Are you a singer who is craving more vocal freedom and spontaneity? To be able to imagine something and be able to sing it? The key for finding this for me didnât involved complicated exercises or more warmups. I found breakthrough when I started singing in the spirit. Stay tuned and Iâll tell you how.
"...be filled continually with the Holy Spirit. And your hearts will overflow with a joyful song to the Lord. Keep speaking to each other with words of Scripture, singing the Psalms with praises and spontaneous songs given by the Spirit!"
Ephesians 5:18-19, TPT

Why would I ever want to improvise as a Classical Singer? Does that sound scary and like a crazy thing to learn to do? I see three amazing reasons that Improvisation is Important for Opera Singers:
1. Improvising helps us better understand composed material
2. Improvisation helps us listen and connect with other musicians
3. Improvisation is a Heart Rate Monitor for Classical Singers
Our God is a creator - out of the abundance of who he is, he created the world and every living thing! We are made in His image, and it is also in our nature to create! âOut of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.â (Luke 6:45) I canât wait for you to experience the flow of music coming from your heart!

What could the Performing Arts look like when partnered with God? What if people could get healed while seeing an opera? What if Godâs presence was tangibly felt in theaters? What if new works were written, inspired by Holy Spirit? Could God be calling you to listen in to what is on His heart for the Arts? As we enter a new year, lets unpack together what might be possible. My prayer is that faith rises up within you to partner with God in a new way in your artistry. Letâs dig in!

Youâre in for a treat today, because I felt an urging to revisit today one of my favorite episodes from this year. Do you have something burning inside of you that you feel like the Lord has given you to do? Does it feel completely terrifying, yet also like something you canât ignore?
Youâre in good company with Mary, who carried in her Godâs promise: the birthing Jesus, The Light of the World! The Angel said to Mary: âDo Not Be Afraid!â
So I ask you: What would you do if you had no fear?
The Thing that God has put inside of you to do or to start or to create or to sing or to write - it feels like jumping off of a cliff. It feels terrifying and also a little bit exciting.
This episode was originally released earlier this year, but the message couldnât be more timely:
Are you afraid of doing the thing burning in your heart from the Lord? The good news is that you carry the Light of the World inside of you. This Christmas season, every time you see a string of lights, or the stars out in the sky tonight, or hold a candle during a Christmas Eve service, remember WHO lives inside of you! Remember whoâs power is living in you to see his Word fulfillled!
I urge you this Christmas season to STEP OUT and allow God to enable you to do thing he has called you to do!
Letâs go!!!

Do you struggle sometimes with a sense of loneliness or not quite fitting in? Perhaps you're a Christian in a secular art form and you feel like you might be a bit of the odd one out at times or you might be living in a different country and culture.
Maybe you have longings from God about something that he wants to birth in you and through you. And you might find that those around you don't really understand that. And you might just be feeling this deep sense of longing in your heart for something that you can't quite put your finger on.
Iâve got good news for you today! In this episode, I unpack how God is in the business of taking the lonely, the outcast, the abandoned, the rejected and turning it around. He is bringing new life into you, giving you identity and purpose, putting you in community and causing you to flourish. Letâs unpack all of this today! We will take a deep dive into Psalm 68:6.
"God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into prosperity.â
Psalm 68:6, NKJV

I want to highlight something that I believe is naturally in us from birth that we may have forgotten as musicians. And that is:
SINGERS ARE CREATORS
We are born with ideas, curiosity, and the ability to think of a melody and speak it forth - to sing it forth.
I believe we were created, yes, for singing beautiful music composed by others, but even beyond that, I believe we can use our classically trained voices for expression and new sound creation. I believe we have melodies, words, and concepts we are meant to share, sing and declare over people and into the world.
Are you intrigued? I invite you to prepare your heart to listen in for the MORE that God has for you today. Letâs go!

I love the moment when God speaks to us, and deposits a promise into our lives. This might be a promise directly from the Bible, or through a prophetic word spoken from another believer who is listening in to the heart of God.
Do we have any responsibility to help see this promise come to fruition? Maryâs response in Luke, Chapter 1 teaches us about agreeing with God's promise, and aligning ourselves with the testimony of others who have walked a similar journey!

Do you feel like thereâs something in your life that feels out of your hands? Do you feel like your circumstances are not what you would wish, but you know you canât do anything to change it? I have felt that way too recently, in several areas of my life. And the Lord has showed me time and again the road to His peace. In todayâs episode, we will unpack 3 tools for processing our circumstances and re-orienting our heart around Godâs perspective. 1. Journaling 2. Worshiping 3. Re-orient around the Word.
Scriptures mentioned:
John 3:16Ephesians 1:18-23, The Passion Translation
WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS
1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!What wondrous love is this, O my soul!What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of blissto bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!2. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,when I was sinking down, sinking down,when I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown,Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.3. To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;to God and to the Lamb I will sing;to God and to the Lamb, who is the great I AMwhile millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,while millions join the theme, I will sing.4. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on,and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.And when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be,and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,and through eternity I'll sing on.

Do you find that you are accidentally holding your breath throughout the day? Do you find yourself loosing your singing or speaking voice sometimes, or have less power than you used to? Your unintentional shallow breathing might be causing the diaphragmâs path to be shortened, and your pressure system and support system not working as it should. I explore some reasons that we unintentionally hold our breath throughout the day and what we can do about! When you get your diaphragm and pelvic floor working together better, it will result in more power and longevity for your voice!

Do you have a problem or circumstance that seems like its at an impasse? Solve your problem by changing the question! I call this "Victory Through Redefinition." I'll teach you how to examine both the question and the potential answer to challenge the "should be's" or the way things usually are. As an example, let's take a look at the challenge you may have of finding time to spend with the Lord. We examine how what you're actually looking for is communion with the Lord, and how it can be found in many different "out-of-the-box" ways. Let's dig in!
