Born to Worship: Anna Destiny on Faith, Bullying, Music & Being Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Born to Worship: Anna Destiny on Faith, Bullying, Music & Being Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Her first word was hallelujah. Not mama. Not dada. Hallelujah, at nine months old in the radiology department at Rady Children's after her echocardiogram. Anna Destiny Spitsbergen was born three months premature at one pound three ounces. Her grandpa prophesied over her that she would live and sing like the angels in heaven. She had open heart surgery at six months old. She spent 105 days in the NICU. And she is the entire reason I started my first business. Today she is 15 years old, writing worship songs, leading chapel band at school, running a YouTube channel, and boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus everywhere she goes. In This Episode You'll Learn: * Anna's miracle story from the beginning, from the NICU to open heart surgery to her first word being hallelujah * Why she started a YouTube channel and what she believes God has called her to do through music * How being bullied in middle school led her to write her original song Who Said * The scripture in John that broke through the bullying and gave her a breakthrough this week * What it looks like to raise a daughter who finds her confidence in God not in the world * How traveling the world as an entrepreneur's daughter shaped her faith and her dreams * Why she puts scripture to music and how the Bible has become her greatest songwriting inspiration * What Anna wants to do when she grows up and why it sounds a lot like Phil Wickham's summer worship nights * What Anna sings live on the podcast, yes really Join our FREE Facebook Group: For His Glory CEO [https://www.facebook.com/groups/9556029734525979/].

From Gloom to Glory: Jessica Harriman's Story of Surrender, Healing & Radical Faith

My life wasn't gloomy before. But was I in the glory of God? No, I was not. Those are Jess the Best's words.  In 18 months, this woman went from opening a Bible for the first time to having a face-to-face encounter with Jesus in the shower, standing in peace while her husband nearly flat-lined, and declaring revival in the middle of the hardest season of her life. This episode is not just a testimony. It is a fire starter.  In This Episode You'll Learn: * How Jess went from reading her Bible for the first time to finishing it cover to cover in one year * What happened in the four hours without a phone at the Inner Circle retreat that changed everything * The moment Jess surrendered on the white couch and got black mascara all over it * The shower encounter where Jesus appeared and said "Lay hands on your husband and he will be healed" * What it looked like to stand in perfect peace while her husband nearly flat-lined in the cancer ward * Why she turned "I'm in survival mode" into "I'm in revival" and showed up to the next call in a Revival hat * How Jess went from almost canceling the retreat to having the greatest transformation in the room * What she tells the mom who wants to raise faith-filled kids but doesn't know where to start * Why from gloom to glory is the most powerful four-word transformation story she has ever heard Join our FREE Facebook Group: For His Glory CEO [https://www.facebook.com/groups/9556029734525979/].
