Today's discussion with Myshel Wilkins is filled with wisdom to navigate challenges that bombard you with relentless intensity, and to do it with unwavering faith and hope.
Faith has been the foundation of Myshel Wilkins' life. As the daughter of a Ghanaian mother and a missionary father, she grew up leading worship in churches around the world. She later 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, and dreams that God began to overhaul to give Myshel a heart for the people she ministered to. 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.
In this episode, we discuss the following topics related to navigating challenges and overcoming adversity:
- Worship in the Face of the Unexplainable
- Clinging to Truth Amidst Heartbreak
- Faithfulness in Deferred Hope
- The Enemy's Tactic: Hitchhiking on Grief
- Worship as an Act of Obedience
- Discerning God-Given Identity
- Unlocking Your God-Given Authority
- Tormenting the Enemy Through Worship
- Avoiding the Trap of Comparison
