What I Learned When I Felt Weak: An Interview with Pearl Roycroft


Listen Later

We are interviewing all of our regular contributors in Season 1 for you to get to know them better. Today’s guest is Pearl Roycroft, a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Perth.

In today’s episode, we explore:
  • The joys of being in nature, writing poetry and performing music.
  • Growing up with parents who were immigrants and became Christians in their 20s, and her own slow journey to a deeper faith.
  • Pearl’s struggles with feeling weak and trusting God with her needs, including periods of travel across the country in her van and working in remote Aboriginal communities, and coming to trust more deeply in his love and provision for her.
  • How these periods of struggle and changes of seasons have influenced her new album, Closing Doors.
