September 14, 2023 Pushing Through
I found myself pushed to my limits, facing immense personal and emotional challenges after receiving unexpected news of the passing of an influential pastor who played a key role in my life. On top of the grief and loss, I still needed to show up and support others during this difficult time.
In this episode, I share how I pushed through those mental and emotional hurdles, drawing strength from my faith and community. During the pastor's funeral service, I rallied my musical team to honor him and minister to those who were grieving.
My hope is that others facing trials will find encouragement through what I share with you today. When life throws more at us than we feel we can handle, we can still choose to get back up and keep pressing forward day by day.

How does a parent raise up a child in the way they should go when that way is the path of music?

In this episode I interview my own mama on how music played a role in her life and how she influenced me to be on this journey. I hope y'all take away some practical insights on how you can encourage your own and look for encouragement from others on your journey.
