Episode Highlights

02:43 You definitely hit the nail right on the head when you say that I also display my faith. I'm very adamant about being vocal about where all my help comes from and knowing that all my help comes from above, which is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is my Lord and Savior and I know that’s who has kept me, that's who has sustained me who has protected me in this industry and being an entertainer.

07:45 The only time I would move is when I heard music, she specifically speaks to two songs that I would move to all the time.

12:03The energy that they bring to the stage, it's always different, you know, always different types of electric shocks.

16:35 God has, in his own sovereign way, just presented them on a platter that was like, wow, I would have never thought of that, I couldn't even fathom, you know, so I'm at a point in my life where, wherever He leads me, I will follow up.

27:18 I have always taken the Bible to be an acronym for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

33:30 No man can close any door that God has opened and no man can open any door that he has shut.

41:56 The big word is just evolution, you know, and just growing and developing.
