7. Are You a Singer Who’s Not Singing? 5 Quick Ways to Step Out of Your Silence and into Your Voice Again!

I was in a place of not wanting to sing - anywhere. Not in the car, not in the shower, not at church. I share how I got to that point, and what brought me out of it. 

Here are 5 things you can do today to help you enjoying singing again:

1. Sing fun, silly things for fun for no one in particular

2. Find a place to show up and sing regularly

3. Check In - How are you doing in this moment?

4. Move your body! - Have fun, dance, stretch 

5. Breath - find deep, easy breathing again

BONUS - Give it away! Sing for someone to love and nurture them.

6. We Can Do What Jesus Did - 6 Ways This Changed My Life

Everything that Jesus did on earth, he did to model what WE would do too, as his followers, as Children of God.

We are called to life WITH God, not just FOR God. We are invited into a partnership to see God's realm here on earth.

We are called to life like Jesus did:

• Union with God

• Miracles

How has this changed my life?

1. I expect things to happen when I pray

-> How would this change how you lived today?

5. 10-Minute Heart Scan with God for Singers

Goal: Wholehearted Living!

Psalm 51:10

“Create in me a clean heart, O God;

Psalm 51:6

“You desire truth in the inward parts,

What's Required?

Honesty about where you’re at

Curiosity

Openness to hear from God ***

10-Minute Heart Scan:

1. Ask Yourself:

"How’s your heart?"

Write down your thoughts.

Take a few moments to sit in stillness and just breath. Reflect on what you’ve just written about your heart and start to describe out loud that state of your heart right now, summarizing what you’ve written.

3. Invite Holy Spirit into the Process:

 Ask Outloud:

"Holy Spirit, what would you like to reveal to me today about my heart?"

OR Pray this Scripture Outloud (Psalm 139:23-24 TPT):

INVITE: “God, I invite your searching gaze into my heart"

RECOGNIZE: “See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on"

RELEASE: “Lead me back to your glorious, everlasting ways - the path that brings me back to you”

Implement:

Grab one thing Holy Spirit highlighted to you today - write it on a sticky note to put somewhere prominent.

Share with a friend or your spouse this week.

Welcome to The Heart of a Singer Podcast. I’m Sarah Toth, Heart Coach, mom of 2, trained opera singer, and passionate lover of Jesus.

This podcast is a home for Christian women who have trained and worked in singing, opera, and musical theater; but maybe you’ve found yourself in a place of unrest, bottled-up emotions, and even feeling far from God. But through the hurt of your circumstances, you might be feeling an invitation from the Lord - to learn to hear his voice more clearly and to open up yours in a new way.

It’s time to move out of your desert season, musically, spiritually, and emotionally so that you can move forward in a healthy way and step out into the next chapter that God has for you.

So I invite you to open up your journal, grab your favorite pen, and then join me, as we move from Stuck to Thriving, while unlocking your heart again to beat for His Kingdom Purposes.
