Prophetic Notes: Tomika Arnold on Music, Ministry, and Meaning


Listen Later

Tomika Arnold was once deep in the world of IT, telecom, and accounting β€” until her true calling started humming beneath the surface. Now a full-time singer based in Washington, D.C., Tomika brings more than a voice to the stage β€” she brings π‘π˜Άπ‘Ÿπ˜±π‘œπ˜΄π‘’. In this episode of πΉπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘™π‘–π‘ π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π·π‘’π‘‘π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ, she shares how she made the bold leap from corporate cubicles to center stage, performing at weddings, funerals, engagement parties, and everything in between.


Tomika sees her gift not just as talent, but as ministry β€” a way to comfort grieving families, celebrate love, and stir the soul. She’s worked with legends like Stevie Wonder, BeyoncΓ©, and even the Kennedy Center Honors. And she doesn’t shy away from tough questions: Can Christians sing secular love songs? Should artists collaborate or create in isolation? What does it mean to move prophetically through music?


Whether you’re a creative in transition or simply love a story about stepping into purpose, Tomika’s journey will inspire you to find π‘¦π‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿ voice β€” and use it.
