Constantly. But I generally consider either it’s not ready yet or it’s a co-writer. Almost like soaking in tongues and having an interpretation. I have the initial concept but need a partner (s) to complete.

Thank you so much, for calling out that tendency in our flesh would allow us to take part in being “An accuser of the Brethren”. It should break our hearts, and causes to be down on our knees .

So amazing! I love the clock analogy for prayer. The Lord is so endlessly wise.

Posted this interview. So blessed that I saw it, thank you Cory and Rita!

45:37 Listening to your interview with Mitch and his description of writing in hiddeness made me think and remember. I’m not a songwriter but I am a writer and a poet. Poetry for me involves exactly the same process and spending time with God in the secret place is where it’s safe to process and allow Holy Spirit to show me what I cannot see within the situation, trauma, or pain. Words are powerful and as long as I yield to Him, He gives me the words or vision that ministers to me and later to others who read those words. Amazing! 🙌

Hearing this song, reminds me of Amy Grant's song "Better than a Hallelujah." Just the raw honesty of it.. God wants it all. Sometimes we want to withhold what we are truly feeling while we're in these circumstances. We're afraid that we're going to hurt God, not understanding that (1) God already KNOWS we are having those feelings, and (2) He desires for us to pour out our hearts to Him. God is a refuge. SELAH!

I'm currently going through a financial wilderness. So many questions... more bills and debt than money and yet... He sends the raven to provide for me every day. I look up, smile, and I say Amen.

Well…there are biblical qualifications for leadership and I’m really surprised in a good way about Carl’s repentance but…dude totally disqualified himself. And he knows it! There’s being unsaved and doing stupid crap then coming to Christ and being a pastor but while they’re a Christian? Nah…he shouldn’t be pastoring, but definitely in the body of Christ

God could not care less about your singleness and suffering. All these empty platitudes are nothing but a cope.

I’m loving the heart of Carl and Laura Lentz.

This is a beautiful conversation. Blessings on you both!! ❤

Thank you for your compassion and call to prayer.

You ever get tired of James 2 and this whole "Growth" stuff?? Yes, I do too...

Have you ever tried to write a song but couldn't finish it?

Wow, what a great discussion. The end was so good I will be listening to it over and over. Bless both of you for you for being honest and transparent.

Admitting to only reading partial of Gods word and reading only the "grace and love" portion... shows the obstructed view of God many have. 2 Timothy 3:16 "ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." Its not "church politics" its Gods word. And respectfully, you do not just write songs for the church. You are a platformed worship "Leader". Love requires truth and grace. Not just grace. A good father disciplines his children. Its out of love i say this. I dont believe you're a heretic, everyones learning as they go but i do challenge you to read the full word of God and remember the only true power is through the gospel of Jesus Christ, not the eloquence of words or even your art. Romans 1:16

Wow. Thanks for this interview. I laughed way more than I anticipated, because it resonated so much. The beauty of authenticity minus pretense brought my heart so much satisfaction. Thank you!

I walked into the prayer room October of 09. I have no grid for the moment. I’m not charismatic I fly from California on the advice of a friend. I was a 40 year old man who had encountered Jesus only 2 years earlier. This hippy looking kid, Corey asbury, is singing “no more shackles, no more chains” and I am overwhelmed with the presence of God and I speak in tounges for the first time because I have no words. And I don’t believe in this stuff. It’s 10pm and the place is packed and wow. What a moment I will never forget it. Life changing does not begin to describe that moment.

Thank you for the honesty and I really appreciated the sharing on struggling with your natural inclinations and how grace is there when we fail. Bless you Cory!

I wonder if his wife knew that her husband abused a minor.

I don't know if you will ever see this, but WOW! This discussion was way more than I expected to get out of it! One of my all time favorite worship songs is Reckless Love, and I literally cry every single time. And just listening to all the flack you received, my heart really understands. The church has its issues for sure. I grew up in the church with a pastor as a father, and I watched the church terrorize my family for living in obedience and following His direction. And so I get that feeling. And then when I heard your story about how you chose your family over more money and fame, etc, and just a little over 2 months ago, my husband walked away from a job (for very different reasons) to protect and heal our family as well in obedience to God. He still doesn't have a job right now, but your story encouraged me that doing the right thing may not look like we expect, but we can count on God leading us, protecting us, and guiding us. He will be there through it all. Thank you for that encouragement. I just started bawling as you talked about that because it was a God moment for me to hear that. Thank you for that!

Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us, and save us.

Oh my goodness! This is amazing! I’m just a singer in my church worship group, but my primary calling is to intercede, and when the voice goes and I’m too old to keep that going, the intercession will be my go to. BUT I sing as a prayer, I sing with a heart’s desire for breakthrough and I’m not done yet with where God wants to take me with learning to bring the people to the Lord and then step back and watch Him and them meet each other. The priesthood is crucial, the hiddenness is crucial, and don’t do any of this if you are missing this out xx Its too important xx

Food addiction & obesity are more so in the category of other addictions like alcoholism. Not like a deformed person who had an accident.

