Gracie Binion is the real deal. In this episode, she shares how she went from writing songs in her childhood bedroom to leading worship with fire—and how a van full of bad smells and loud laughs became the backdrop to her newlywed life. She talks faith, calling, creative grit, and the night she heard God speak out loud. It’s equal parts fun, raw, and full of purpose.
