Let me know what you think of this episode?

Worship can sound loud on a stage and still be quiet in a kitchen sink full of dishes. We talk with Bridgett, a worship leader, homeschool mom, and recording artist, about the moment worship stops being only lyrics and becomes a lifestyle shaped by gratitude, character, and everyday choices.

Her story is rooted in real life: raising two boys, juggling family schedules with ministry travel, and learning the hard wisdom of boundaries. We get honest about what it takes to steward a calling when you’re tempted to say yes to everything, and why “faithful stewardship” sometimes looks like a bold no. If you’re a worship leader, a Christian songwriter, or just someone trying to keep your heart soft in a heavy season, you’ll hear practical language you can actually use.

We also go deep on songwriting that tells the truth. Bridgett shares how hardship and grief have shaped her music, including walking through her son’s early speech disorder and the loss of her father, which led to songs on her “Carry You” EP. We explore how to write honestly about pain without losing hope, why scripture is a well of lyrics, and why Christian music can be diverse, from worship to rock to folk, without abandoning a consecrated life.

Welcome And Guest Introduction

SPEAKER_01

Hello Hello everyone, thank you again for joining me on another episode of the Dorsey Rush Song. Today our guest is someone who doesn't just sing about faith, she lives it. As a wife, mom, worship leader, and recording artist, she's dedicated her life to seeing people encounter God in a real and personal way. Her music is born out of intimate moments with him, and her heartful revival is evident in everything she does. I'm so excited for her for you to hear her story. Blizzard, thank you so much for coming on the show today.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you so much for having me. It's such a pleasure. So excited.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. So tell us a little bit about yourself and about your your story.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I am a wife and a mom and a lover of Jesus, a homeschool mom. So we have I have two boys, ages 16 and 12, and we homeschool them and they also go part-time. So we're constantly driving back and forth, but it's it's so rewarding. But we're very got a very busy life with two boys, and I love to sing songs to the Lord, and I love to write, and I love to bless others with them and to just be a blessing.

SPEAKER_01

When did when did you first realize or start to realize that you have that you know

Music Beginnings And Early Calling

SPEAKER_01

musical talent and musical gifting to sing?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I I want to say that I came out of the womb singing almost. You know, I feel like I've always been singing, but as far as songwriting, I didn't realize that till much later. I started just getting little snippets of songs when I was younger, and then I put it away. I didn't really play the guitar much in my teenage years. And then I picked it back up when I was in, when I just got married. I was in my very, very early 20s, and we had this college and career night at our my previous church, and they needed a guitar player. So I just got up and, you know, led a few songs with the guitar. And my husband didn't even know that I really played guitar. He knew that I kind of dabbled here and there, but like didn't realize like to the level that I had played previously. And so I started going from there, and from there I started just really diving into songwriting and just really felt the call of God to do something with it. And he really kind of was the wind beneath my wings saying, I really think that this is something that you should do, that you should really do, like not just like dabble in, but that you should do and do full time.

SPEAKER_01

Right. And tell and tell us about that because I know you do have and you do do, you know, con think of that naked. Tell us a little bit about that as well.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, I feel it. My first show was I was about 25, and show, you know, the first time that I played outside of my local church, you know, it was a festival and it was one of the bigger ones that we have in Michigan. So, and I remember getting a band together for that and just kind of really like scrambling, saying, Oh, I need to make this happen. And through the years, I have let God make things happen, you know, just really yielded it over to him. And so we have events where I have a full band, and then I have events where it's just me playing with my guitar and sometimes backing tracks. And I I love those

First Gigs And Learning To Yield

SPEAKER_00

because I love the simple intimacy of them. And you can really go a lot of places that the Lord is taking you when you don't have that uh backing system. You know, you can, if it's just you and a guitar, you can literally get a call and say, okay, I'm gonna be on a plane tomorrow and go and do what you are called to do. So we do, I do all types of events. I do ladies' conferences, festivals, worship events, weddings. I mean, you name it, I've played it and done it.

