Description
I am thrilled to be joined by the amazing and talented Shana Wilson Williams and Melinda Watts in today’s episode. Shana is a pastor’s daughter, worship leader and songwriter from Detroit. Melinda is a family lifestyle travel creator, speaker, and worship leader from Atlanta.   These two incredible women have come alongside other talented artists to create the album, Return To Love, which calls the church back to its true purpose by embracing authentic worship and community. It showcases a rich blend of musical styles and diverse voices, all centered on the powerful theme of rediscovering true worship and love in a divided world. As we come off of this election season, Shana and Melinda are here to remind us how important it is to examine our hearts, prioritize our relationship with God, and better love ourselves, our families and our neighbors.   I hope you’ll join us for this rich conversation and will give this powerful album a listen!   4:14 – Shana 101   From Detroit Mom and wife Pastor’s daughter and worship leader     7:00 – Melinda 101   From New Jersey, now in Atlanta Mom and wife Worship leader with a love for ministry     8:21 – Return To Love   How this collaborative project came together The meaning behind this album Returning to the feet of Jesus     11:57 – Rediscovering True Worship   Lessons from Revelation Rediscovering a deep connection with God Putting aside our differences Loving yourself to love others well     20:19 – Overflowing Love: A Call To Kingdom   Being mindful of what you consume Worship that brings your attention back to the presence of God Leading by example and focusing on kingdom values Breaking bread with those who are different than you   36:00 – Takeaways   Shana and Melinda’s hope for this project Connecting with Shana and Melinda     FEATURED QUOTES   “We need to not just be waiting for Him to return but be ready for Him to return. And the only way we can be ready is if we return back to what it was supposed to be- that's genuine love, genuine community, genuine fellowship with one another, putting aside our own motives or agendas or views…and returning to the sacredness of who Jesus is.”   “We are supposed to be known in the world by our love and so to see this project focus on love is really helping us get back to what we should be known by.”   “I hope that after listening to this project, that people reevaluate their relationships- their relationships with one another, with fellow Christians, non-Christians, and that we would keep love at the center.”   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES OR LINKS THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN POST   Listen to the Return To Love Album:   https://www.returntolovealbum.com/   Learn more about Shana   https://www.shanawilsonwilliams.com/sww   Shana on Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/shanawilsonwilliams/?hl=en   Shana on Tik Tok   https://www.tiktok.com/@shanawilsonwilliams   Shana on YouTube   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC98C1ok21B5YlR4xF22vTlw   Learn more about Melinda   https://www.melindawatts.com/   Melinda on Instagram   https://www.instagram.com/melindawattsglobal/   Medina on Facebook   https://www.facebook.com/melindawattsmusic/   Melinda on Tik Tok   https://www.tiktok.com/@melindawatts_   Connect with me:   http://www.stillbeingmolly.com http://instagram.com/stillbeingmolly http://instagram.com/canilaughpod http://twitter.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/stillbeingmolly http://facebook.com/canilaughpod http://tiktok.com/@stillbeingmolly     GET YOUR COPY of ‘IF I DON’T LAUGH, I’LL CRY” TODAY: Barnes & Noble: https://bit.ly/IIDLICbn Amazon: https://amzn.to/48VYFkG ChristianBook: https://bit.ly/IIDLICcb Target: https://bit.ly/3Shh3Q2 Walmart: https://bit.ly/3MmGVpJ Indie Bound: https://bit.ly/IIDLICib Audible: https://amzn.to/3ITcdm8 Kindle:
