Are You Living Your Soul's Purpose?

Are you living your soul's purpose? Do you wake up on fire with inspiration? Rickie Byars is the embodiment of someone who is doing what she came here to do. She is the songwriter of so many of our beloved New Thought Ancient Wisdom songs. But how did she get from the segregated South to singing on stage with Will.I.Am and John Legend or being the music director and principal writer for the Agape International Choir? What challenges did she face? What obstacles did she overcome? When did she have to "Let go and let God?" If you'd like to join Rickie and Friends for a Love Well Weekend of Music, Joy and Community, register for the RIGASA Revival at 1440.org or RickieByars.org. Song at the end: Blessed Always by Rickie Byars. https://www.1440.org/rigasa-summer-revival-2026 [https://www.1440.org/rigasa-summer-revival-2026] This is a public episode.
