Welcome to Episode 8 of the Music Therapy Podcast, where music meets personal growth and healing. I’m your host, Holly Dayle, and I’m joined by my co-host, Toby Holley, a licensed counselor. In each episode, we break down powerful songs and explore how they can be used as therapeutic tools to encourage a better quality of life.

In this episode, we’ll be diving into the song "Lose My Soul" by TobyMac, featuring guest appearances from Kirk Franklin and Mandisa. Released on February 20, 2007, as part of the Portable Sounds album, this song explores the tension between worldly success and spiritual fulfillment. The powerful lyrics, combined with the spoken introduction by Kirk Franklin, remind us of the importance of keeping our focus on eternal values rather than being consumed by material pursuits.

Through this episode, we will break down the song’s verses and chorus, reflecting on its meaning and how it can help us stay grounded in our faith, even in the face of success and recognition. We’ll also explore how the message can be applied therapeutically, offering exercises to help you reflect on personal values, manage stress, and maintain a balanced life.

We’ve also prepared a companion worksheet, available to our subscribers on X and Facebook, to guide you through the therapeutic applications of this song. Join us as we journey through the profound messages in "Lose My Soul" and discover how music like this can keep us connected to what truly matters.
