How do you worship God when your heart is breaking and life doesn't make sense? Contemporary Christian artist and author Myshel Wilkins shares her journey through eight miscarriages, revealing how worship became her weapon against despair. Drawing from her West African family's tradition of worshiping through grief, Myshel explains how choosing to magnify God in dark moments invites Heaven's response and torments the enemy who hopes we'll pull away from faith. Vivian explores the balance between bold prayer and surrendering to God's "no," while Myshel unpacks how trauma can sabotage our calling if we retreat into spiritual safety zones. Together, they discuss restoration, the Great Commission, and why God entrusts us with difficult seasons—not to break us, but to showcase His power through our testimonies. Whether you’re rebuilding from heartbreak or searching for balance, you’ll be encouraged to rise, shine, and conquer!
GUEST BIO
For Myshel Wilkins, faith has been the foundation of her life. As the daughter of a Ghanaian mother and a missionary father, she grew up leading worship in churches around the world. But it was through personal heartache—years of infertility and eight painful miscarriages—that propelled her to know God’s strength and goodness in a deeper way.
After college, Myshel toured as a vocalist with top Christian artists, including Mandisa, TobyMac, Matthew West, and Don Moen and was mentored by gospel legend CeCe Winans. But behind the spotlight, Myshel and her husband struggled with the hope of starting a family, even as they faced the heartbreaking possibility it might never happen.
Myshel believes that experiences with profound grief or loss reveal our true character and beliefs. She cautions that the enemy attacks us with his lies when we are at our most vulnerable. Instead of questioning God's goodness or blaming ourselves, we should choose to "count it all joy" and run to God, trusting him fully, worshipping him passionately, and drawing closer to him than ever before.
In her new book, Arise, Shine & Conquer, Myshel shares true stories of pain, perseverance, and breakthrough. Blending personal testimony with biblical truth, she invites readers into the abundant, victorious life God has promised.
