But he ends it in Verse 5 and 6 so beautifully, saying "Psalms 13:5-6. [5] But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. [6] I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.


    "Even though life can seem crazy and chaotic, we can still trust in His loving kindness, and his goodness! And he will bless us out of his incredible bounty! My mom would always remind me, "rejoice in the Lord always and again I say Rejoice!"
