Join us this week on Christian Devotions Speak UP! as host Scott McCausey interviews up-and-coming Christian musician Laura Kaczor.

"Music is such a huge part of our world, and it is one of the most effective mediums for communicating a message. I’ve always felt that songs that speak to the human condition and offer hope, purpose, and beauty, should not be limited to the church. I want my music to communicate God’s love to a broken world…and an amazingly diverse world it is! It’s awesome to see how music can bridge generational and cultural barriers, and touch the heart of a person. That is what excites me the most, and keeps me singing every day.”– Laura 

Most 10-year-olds can’t fathom the physical and emotional impact of a life-threatening disease like cancer. Yet, for 10-year-old Laura Kaczor, she used the cancer diagnosis of a close friend and neighbor to inspire her very first song. Her neighbor was touched by the gift—a cassette tape dubbed on her karaoke machine. The song struck a chord, the lyric matching her friend’s fervent prayers. For Laura, it was a turning point and an affirmation of her gift as a budding songwriter. 

Her music is already proving to resonate with listeners as her song “Alive in You” peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard charts—an unheard of feat for an independent artist. The song is found on Kaczor’s third studio album, Love Enough. Her musical discography reveals a diverse line-up with everything from pop to worship to Americana. While her versatility is rare, Love Enough finds Kaczor comfortable in her own skin as a pop songstress. Discover more about Laura at www.laurakaczor.com.
