In this episode, host John Chisum sits down with Darlene Zschech, iconic Australian songwriter of “Shout to the Lord,” a song introduced in 1993 that is still sung weekly by millions of people worldwide.
In this powerful interview, Darlene shares how “Shout to the Lord” came to her during a time of trial and why she feels she can take no credit for the song, how it passed through her, and personal stories of how God has used it in her life.
Darlene is a dedicated wife, mum, author, songwriter, and together with her husband Mark, pastor to thousands of believers through Hope Unlimited Church, now in 11 cities internationally, with a church planting and relief organization called Hope: Global (https://hopeglobal.org/) serving thousands of people in the neediest areas of the world.

6:00 "I want to be invisible here while I, you know, just give glory to God. And if he allows me the privilege of having any influence, that is a great privilege. But actually my goal is that He be seen and He'd be known and His presence being counted"
