So excited to share with you my new release, Near. Near is a slow, but upbeat and positive, contemporary Christian, acoustic-pop song, co-written by myself & and prolific Nashville songwriter, Joe Beck.

The song is about how God is near to the brokenhearted, even when we face things out of left field in which we have no control over. It doesn’t matter how far away you feel or go from God, He is always guiding you…forever holding you. His love gives you enough strength to pull yourself together and go one breath farther, because He is always near.

I know you all haven’t heard from me in awhile, but I’m still around. This last year has been a year of pain and healing from a herniated disc with sciatica, relationships, and a recent huge career move, which was an arduous process in and of itself, while still working on new music projects.

If you have enjoyed my music and message I put out there, then I hope you’ll be excited to know that I have a new single that will be released soon, “Near”, and also a personal worship EP, “Sacred Space”, that includes a re-mix of Rest (sung by me), and three other new songs.

Near is about how God is near to the broken-hearted. Life happens and some things are just beyond what you ever thought you could go through or handle. When your spirit is crushed and you feel all hope is gone, He can give you just enough to go one breath farther.

I’m excited about Sacred Space because it’s a project compiled of songs from my time of co-writing with other talented Songwriters while I was living in Franklin, TN last year (2016).
You will enjoy the soft, inspirational and worshipful vocals as usual, along with some awesome instrumentals by amazingly talented Nashville session players, that will transport you to a higher place…a Sacred Space!

Stay tuned!

I was listening to an interview between Michael Hyatt and Jen Hatmaker​ today on the online Influence & Impact Summit  (some great things to learn about this week for FREE).

One of the things she said about how her platform of influence has grown (or “Secret Sauce”) is by putting “a much lower priority on self-preservation”. She wasn’t referring to NOT being a self-preservationist, but just making it a lower priority. It reminds me of this scripture:

“For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.” Romans 12:3, ESV

Is this not humility? Especially when considering others?

It made me think of things we have to put aside to do that as believers in Christ. If we are concerned with the care of others, it means we have to go beyond ourselves. It means we have to risk transparency, risk failure, risk being rejected. We have legitimate fears that can cause us to keep ourselves closed up from influencing others around us. Or even being willing to share our lives more publicly. But what is going to be our greater priority? In my life it means I have to risk to love and be transparent with my failures, while going after the thing I know God has planted in my heart to be a blessing for others.HumilityCSLewis

Are there places (or a voice you have) that you hold back in your life and heart, that you wish you could let go of, letting God be your strength, to risk and reach out with?

“‘There is always room at the table for another’ (writer, speaker, leader, etc.)…yes, everything has most likely been said…but ‘there is room for you to say it the way you are going to say it.'” – Jen Hatmaker, Influence & Impact Summit, Online Interview, October 7, 2015

There is room for me to be another singer-songwriter out there…and I have a unique way to share my message through a mental health, spiritual, life lesson and musical perspective.

Does knowing this encourage you? If it does, what is the next step you will take to move you into taking a risk for something God has gifted you so that you can share it with others?

WomenofSubstanceRadioLogoStarting TODAY, my song WHERE I AM is debuting on “What’s on my iPod” show on Women of Substance Radio (online) out of Orange County, CA.

I am 9th in the line-up today and the show starts at 2 p.m. PST/5 p.m. EST. It will continue to debut all this week (Sept 15-19) at the same times and lineup position.

Here is the line-up http://www.wosradio.com/whatsonmyipodshow.htm

You can listen here on your desktop: http://rdo.to/WOSRADIO

OR you can also download their player:
iTunes users
Android users

PLEASE HELP KEEP THE SONG IN ROTATION:
After this week my song will enter heavy rotation for 2 weeks on WOSRadio. Fans can vote a “thumbs up” for my song by clicking the thumbs up icon while it is playing on the desktop player. You can also request my song (Where I Am) from the desktop player top menu. Songs that receive votes and requests will remain in heavy rotation for an additional two weeks (and possibly longer) and could be considered for the Top 20 which gets posted on the website and linked to the player.

I am very excited as this is a show that spins secular music from great female artists that you have all heard of, (but also includes Christian music programming on Sundays). So the opportunity for “Where I Am” to be listened to as crossover music and to influence many for the sake of the Kingdom is a real blessing.

I REALLY NEED YOUR VOTES!

Be listening starting TODAY and every day the rest of this week! And don’t forget to VOTE each day!

Thank you for your support!!!!
Love, Jen