SPEAKER_01

Who are some of your inspirations that you get, or do you have inspirations from you know, Christian worship orders that are out there today? Do you get inspiration from them or anybody that you really like listening to?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. I feel like my sound and range just is it's all over the place. You know, I love Christian rock music, so I I grew up listening to Skillet, and I used to listen to Five Iron Frenzy, like the more the pop punk rock ska. And then I also grew up listening to uh Amy Grant, you know, and and so those type of trailblazer worship leaders and Darling Check. And so I feel like my influences have been just all over the place, but that's it's it that's the beautiful thing of music, you know, it doesn't have to be one particular sound or genre. God can use all forms of music and the arts to glorify him.

SPEAKER_01

Right. I've been I I saw an article, maybe even the headline recently, that you know, that the Christian rock, you know, genre, hopefully that that will come back at some point. That don't don't honestly, like you said, skillet, you know, cutlets, thousand-foot crooks, they seem to not die at all, but they seem don't seem to have that rock emphasis as much as they they used to.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Oh no, I completely agree. I I remember like growing up as a kid in the 90s, and I I feel like that's like almost like the pinnacle of when we had that Christian rock. You know, we had like DC talk, and we had, I remember being, I want to say 10 years old when Jesus Freak came out, and I'm like, it was it was amazing, you know, and so it's I I I believe that it's gonna come back hard like even stronger than before because like my kids, they absolutely love it. And so it's it's wonderful to see like the next generation loving the music that that we grew up listening to, you know, and and taking that and really being blessed by it.

SPEAKER_01

I went to a a um concert recently, about two weeks ago now. It was Danny Goggy, we are messing, and Ron Riddick. And I was honestly surprised that I mean there were probably a mix, but there was I actually more I I think, and at least the the people that I was looking at seen more of an older generation, you know, for that type of music. I was I was kind of surprised. I thought I'd see a lot more of the younger, you know, generation, you know, coming to that, coming to that concert, but it didn't look like you know they came out for that one for some reason. Huh.

SPEAKER_00

Well, gotta gotta get spread the word to the young people, huh?

SPEAKER_01

Right?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

When did worship first move first when did worship first move from lyrics to lifestyle?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, that's a good question. So I believe that worship is completely a lifestyle. So I I love putting different lyrics together and like I I love lyrics because I believe that they really just a song is nothing without the lyrics. You know, you can have a good beat, you can have a good melody, but if the lyrics are lacking, it really, you know, I don't really want to listen to it. I want something that's going to really

Worship As Lyrics And Lifestyle

SPEAKER_00

just stimulate me both mentally and and musicality. So I I love good lyrics, but I believe that worship should be every aspect of your life. It shouldn't just be the lyrics that you sing, the songs that you sing, but it should be your day-to-day actions, like how are you treating people? How are you walking in the fruits of the spirit? How are you just everything that you're doing? Even when you're washing dishes, you should be amplifying the gifts and the and the fruits of the spirit and how you're how you're stewarding your home. Just basically everything. Everything is an act of worship.

SPEAKER_01

What unhing horseship most reshaped the way that you worship?

SPEAKER_00

What what was that?

SPEAKER_01

What unseen hogship most reshaped the way that you worship?

SPEAKER_00

Oh goodness. I feel like I've I've lived a very full life. So I've had lots of ups and and downs. And I I want to say, you know, my my youngest son, he had a speech disorder where we were told that he would probably never speak. And I remember going through that. Now he he talks. We can't get him to stop talking now. So praise God, you know. And so every time that he's like talking our ear off, I'm like, thank you, Lord, because this is what we prayed for. Like he's completely healed. But I remember walking through that and trying to go through, I mean, there were so many different therapies, there was so many different things, and we didn't know if there would be a what the outcome would be. And we didn't know if there would be a healing or if there wouldn't, but we knew that God was faithful and good no matter what the outcome was. And so I had a lot of songs that were birthed in that season because I just remember asking God so many questions, like, why or how, how, how did this happen? Like, what can we do to show the love of God no matter what we are facing and dealing with in this life? So I feel like going through that situation and just tons of situations through the years, ups and downs, you know, it really, it really shapes who you are as a songwriter and as a person. And so a lot of my songs come from from that place. My father passed away about 10 years ago, almost 10 years ago to the date. And I wrote songs after losing him. You know, I have songs, I have a whole EP that's about centered around grief and loss and asking God questions and seeing how he is faithful through that.

SPEAKER_01

I'll have to, I think we like what is the name of the EP?