Going by scripture, we must only eat foods that are created by God not man. Not processed foods made in a lab which is most any precooked food at the grocery store. To honor our body as his temple. Food addiction is more likely to happen with these processed foods, like sugar, seed oils & artificially flavors. Sometimes we can still binge on Whole Foods, which I had struggled with. we must remember that greed is a sin & so is laziness, to be at a healthy weight honors God & his creation.

Rita I believe this is your season that you're going to meet your husband. The Lord promised me a husband too. It's still new but my spirit feels something, and I approached him. 💜 Dare to believe again. This man Will be worth the wait 😀

it seems that there were/ are a lot of people seeing stuff behind the scenes. Why is there no Whistleblowing until massive damage has been done? See something, say something. Do a James O'Keefe if you have to. Surely, truth and transparency is the will God, and secrets are the plan of the enemy. I am disgusted as to how long it takes for these things to come out.

Corey defies the CCM bubble. I very much dislike the programmed packaged corporate crap. He’s the real deal.

Corey is so real and open. Will be a big fan now.

I love this.

This is so beautiful, thank you. Any chance you could change the settings to put ads at the beginning/ end rather than every 7mins or so throughout? 😊

Hey MI is amazing. Lived there most of my life but recently moved to AR. I wish I lived in SC or NC. Gorgeous places. This is a great eye opener and real life. Thanks for sharing

I find it so difficult to trust what God thinks over what I think about myself. And then when you have people look at you like you have two heads or treat you like you have the plague…it feels hopeless. Being a 49 yo single woman (knowing that my weight probably contributes greatly to that) fitting in at church (that is so family oriented) is so difficult. It’s like they just don’t know what to do with me. It really hurts. Thank you for talking about this. At least I know I’m not alone.

The church has regulated Jesus s sacrifice to 10% that's the problem

I like the burn question at the end. What fuels the fire? ❤

Kim keep asking us those questions they are important . Jesus needs to be the foundation . I think the church is waking up going wow what happened. I believe the holy spirit is moving .

Loved❤ He is our exceedingly great reward.

Grammy award? I see he helped with the CC believe for it project. That's awesome. I wonder if CC is a Christian ? Rita is very judgmental calling Mitch Wong a man of God. I would say it takes a lot of thought to conclude that somebody has been born of God , since everybody is born spiritually dead, somehow Rita has discerned this man is on his way to heaven, God did a supernatural miracle in his heart. ~I can tell and that's why I called him a man of God~ Very judgmental.I like that, the only question is. Is it true?

Where in scripture does it say to labor for the Lord in writing songs? Of course it's really awesome to write songs for God !! but I don't know any "Christian musician" that takes doctrine seriously moreover I see "Christian musicians" that couldn't care less about doctrine.

I love this song every time I feel like GOD not moving or I’m in storm I put repeat i always remember GOD is good always times

I like 99% of the words in reckless love, but wish he chose a word other than wreckless. I heard him try to explain the word choice on stage - that it is love without regard for ones own safety. Yes, that could be the case sometimes - but would you call a fireman who enters a burning building "wreckless"? I dare say he would be offended by that label. He is trained to deal with dangerous situations. It's only wreckless if you don't know what you're doing. Cory also said that God's love bankrupted heaven. That might be a "juicy" idea, but it is far from true.

Jesus Is So Beautiful Among Thousands!! Thousands!! Thousands. 🙌🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕🙌🙌🙌🙌

What A Wonderful Name It Is! The Name Of Jesus 🙌🙌

Rita! I never thought I would get the opportunity to thank you for the place your music has played in my life. “Created to Worship” has a special place in my heart. It is the soundtrack for a monumental year with the Lord (1999) and remains, for me, the model for unpretentious worship. Thank you!

Rita, I feel like a lot of your songs are the expressed cries of my heart. Cory also writes the cries of the human heart. Thank you both for being so real, and for making Jesus the prize.

Saved and shared. Beautiful. I have to go to work today, but you have set my day in peace and grace. Thank you this one is a keeper🙌

His message and heart remind me of Mylon Lefevre.

LOVE Jo Dee’s music 🎶💜

My take away is that God is growing our character. I left the lord for years and he waited for me and was patient…. The church hurt me and didn’t handle my situation right but I have the same grace god has shown me for that short coming. I love music ministry and enjoy my talent. Coming back I realized my character didn’t match my talent. I heard an awesome quote. God wants to grow my character before he grows my influence…. He doesn’t want my talents to take me somewhere my character can’t keep me. So I’m with Cory I just really wanna please god and love as cliche as it sounds.
