Inspiration: It Is What It Is But Its Not What It Seems from Steven Furtick
Steven Furtick shares encouragement on getting through disappointments and the contradictions of life – when your situation looks nothing like what you expected or heard God say. All of us have been through rejection and failures but what if God intentionally uses these experiences to grow us – not to discourage us. I hope you’ll be as encouraged by this message as I was!

Lecrae On His New Book Unashamed
Lecrae recently released a new book “Unashamed” sharing stories and lessons he’s learned throughout his life:
“If you live for people’s acceptance, you’ll die from their rejection.”
Two-time Grammy winning hip-hop artist, Lecrae, learned this lesson through more than his share of adversity—childhood abuse, drugs and alcoholism, a stint in rehab, an abortion, and an unsuccessful suicide attempt.
Along the way, Lecrae attained an unwavering faith in Jesus and began looking to God for affirmation. Now as a chart-topping industry anomaly, he has learned to ignore the haters and make peace with his craft. The hip-hop artist holds nothing back as he divulges the most sensitive details of his life, answers his critics, shares intimate handwritten journal entries, and powerfully models how to be Christian in a secular age.
This is the story of one man’s journey to faith and freedom.
“My prayer is that you’ll make music too. Maybe not with your voice, and maybe not on a stage, but hopefully with your life.” – Lecrae
I love this interview Lecrae did with Priscilla Shirer on her show, check out what he says about being labeled a Christian artist, overcoming abuse as a child and his views on life and faith issues:

Artist Spotlight and Inspiration: Hannah Schaefer on Her Song All The Way
“Through my music I want people to experience the work of the Holy Spirit…I want to bring hope, faith and love with every song I sing/write and change lives.” 
– Hannah Schaefer
For this Artist Spotlight feature 19-year-old Hannah Schaefer introduces herself and the story and passion behind her music and the song “All the Way” which reminds us that we’re never alone no matter what we face in life and when living our purpose – I was so encouraged by the message! Take a listen to the song below and click here to get her EP on iTunes!
Hannah’s Story
I grew up in the small town of Columbia City, Indiana. My childhood memories consists of catching frogs on warm summer nights at my grandparents lake house and, in the winter time, pretending to be a professional snow boarder down the hill in my backyard. I’ve loved growing up in a flyover state where Jesus is frequently the center of it all.
In high school I was heavily involved in ANYTHING musical. I was apart of many things, but my main focus was show choir and youth activities at my church. I would sing and lead the congregation at church; loving every bit of it. I studied classically for a few years and after high school graduation, I planned on attending Indiana University with a scholarship to study Vocal Performance.
Even after I made my college decision, I could just feel the Lord calling me to do bigger and better things for Him. About two weeks after my graduation party, It really hit me that the calling was to pursue becoming a Christian Artist. I just knew that was what I was suppose to do. So, I took a great leap of faith and told my parents (which was pretty scary) then gave up my scholarship.
“I had gotten so caught up in the world that I had forgotten to relax and trust my God…”

Music Pick and Inspiration: Greater is He and Today from Blanca
And greater is He living in me than he who is in the world
Whatever may come, His strength is enough
My heart is at peace, for greater is He
And in His name, giants will fall, and in His name, oceans will part
And in His name, there’s nothing we won’t overcome
This is our God, this is our God
Blanca inspires you that you can make it through and live your purpose today, and that God is so much greater than your circumstances in these two songs from her self-titled debut album (click here to get it on iTunes).
Don’t be held down by your regrets
Don’t let fear steal your every breath
He is with you with every step, so take every chance you get
What are you waiting for…
You’ve got today, To forgive, and to live, let the light shine in
To begin, start again, You’ve got today
Turn the page, make a change, love will find a way
Don’t hesitate, You’ve got today
Your every dream is yours for a reason, nobody else can take your place
It don’t mean a thing if it seems impossible – All things are possible

Editor’s Journal: You Can Begin Again No Matter Where You’ve Been
“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19
No matter where you’ve been, you can begin again. There’s a love and grace that let’s you leave your past behind and start afresh – no “what ifs,” “should’ves” or regrets. It’s time for you to live out your purpose boldly…
There were so many years where I was paralyzed by fear, suffocated in loneliness and haunted by my past. Sometimes the darkness and depression in my life was so overwhelming I didn’t want to get out of bed or go another day. My mind would replay the mistakes, the losses, the inadequacies, the “you’re not enough,” over and over and over again…
Then light came in and showed me Love – He told me the truth of who I was made to be…

Has God ever asked you to step out of the comfortable to follow Him?
Tauren Wells talks about the journey of following God wherever He’s leading in this 4 part series (he did originally on the app Periscope) where he shares his heart and relates to the story of Abraham in the Bible. Tauren has an awesome way of engaging you into the Word and relating it to life – I was soooo inspired by this series and think you will be too! Maybe you could gather a group of friends around and watch it together for a small group discussion or Bible study – it’d definitely be worth the time!