SPEAKER_00

It's called Carry You. Yeah, and it's got three songs Carry You, Keep On, and Promises. And promises I actually sang at his funeral, which was it. I had written that song probably two weeks before he passed, not knowing that he was gonna pass. And I was like, oh, and I showed my mom the song, and she's like, Wow, that's really, really beautiful. And my dad passed two days after I showed my mom the song, and I said, Okay, well, now I know why I wrote it. So it so it was really hard to get through that, but I believe that it was a gift from the Lord to me to you know share with others during that time.

SPEAKER_01

Sure. Now I bring that up because I obviously I looked at your your website and you know, your music on Apple, an Apple music, and my dad passed away four months ago. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll have to uh go back and kick out that EP. I'm so sorry for your loss. How do you write honestly about pain without losing hope?

SPEAKER_00

Uh I as humans, our our experience, we all experience pain in some level. You know, some people have harder pain, some people, but everyone has had some type of pain in their life. And our hope is Jesus. So no matter what our circumstances look like and no matter what we're walking through, that we can be anchored, that this life is so temporary, you know. And when we think about it, I remember seeing Francis Chan do this sermon illustration where he shows this rope and he shows the portion that is our life, you know, and then he shows the the never-ending rope, right, of what eternity is. And so when we can focus on that, that there's a greater picture, that there is a greater purpose for us being here, and even though we're walking through pain, that we can hold on to who he is, and that that that makes the difference in everything.

SPEAKER_01

Where have ministry demands collided with homeschooling and family needs?

SPEAKER_00

Oh goodness. I think that I mean, like to be on with you today, like I just dropped my oldest off. He has a class today at it started at two, and so I'm like running, running to get home, and then I gotta pick him up at 3:30. So I feel like I'm constantly juggling, moving spinning plates, you know, but it's it's so rewarding, and also knowing when to say yes and when to say

Family Pressures And Writing Honest Songs

SPEAKER_00

no to certain things, you know, and and so I want to say I balance it all, but I'm really very intentional with my yes and with my no. And so that really helps as well. So I'm like, is this going to take too much time away from my family? Like if I'm gonna be doing an event or or whatnot. And so just being really intentional and and knowing your yes is your yes and your no is your no.

SPEAKER_01

What are some of the what brink out the lyrics in some of your songs and where do they come from?

SPEAKER_00

Some of them come from, um, like we were saying earlier, a place of of pain. You know, my the songs that I wrote for my father, they were processed through pain and grief. And then some are going to the scriptures. You know, I feel like there's there's so much just in the scriptures. As a songwriter, I would encourage anyone to open their Bible up and see what, see what songs come from it. You know, I have a song called This Is That, and that is straight, literally just straight from the Bible, you know, and it's talking about Acts 2 and Joel. And so it's I believe that the Bible has so much just infinite wisdom for songwriting. And then there's also times where I just get a lyric or a melody, and I'll quickly grab my phone and jot it down or like do a little memo note and then finish it later. But also I think that songwriting is a muscle. So the more that you work it and the more that you do it, the more familiar you get at it and the better that you get at it.

SPEAKER_01

When did you realize, you know, we we know we talked a little bit earlier that you know you started playing guitar and everything, but when did you start to realize that you had a also the talent for songwriting as well?

SPEAKER_00

Uh, I started to realize that when I was pretty young. I was about 14 and I started writing more of the I started writing kind of like secular angsty songs when I was going through. Like, you know what I mean? My my awful teenage years. And so I remember doing that and then just not really doing much with it until I got older. Not older, older, but like 20 years old and up. And then I started really diving into songwriting and just really trying to work on my craft and perfecting it.

SPEAKER_01

What do you I've heard some Christians say, you know, that they don't listen to either a lot of worship music or even, you know, just Christian music, that they feel like it's, you know, sneaky or they feel like it's boring, or you know, think of that that nature. What would you say to someone, you know, that may be that person that may be listening to this later on?

