Phil Wickham has spent years writing songs for churches to sing. In his new book, “Everyday Hallelujah: Unlocking Deep Joy Through Everyday Acts of Worship,” he widens that idea of worship beyond music and Sunday mornings. The book released Aug. 11 through Nelson Books and centers on what it means to notice and honor God in ordinary life.

Across 36 short devotional reflections, Wickham draws from Scripture, personal experiences and more than two decades of ministry. His focus is practical: worship can show up in family life, work, gratitude, struggle and surrender — not just in moments that feel obviously spiritual.

As Wickham puts it, “When we turn our hearts toward him, even the ordinary parts of life can become acts of worship.”

That same idea has also moved back into his music. The book inspired Wickham’s song “Everyday Hallelujah,” which now anchors a three-track EP featuring studio, live and piano versions. It’s a fitting companion to the book, but the message is bigger than either format. Wickham is asking readers to see worship less as an event and more as a posture — something practiced in the regular, sometimes unremarkable moments that make up a life.
