“Her new album, Lead Me, is a heartfelt journey through rootsy new compositions and reimagined classics—songs that became her saving grace after a near-death birthing experience and a battle with postpartum depression. “The Bible says to ‘comfort those with the same comfort we’ve received from God’,” she shares. “If these songs helped me, I pray that God will use them to help someone else.” In addition to her music, Janice is a sought-after speaker and hosting personality, having partnered with various companies, including BET, Glade, the Stellar Awards and the Dove Awards, as a red carpet correspondent and awards show host.” [Excerpt from www.janicegaines.com]

On today’s podcast, we’ll get into what anchor scriptures are, our next dissected song, and step into the listening room!
Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it’ll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.
Philippians 2:1-11 ESV:
1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

You've got it all in control

And you'll never leave me alone
You've got it all under control