SPEAKER_00

I would say that there's I there's so much good Christian music out there. Like it doesn't have to be if if you're listening to a song that I I get it. There's lots of songs that are very repetitive, and like they sometimes we have bridges that are like 10 minutes long. So I absolutely I get it. But I would say just go go and look for, you know, go on the go on the blogs, go on the different things and see what people are saying as far as different stylistically things that you would gravitate towards because there's so much stuff out there that is not just good musically, but really good lyrically. And so it doesn't have to just be like you are good, you are good, oh oh, right? Like the worship song type of thing. It can be there's some really good songs with really deep lyrics. So I would say just go out and see what's out there. It doesn't have to be mainstream, there's so much stuff that's like hidden gems that are that no one's ever heard.

SPEAKER_01

So what does pure worship look like in the Type ordinary Tuesday?

SPEAKER_00

Pure worship? Yeah, ah goodness, let's see. I say pure worship just means to like like we were talking about earlier, that everything in your life is an act of worship. And so, like, I approach every every day in every situation saying with a heart of gratitude for for one, and say, Thank you, Lord, so much for this day. Thank you for allowing me to to do things. And when you have that mindset shift of I don't have to, but I get to, you know, it really switches something in your brain where I'm like, I don't have to go and do this or that. I get to go do this. Like, what a privilege that I get to go do this. I had a a worship event where I had to get up at four o'clock in the morning recently and drive a few hours to, and it's I like I had started getting, I'm like, oh man, I have to. I'm like, oh no, oh no, I get to like what a privilege that I get to go do this. And so I think coming from a place of pure worship is you have that that heart posture of gratitude and that you really want to serve the Lord and you want to make it about Him and not you, you know.

SPEAKER_01

You say your goal is to see life things through Hagas. Can you say a moment where you saw that happened firsthand?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yes. So we had an event, I I want to say it was probably about 11 years ago. And I remember singing these my songs, you know, and ministering like I normally do, and not seeing the demonstrative response that I wanted to, right? It was more like very chill, like not it wasn't as hyped up as I was anticipating, and especially for this particular denomination that I was ministering to, which I love the

Seeing Lives Changed And Future Plans

SPEAKER_00

body of Christ and I love all the expressions. But when I was up there, I remember just like hearing the Lord almost whisper to me saying, just because they're not worshiping the way that you want doesn't mean that I'm not reaching them. Like basically get over yourself kind of thing, you know. And I remember being so struck by that. I'm like, you know what? That's so true. Like, I don't know what God's doing in their hearts. And then come to find out the next day, the pastor called from that church and he said, We had an entire family give their lives to the Lord at the event last night. And it was during one of the songs that you shared, and you know, the gospel was presented, and I had no idea, right? Like I had no idea, but it's just those small seeds that you plant that you just don't you don't know what God's doing. And then you find out later on. So that was that was such an impactful thing, and it really let me know not to limit what God is doing just because of what I'm seeing, right?

SPEAKER_01

What do you hope to what where do you see yourself in the next you know several years down the road? What do you hope to see for you know yourself and for you know your music ministry?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I I feel like we can plan things, you know, we have the best plans in mind, and then God has a way of flipping our plans and doing whatever He wants to do. So I I'm very open. I plan to release a lot of new music. I've got a just a binder of songs that I'm like, man, which songs do I release next? And so I plan to release a ton of new music and just being faithful with what is what is already in front of me, you know. And I've got my kids are gonna graduate in about six years. I'll have both my kids graduated, and so I'll be able to focus quite a bit more on the music, hopefully. And that'll be that'll be look a little bit different, but just being faithful with what is currently in front of me and continuing to walk through the open doors that align with the vision that God has given me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Maybe someone's out there listening and you know, they want to be, you know, they want to, they they have a worship full spew, and they want to be a worship artist or a Christian music artist, and they want to get out there, they want to go to searchers, they want to go to conferences, whatnot. What would you say to them to start, how would you like to get their name out there, or to get, you know, at I guess maybe attention, whatever you want to call it, to you know, to start to start the travel. What would you say to them to do?

SPEAKER_00

I would say I I was given this advice uh years ago and it stuck with me. But imperfect action is better than no action. So sometimes we really want everything to be every I dotted and every T crossed before we make any type of movement. And it's better to start the process, right? Make baby steps, do small things and put it out there, see just be faithful with what God has given you and see how He multiplies it. So don't be afraid to start small and see how God is going to grow it. But you gotta first start somewhere, you gotta put it out there, and you gotta, you know, no matter what happens, you have to try.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. If you could get down with your younger self, what would you say about what were you saying about faith and purpose?

