Style Guidelines​

The Daily Spirit sound draws from:

  • Gospel/Praise - Warm, soulful, spirit-filled
  • Christian Rap instrumentals - Confident, modern, driving
  • Lo-fi - Relaxed, contemplative, unobtrusive

Music should feel premium but not distracting. It supports the voice, never competes with it. Think: Sunday morning meets late-night focus session.

Track 1: "Grounded" (Scripture & Story)​

Used during: Opening, scripture reading, personal story/reflection

Suno Prompt:

Instrumental gospel lo-fi, warm Rhodes piano, soft muted drums, subtle bass, contemplative and grounded, Sunday morning feel, 80 bpm, no vocals, podcast background music, premium and minimal

Vibe: Reflective. Like sitting in a quiet sanctuary before the service starts. Space to breathe and receive.

Track 2: "Rise" (Affirmations & Close)​

Used during: Affirmations, closing encouragement, call to action

Suno Prompt:

Instrumental uplifting gospel trap, triumphant horns, soaring strings, confident 808s, inspiring and victorious, building energy, 95 bpm, no vocals, motivational podcast outro, anthem feel

Vibe: Victorious. Like walking out of church ready to conquer the week. Chest up, spirit high.
