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.

×Jesus sets us right so that we can make right the wrong we have done.
All of us experience barriers that keep make change feel impossible, but those barriers can't keep us from Jesus' life changing power.
If Jesus can bring freedom and defeat death in his resurrection, then we can say with confidence that Jesus has power and authority to bring freedom from whatever might oppress us.
When Christ acts in our lives we have the freedom to be bold and share our stories.
Read the Scriptures and do whatever you can to understand it. Then look for any opportunity to obey and do it.
We all hunger for something more in our lives, and God is the only one who can truly satisfy our hunger.
Is your misunderstanding about the character of God keeping you from experiencing the power and joy of confession?
Confession in nobody's favorite subject, but when we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive us through the blood of Christ.
God hadn’t forgotten Moses and God hasn’t forgotten you. Be open to the signs of God. Move towards them when they come.
God uses all kinds of circumstances to get our attention, but whatever He uses, our job is to be ready to stop and listen.
Nobody wants crisis. All of us are going to experience it. So don’t waste a crisis. Wasting a crisis is when it doesn’t drive you to the one who is Lord over the crisis.
Jesus is never too busy to help us with those things that prevent us from being free and healed. He sees you.
When we obey the words of Jesus, it positions us for the Spirit to forever change us.
We may not be able to predict the timing of an encounter with the Spirit, but we can wait with expectancy.
What would make it worth not letting anything get in the way, pressing through any obstacle that might present itself, staying the course for as long as it took?

We all need to be changed, but sometimes we don't know what we need God to change. Even though Jesus knows what Bartimaeus needs, He still asks Bartimaeus what he wants Him to do. Jesus wants to change us as we follow Him.
Jesus has the power to heal: physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally. Do you believe this?

If encounters with other people have the potential to change the trajectory of our lives, then imagine what’s possible when we encounter the maker of all reality, the one who loves us deeply. We could be forever changed.
Jesus puts this fork in the road: you can either build a life serving money that promises abundance but can ’ t deliver it , actually enslaves us rather than frees us, and LOSE God who IS all abundance OR you can build a life serving God , power to free you from scarcity into abundance and get money and everything else thrown in.…

Jesus says not to worry because we are more valuable than we know. Jesus' words are an invitation to freedom to live with a spirit of generosity.
Sow sparingly, reap sparingly. Sow generously, reap generously!

God asks us to live generously out of the abundance He provides, and He knows generous living brings us freedom. It can be scary to live generously because the scarcity lie tells us there isn't enough, but that is a lie.

God invites us out of the scarcity of of this world and into his abundance as we trust him by obeying him.

We are often tempted to see abundance as a zero-sum game where abudance means having more than someone else. In Christ we can experience God as the source abundance, and we experience abundance as the more-than-enough that allows us to bless others.
Easter is God's gift to a world trapped in scarcity, inviting us into His abundance.

HE is Risen Indeed! When we feel we are not enough, we can remember that Jesus is enough and He is risen!

Serving is the (counterintuitive) path to blessing because it forms us in ways that nothing else can to become the people God created us to be.

As Christ followers Christians are called to follow the example of Jesus. One of the most challenging and rewarding things we should to is to serve others.

There are times when Jesus asks us to go. In those times He goes before us and asks us to remember the way He has shown up in our lives in the past.

In hurried and harried times like the ones we live in, where time is a precious commodity, lingering may not be something we often think about, let alone do with any degree of intentionality, but today might be a good day to revisit and reconsider that.

Listening in as Jesus prays, just hours before his death. For whom does Jesus pray? And what does he pray for them?
A right relationship with the world makes us more resilient: set apart for the sake of being sent back for the sake of blessing.

We often think of a person's final hours as some of the most important in their life. Jesus' final hours comprise nearly a third of the gospels and in those hours Jesus called his disciples to trust and believe in Him.
Belief is important. Belief that Jesus is the Word, the Light, the Son of God, Christ, Lamb of God, King of Israel, and Son of Man.
Jesus' good news is too good to keep to ourselves. We are called to Share the good news of the Gospel, and that can change our world.

Our call to change our world is a call to care for one another. We are all part of God's creation and He commands us to be our brother's keeper.

God has positioned us to release his Kingdom come and his will being done and many times what it takes is simple faithful actions.

Jesus wants us to be part of His plan to change the world. Part of our part in His beautiful plan is to serve God and others.

God uses us to change our world, and when we commit to excellence rooted in God, we will produce good fruit that can change our world.

Integrity (a life of fully integrated life of faith, hope, love, especially in our character but also our actions and our witness) + Excellence in our work = a life that honors God and opens the door for his kingdom to come.

God allows us to be part of His plan to change the world, but that change has to start with our identity. Our identity in Christ is where everything begins.