SPEAKER_00

Oh goodness. I would say you made it. Like you're still walking or you're walking with the Lord. Because when I was a teenager, I was not walking with God. I came back to the Lord when I was 16. So I would say, I would look at myself and I'd say, like, you love the Lord. You are faithfully serving him. You've got, you know, you're you're alive, right? You're, and so I would I would say those, those things, and I would say keep keep going and keep being faithful in the small things and keep stewarding the gifts and the talents that God has given you and keep growing each day. And you've never quite made it. I would say you've never quite, you've never met you've never quite made it. So don't ever act like you are too big to get advice, right? So we're we're never completed. We're always walking and and getting better and and learning.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Tell us a little bit, if you don't, if you want to, about your younger self when you went walk when you went walking with the Lord.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well, I was I got saved when I was six years old. So I gave my life to the Lord when I was very young. And then I walked away from him when I got into my teenage years. I really wanted nothing to do with God and just, I mean, absolutely nothing to do with God. And I remember being drugged to a conference when I was almost 16, just about to turn 16. My mom basically said, You don't have a choice, you're going, right? And so I was thrown on the bus, very reluctantly, very mad. And I remember just surrendering my life to the Lord. You know, they gave that altar call moment. And I remember just all the walls breaking down and deciding, making that decision that this is what I'm gonna do. And every day I believe that it's a decision to continue to walk with the Lord.

SPEAKER_01

What's something that God has taught you recently that has challenged you?

SPEAKER_00

Oh goodness, what is God teaching me right now? Probably faithful stewardship. So I like I was saying earlier, my yes is my yes and my no is my no, where in previous seasons it would always be yes. So I love to say yes. You know, I'm a yes girl. I'm like, yes, I'll do it, yes, I'll do that. But I feel like the Lord's really been working on me to to say no to certain things and to, you know, know the limits that I have personally. And not every, not every door and not every yes is conducive to the path that God is taking you on, you know, and so I feel like being really intentional, intentionality, that's the word, to walk in, you know, is this door aligned with where I feel like the Lord is taking this? And if it's not, then not being afraid to say no.

SPEAKER_01

When everything is stripped away, no stage, no audience, who are you?

SPEAKER_00

No stage and no audience. I am just a girl who loves Jesus, you know, and that is that is my identity. I feel like so often we can put our, I was just talking to my kiddos about this recently, actually, that we can put our identity in what we do, right? Our career path, just so many different things. And then that becomes an idol, you know, worship music, anything can become an idol if you put it before the Lord, you have that

Identity Beyond The Stage

SPEAKER_00

be your identity. And so when you're I like my identity is in Jesus, you know, and so if that stuff, which I love, if I didn't have it, I would still be a daughter of the king.

SPEAKER_01

If someone listens to one of your songs, if someone listens to one of your songs, what do you hope they walk away feeling?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I hope they feel encouraged. I feel like we have like in this time and season in our country, everything feels really heavy, you know, and I hope that they can be uplifted and encouraged and just feel the presence of the Lord no matter what song it is, that they can walk away and feel a little bit better than when before they listen to it.

SPEAKER_01

Have you toured or sang with anyone else, you know, that people out there listening may know or may have heard of?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I've I went and played, not played, but I've opened for Skillet, Jeremy Camp, uh five our not five our friends, what was it? Group one crew when they were still around. Let's see, Kim, I think Pathier, Real Talk Kim. She worship for an event that she did. Uh Jamie Grace. I'm trying to think of a few more, but yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's cool. How would were they the same people now that they that you that we as artists or we as people see them on stage? Are they the same people backstage as well?

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah, yeah. When when I did it, I mean it was very brief interactions, but they were all extremely lovely.

SPEAKER_01

I've you know, we I've seen, no, or not I've seen, but we you know, we there's been stories that have come out in the last several years that, you know, that you know that some Christian artists may not be, you know, quote unquote Christian and may not be, you know, who they are on stage as they are in, you know, in their actual life.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Right. I I think that that's absolutely I I haven't experienced that, but I think that when you're walking with somebody, like walking day to day with them, that there's less time to put a front on, if that makes sense. So when you're just casually talking to somebody and you just meet them, you know, they're oh everyone's gonna put their best face forward, correct? And so that hasn't been my experience, but I haven't walked with them day to day. And so it's like you don't know, you don't know who people are truly behind closed doors, only the Lord knows. Right.

