Music wields an unparalleled power — it can evoke poignant memories and fuel our actions with purpose and vigor.

Who among us hasn’t blasted the Rocky Soundtrack to psych ourselves up before a big game or listened to BB King after a breakup?

In my time as a missionary abroad, I leaned on music as a source of inspiration and motivation. I’ve created a playlist that has served as my personal soundtrack in the field, and I’m excited to share it with you. This isn’t your typical gospel worker’s playlist — there’s no “I Can Only Imagine” or other oft-repeated tracks here — Deep Cuts Only.

I’m sharing 10 tracks in this article, but the entire playlist is available at the very bottom of the page.

So, without further delay, let me take you on a sonic journey through my unconventional pregame playlist.

Liz Vice: Empty me out

Liz’s soulful voice pierces through my often calloused heart and helps me surrender to my savior, especially when my heart is growing weary.
