Holy Roar Bible Study Guide: Seven Words That Will Change the Way You Worship

by Chris Tomlin, Darren Whitehead, Bethany O. Graybill (Primary Contributor)

In the ancient world, something extraordinary happened when God’s people gathered to worship him. It was more than just singing; it was time to fully embody praise to God for who he is and what he had done. In the Book of Psalms, there are seven Hebrew words that are translated into the English word “praise,” each of which represents a different aspect of what it means to truly praise God. In this four-session video based Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), pastor Darren Whitehead shares insights on how to deepen your practice of praise by uncovering the true meaning behind each of these Hebrew words, and Chris Tomlin shares how those insights take shape in the stories behind many of his worship songs, including “How Great Is Our God,” “Holy Is the Lord,” “I Lift My Hands,” and “Good Good Father.” Whether for use in your small group or your own personal use, Holy Roar provides insight and encouragement to deepen your practice of praise. Follow along as Chris and Darren lead you to the throne room of God. Join their invitation. Become a part of the Holy Roar . This study guide includes video discussion questions, teaching notes, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for in-between sessions.

I just completed the Holy Roar study guide on my own. When our group met in September and October I had a very difficult time meeting due to prior commitments. I read the book, but I had not completed the study guide. I had a hard time with the study guide and book because it was about praise and worship and it stated that the way we are to praise is by having our hands up and by kneeling for prayer. We are not from that worship style, to me it is very uncomfortable. To read that that’s the way we are to worship I feel as though I’m not worshiping properly.
