On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fasting to Faith 31:43

1 day ago31:43

31:43

Chris Wall • Matthew 6:16-18 Every one of us are experienced fasters. Maybe not this discipline of going without meals for the purpose of prayer, but all of us have fasted in daily life. Did you ever miss a meal in school because you were focused on a test. Did you choose not to watch a certain show because work required some extra time. At some point, you had to get up early to make an appointment or lose some sleep to get a job done. When the church was younger, fasting was much more common for followers of Christ. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us about Fasting and He did not say, “if you fast, but “when” you fast. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that God calls us to experience because it produces incredible power in your life. This week, give up something that matters to you for the sake of turning your face to Christ in prayer.…

Ambassadors Learning to Pray - Part 2 39:35

9 days ago39:35

39:35

Chris Wall • Matthew 6:9-15 It is good that most people can quote the Lord’s prayer by memory. Any scripture that is memorized is profitable. At the same time, Jesus quoted this prayer in the Sermon on the Mount so that we utilize the prayer to learn to actually pray. Often our prayers become monotonous and repetitive and come off of our lips with very little meaning. This is not the kind of conversation we are to have with the Lord. This morning, lets all lean into the Lord and learn to use this famous passage of Scripture like Jesus intended: To learn how to pray.…

Ambassadors Learning to Pray - Part 1 39:36

16 days ago39:36

39:36

Chris Wall • Matthew 6:5-9 Jesus defined prayer simply defined is communication with God. Communication involves both listening and talking. Prayer is a fascinating and remarkable opportunity for us. Every one of us in this room could start talking to God right now and He has the power to not only to completely understand each one of us, but His Holy Spirit miraculously leads each of us in unique ways. We need to pray not because God is somehow needy. God leads us to pray not for Him but for us. Through prayer, we come to see the Lord’s hand uniquely. We come to know the Lord’s heart specifically. We come to understand the Lord’s will directly. This morning, allow the Lord to teach you to pray.…

Giving the Counts 36:23

23 days ago36:23

36:23

Chris Wall • Matthew 6:14 The call to follow Christ comes with an invitation to pursue heavenly rewards. A life produces heavenly rewards when it is marked by giving, praying, fasting, serving, and growing in faith for the praise of God over man. Giving from selfless desire focused on pleasing God produces heavenly rewards you do not want to miss. At the same time, giving with a selfish desire to look spiritual in front of others produces nothing. Is your giving stretching into eternity or are you missing the blessing by giving for selfish gain, building up an ego, or working to get your name on a little plaque. Allow God to get to the heart of the matter ensuring you are on the path of giving in a way that truly counts.…

Response to an Enemy 37:24

30 days ago37:24

37:24

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:38-48 An unparalleled life is marked by forgiveness, not retaliation. In fact, God calls us to love our enemies and do good to those who wrong you. In fact, loving our enemies is one of the ways God’s love is evident in our lives. Who are our enemies and what does it look like to love them? An enemy is someone who comes against you, curses you, uses you, and abuses you. Of course, we are not called to be “doormats” but we have a responsibility to love our enemies. Ironically, the best way to defeat an enemy is to show forgiveness. Let’s dig into this idea that we are never more like Jesus than when we are forgiving someone.…

Unparalleled Marriage 33:54

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:31-32 Marriage is instituted by God and provides the greatest earthly example of reconciliation. In marriage, God established the most sacred relationship known to mankind. It is this reason why the unexpected legacy of divorce needs to be exposed. Answering the call to the unparalleled life moves us to build divorce-proof marriages. This is the legacy that we must leave to our children. Jesus is not suggesting marriages should end in divorce, but God offers an unparalleled marriage awaiting every couple.…

Unparalleled Response to Conflict 40:58

8 weeks ago40:58

40:58

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:20-26 When the Scripture speaks about the heart, it is describing the center of man’s being and personality. It is the source of every choice, every motivation and every activity. When it comes to challenges, the heart is often the foundation of the troubles we have with others. The heart reveals what we think and what we feel. It describes true desires or wants. It shapes decisions, choices, and beliefs. The heart describes the deep, private parts of every life. This is why Jesus connects the heart directly with peace in every relationship. Are you holding a grudge? Is there someone you need to forgive? Today is the day to experience the unparalleled response to conflict. Peace starts and continues with the heart moving you towards an unparalleled response to conflict.…

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:17-20 Jesus revealed incredible truths about God’s plan for our lives and His plans for the world. As time ticks away, the unparalleled revelations of God continues to prove reveal His trustworthiness. This “heart check” moment in the sermon on the mount reveals the calling to serve the Lord from the inside out; not the outside in. Jesus is trustworthy and moves us to read, understand, memorize, and more importantly, submit to what God has revealed through His word. Today is a heart check opportunity. Let’s embrace the moment.…

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:13-16 When you experienced the gift of salvation, God gave you a gift that can only be described by unparalleled resilience. We live in a world plagued by decay and darkness. The example of salt reveals the unparalleled power of salvation. The example of light on a hill and light in a house speaks to the unparalleled impact of salvation.

Chris Wall • Matthew 5:2-12 The Beatitudes - The Snapshot of a Christ Follower - Start to finish - These eight statements paint a portrait of unparalleled life produced by our relationship with Christ. These attitudes reveal the inner characteristics of the disciple of Christ. The beatitudes are the job description of the disciple. These attitudes naturally moves us to put our “YES” on the table. “Yes” to the invitation of salvation. “Yes” to repentance. “Yes” to God’s will. “Yes” to seeking the Lord. “Yes” to forgiveness. And, even “Yes” to persecution for Christ’s sake. Today, experience the blessing of an unparalleled life that says “Yes” to the call of God. Is your “YES” on the table?…

Call Sheet for Discipleship 45:06

45:06

Chris Wall • 2 Corinthians 5:17-25 We are therefore Christ’ Ambassadors for Christ. This is a definitive declaration of both our standing with God and our calling in life. An ambassador describes a person who acts as a representative or promoter of something specific. The background of the Sermon on the Mount is fulfilling the Ambassador mandate. Christians literally embody Christ to others. Ambassadors for Christ represent His heart, His plan, and His will. This is a calling that begins at salvation and grows all the way through the gates of heaven. The unparalleled life of the Ambassador is the continuous becoming in the righteousness of God. Have you been declared an Ambassador for Christ? If not, the call is to come to Christ. If so, the call is to the unparalleled life of becoming righteous.…

Chris Wall • 1 Peter 1:3-5 The birth, life, death and resurrection of Christ was without a doubt the focal point in human history. Earthly and heavenly consequences for every person in history hinges on this moment in time. Prior to this point, the world anticipated the event. Since this period of history, the world continues to live with it in view. Today is Easter Sunday. It is the day every living individual comes to grips with the impact of the resurrection in the world and in each life. The Resurrection of Jesus continues to speak from the past, drawing every heart in this moment all the while revealing critical promises for the future.
