🎙️ David Leonard: Songwriting that Connects Heaven and Home | The Sheckler Spotlight Ep. 19
In Episode 19 of The Sheckler Spotlight, Harrison welcomes Grammy-nominated artist, worship leader, and songwriter David Leonard for a conversation that goes beyond music into the heart of faith, doubt, and creativity.
David shares how growing up in the church and journeying through seasons of loss and uncertainty shaped his songwriting—music that helps people feel seen by God and brings the sacred into everyday life. From his days with All Sons & Daughters to his acclaimed solo work, David opens up about learning to write songs for local congregations, navigating the pressures of the Christian music industry, and discovering that true worship is about surrender.
🌿 In this episode, David discusses:
- The importance of vulnerability and honesty in faith and art
- Writing songs that speak to real struggles and real hope
- How fatherhood transformed his understanding of God’s love
- The tension between creating for the global church and staying rooted locally
- Why embracing mystery is sometimes more powerful than having all the answers
If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to hold onto faith in the middle of uncertainty—or to create art that connects heaven and home—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
