Why We Praise: 7 Hebrew Words - Brian Barcelona

If praise ever felt like performance to you — lifting your hands while nothing inside matches the motion — this message will wreck you in the best way. Pastor Brian Barcelona doesn't just teach about praise. He lives it in the worst moments imaginable. In this sermon at Fearless LA, Pastor Brian Barcelona walks through the 7 Hebrew words of praise from the Old Testament — and wraps each one around the real story of his sister's survival of fentanyl addiction, sex trafficking, and the God who found her anyway. 📖 Scripture referenced: Psalm 63:4, Psalm 47:1, Psalm 95:6, Psalm 150:1, Psalm 34:1, Psalm 50:14 🔑 Key takeaway: Praise is not hype. It's a weapon — and it can't be optional.