SPEAKER_01

Are there any new sounds or directions you're excited to explore?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yes. I'm so glad you asked that question. I have, I've just did a country song, country love song that I released about a month ago, and I'm gonna be doing I have a folk song that's gonna be coming out, and so it's it's very, very folky, and so that's pretty new. And then I have another song that I'm working on right now, and it's like kind of a lullaby-ish country song, and it's like a Mother's Day type of thing. And then I

New Sounds Christian Artistry And Legacy

SPEAKER_00

have some like rock songs that I and I've never done rock music, but like I'm totally a rocker at heart, so I've got some of that that I want to release, and so it's it's hard because stylistically, like I have so many different like things that I pull from and that I want to do. And then people want, you know, to if you do the worship thing, you just stay in the worship thing or you do the CCM thing. And I'm like, I got one life to live. And if the Lord wants me to do, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, if the Lord wants me to do these songs and release them, I'm gonna do it, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well that was gonna, that was gonna be my next question, you know, or similar question was, you know, we see, you know, some Christian artists, and you know, we see them doing Christian, doing Christian music, CCM, whatever you want to call it, and then they go more of the you know, pop or you know, you know, secular, you know, quote unquote, it looks like they're doing more of a secular uh album. You know, people like, why are they doing that? They should stick with the you know the Christian the Christian gunner, you know, what what's your opinion on that?

SPEAKER_00

Well, so I have a slightly different opinion. When I when I think of worship music or I think of Christian music, I think of like the Lord's in everything, right? And so the Lord is in a song that is talking about being faithful to in your marriage, right? You're talking about your love to your spouse, the Lord's in that. And then the Lord's in songs where you're talking about motherhood, right? God, God ordained all of these things and God put them into place. And so when you're singing songs, as long as you're not singing songs that are not glorifying the Lord, right? Like we can get into like really tricky territory when you're thinking singing about things that are not glorifying God. Like, I'm totally like, if you're gonna do that, nope. I know that it's kind of edgy right now for some Christians to put curse words in their songs, and I'm like, like, no way, because that's like you're supposed to be, whether it's secular or Christian, like you're supposed to be living a life that's consecrated to the Lord, and you're supposed to be walking with a heart posture of worship. So I look at music as a whole of neither it's neither good nor bad, but it's the heart and the intent behind it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I mean, it's not really a clear word because it is it is a place, but I I don't really recall what the song was. It was probably hell song that came out with it or elevation, but it you know, they had the they had the word hell in it, you know. Right. And you know, everybody's like, why are they doing that? They can't do that. That's not that's not laugh. What are they doing? Right. And you know, it's like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it it's it gets to be like it gets to be sometimes a little bit silly in in a word play, but you know, just I guess it's trying to when when the world is looking at you, right? Like what message are you sending? Like you're wanting to have uplifting, positive, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Right. What kind of legacy do you hope your music and ministry leave behind?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I I hope that it leaves behind a legacy of just inspiration and and songs that are just love songs to Jesus. You know, I want I I feel like nothing is wasted with the Lord. And I was just telling my husband this the other day. No matter what how well a song does or doesn't do, like in this lifetime, we don't know future generations how God is going to use certain songs and certain things. So just put them out. You know, just if you feel like the Lord is telling you to do something, just do it because you don't even know. You've no idea, like down the road how it's gonna impact somebody.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Well, even even some of the old hymns, you know, they're you know starting to come back and you know, they're still reaching people.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Amen. Oh, I love I love the older hymns.

SPEAKER_01

What one would have I always like to ask my guest, what what what one what would what one would of encouragement you would give to my audience?

SPEAKER_00

I would say just put Jesus first, you know, and no matter what you're going into in life, whether you are an aspiring songwriter, a worship leader, whether you're in a marketplace ministry, whatever you're doing, in entrepreneurship, put God first and see how He leads and directs your footstep because his way is so much better and his plans far surpass anything that you could even imagine or dream.
