If you took one look at Danielle Marck’s resume, your first question would be how can one person get all of these things done? But she would be the first to tell you she hasn’t done it alone. 

As a singer, songwriter, CEO, founder, entrepreneur, and president of The Witness Foundation, Danielle excels at wearing a lot of different hats. But for every success she’s had, there was first the invitation to surrender and become attuned to God’s voice—even when what she was being called to do went against what she thought the plan was. Each pivot has required Danielle to first step out in trust—having no clue how God was going to work things out but being absolutely sure He will.

Notes & Quotes:

• “I had these real experiences with God and with people seeing how one word, one moment, one act of obedience can really change somebody’s life. And I wasn’t in charge of that change. I was just in charge of doing my part.” 
• “Just because you’re not excelling in one area doesn’t mean you’re not intelligent. Just may not be your area of expertise when it comes to intelligence. That’s where God was like, ‘You never sought me about what I wanted you to do. You just pursued your plan B instead of asking me for my plan A for your life.’” 
• “God has given me glimpses of where He wants to take me. Some of them I’ve seen come to pass. Some are still yet to come. But there’s always that element of we have to trust Him, and we have to believe that what He says is going to happen. And whether we believe it or not, there are things that God’s going to make happen anyway. But there’s a beautiful intimate invitation that he gives us to trust Him.”
• “It’s the forming [of us to be like Jesus] that makes us more like [God] and where we find joy and peace.”
