What happens when a violinist catches a searing hot curling iron with her bare hand hours before a music video shoot? Jenny Oaks Baker, Grammy-nominated Billboard #1 artist and daughter of President Dallin H. Oaks, watched her bright red, shiny hand heal completely within 20 minutes after praying for a miracle. In this episode of Why We Believe with host Nathan Gwilliam, Jenny shares the email her father sent from the BYU Jerusalem Center that taught her the difference between faith in outcomes and faith in Jesus Christ when her mother was dying of cancer. She reveals how walking the Grammys red carpet taught her that the world erases your name the moment you pass, but God keeps ours written on His hands forever. Jenny also opens up about the moment she realized God had solved her impossible dream of being a concert violinist AND a present mother, 46 years before she even knew the answer. Her story reveals that when we follow the Spirit without knowing the destination, God creates paths we never could have imagined.
