About two years ago, our church was faced with a huge dilemma. Our longtime minister of music was retiring.

Faced with the possibility of losing our choir, we looked inward and found a group of extremely talented and eager people, ready and willing to step in. One of those people was Lauren Morales.

I got an opportunity to sit down with her and talk about that transition, the importance of mentorship, and the true use of Walmart plastic bags.
