That Sounds Holy!

About That Sounds Holy!

We are a bunch of friends trying to navigate through the different seasons in our lives, as we try to merge all the spaces we move around in: faith, ministry, career, relationships, and everyday life. No, we’re not here because we’re holy; but we’re trying to be, and we’d love for you to journey with us and join our awkward and random conversations every Tuesday! Now that sounds holy. 😉

   Episode 44: Issa Barcelona: Introvert, Songwriter, and the Worship Leader Who Ran Away From It

   Last week we talked about Aio. This week, we turn the mic to our very own Issa Barcelona (yes, the same Issa behind a lot of our Feast Worship songs) for a real, funny, and honest conversation about growing up, losing her mom, finding music, and running away from worship leading for years. In this episode, Issa opens up about: - Her name, which has a whole backstory (hint: a marriage encounter retreat, a lolo named Eliseo, and a mom who couldn't talk after giving birth) - Growing up as the youngest of three sisters, with a 14-year gap - A childhood full of thick classics, highlighted words, and a mom who wanted her to go deep - Being alone a lot as a kid, and how that shaped the way she thinks - Facing a major life shift in her teens, and suddenly having to learn how to be an adult - Being shy, "no one's going to like me" feelings, and how she handles attention - How she fell in love with worship, from the parish choir to a communion solo at PICC - Running away from worship leading for years (she left a message unopened in a food court!) - What she's still learning today: being kind to herself and her work in this season Quote of the ep: "If this is my best work now and it's 70% of what I created in 2019 or 2017, it's still 100% today." If you're an overthinker, a perfectionist, or someone who's afraid to put your work out there, this one's for you. 📍 Didn't get to ask her something? Ask Issa live! Come to our live recording on October 17, 4–7 PM at Omnia Studio. Tickets are ₱450. Link's on our Instagram.

   S4 | Episode 43: Batman, Birthday Blues & Being a PK: Getting to Know Aio

   Who are the people you're listening to? We're trying something different for Episode 43: we're interviewing each other! Over the next few episodes, we'll be reintroducing ourselves for everyone who's new here (hi, welcome!) and for those who've been with us from the start. First in the hot seat: Aio. In this episode, we talk about: - What his name means (Bisaya roots, tied to "maayo," or good) and whether a name feels like pressure or encouragement - Having a birthday on December 20, and the "big sad" that comes when birthday blues meet Christmas blues - The legendary Batman costume, and why he called it "Mamats" - Growing up a batang kalye in Bulacan, studying at Ateneo, and being an only child for 14 years before his sister arrived (yes, there were happy tears) - What it's really like to be a PK (preacher's kid): the perks, the pressure, and whether the "rebellious phase" is a myth - The moment he realized faith couldn't just be his parents' story, and his decision to surrender his life to Jesus for himself - How he fell in love with worship, and how it led to preaching - Having many gifts (music, painting, dancing, instruments, mentoring) and the hard question of which one to nurture - Why his personal music is on hold: "set it aside, but don't bury it" This one's for you if: you grew up in church and are figuring out what your own faith looks like, you're juggling a lot of gifts and interests and don't know what to prioritize, or the "ber months" hit you harder than you expect. You're not alone. 📍 ANNIVERSARY LIVE RECORDING: October 17, 4-7PM, Omnia Studios, Makati We're turning 5! Get your tickets through the link on our socials. If this episode spoke to you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. Follow, rate, and leave a review to help more young people find the show. 🎧

   S4 | Episode 42: New Age, Old Lies: Crystals, Tarot, & Trusting God Instead ft. Kuya Father Migs

   Crystals sa wrist habang nagko-communion. Rosary sa bulsa, evil eye sa kabila. Sound familiar? Kuya Father Migs joins us to break down new age practices — astrology, manifesting, tarot — bakit sila nauuso ngayon, at bakit "wala namang mawawala" might just be the biggest lie of all. Ep. 42 is back with Kuya Father Migs (yes, still here, still with us) for a real talk on something we've all brushed up against — new age practices. Astrology, The Secret, manifesting, tarot, crystals — it's romanticized, it's "harmless," it's everywhere on your FYP right next to your Bible study content creators. So what's actually going on? We get into: - Why new age practices aren't actually new — and why they're so attractive to the human mind (hello, Adam and Eve) - What the Apostles' Creed already answers about all this, starting with just two words: "I believe" - Monism, pantheism, self-divinity, spiritual relativism — the actual core beliefs behind the "vibes" (and why they don't mix with our faith the way we think they do) - "Wala namang mawawala" — is that really true? Or is there something we're missing out on without realizing it - Navigating cultural and family practices (lola's pamahiin, the golden Buddha next to the crucifix) with respect but without compromise - Love vs. empathy — and why sometimes loving someone means saying the uncomfortable thing - A wild testimony about tarot cards, portals, and an exorcist priest (you read that right) Go all in. No plan B. 📅 PS — SAVE THE DATE: Our anniversary live recording is happening October 17, 2026 (Saturday), 4-7PM at Omnia Studios, Society of St. Paul, Makati. ₱450 door charge, snacks included. See you there! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube — comment kung may na-spark sa'yo dito, we want to hear it.
