Today’s interview tells the story of new singer/songwriter/worship leader Lauren Daigle. Lauren’s music has been at the top of the Christian iTunes charts for months. It makes sense – she’s got an incredibly unique, soulful voice (think Adele meets Kim Walker) and songs that cut to the heart of what worship is all about.

Engaging, soulful, powerful songs.

This is my favorite lyric:

Before I bring my need

I will bring my heart

Before I lift my cares

I will lift my arms

I wanna know You

I wanna find You

In every season

In every moment

What I love most about this interview is how Lauren talks about God’s faithfulness in the midst of a lot of loneliness and trials. I know this will be an encouragement to you.

Our sponsor for today’s show is Alclair. Alclair is my goto company for custom in-ear monitors.

If you’re a musician or a worship leader, we all know the necessity of having great in ear monitors. For years I used some Shure SE 315’s and when I switched over to Alclair, it was like getting saved all over again. Seriously – the audio quality is the best I’ve ever heard.

I love that they are a smaller company, passionate about people and serving them. Here are a couple recommendations I’ll make:

The new Curve Universal dual drive IEMs have a unique curved shape that fits nearly every ear, won’t fall out, and is a great starting place for a fantastic IEM without going completely custom.
I personally use the Reference Custom IEMs. It’s a perfectly balanced triple driver sound that I love to death.

So here’s the deal, if you use the coupon code “david” at the checkout for your order, you will receive 10% off your purchase. Once again, that’s “david” at the checkout.

Thanks for supporting the show!
