Episode 298: Calling, Community, and the Mother-Daughter Relationship with Sandra McCraken, Leslie Jordan, Taylor Leonhardt
In the summer months, not only am I the director of our little summer camp program called Hopetown. I’m also the worship leader and worship music chooser for kids in 2nd - 12th grades. And let me tell you, as a therapist for kids for over 30 years, I am very choosy when it comes to the lyrics that these kids sing. They are kids who have known heartache, who have experienced loss of all shapes and sizes, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. They are kids who have questioned whether God loves them in the midst of their pain. Whether he cares and is still for them and for their families.
And so I desperately want the words we sing each night to be truth. And not just truth that glosses over their heart, but truth that seeps into it and points them toward the one who is in the midst of the heart with them and longs for their healing.
There’s truly no one I trust more to speak words of life and healing through worship, than the three women who are on our podcast today, and the bands they represent. I am delighted for you to listen to the wisdom of our friends, Sandra McCracken, Leslie Jordan, and Taylor Leonhardt.
Download their music individually and together, as Paper Horses and Mission House music along with Jess Rey.
We promise you will be so very glad you did and glad you listened to this episode with these wise amazing dear friends of ours.
