365: Michelle Nezat and Building Faith Through Song

It's the new year! Were you one of those who made a commitment to read your Bible more frequently and regularly this year? If so, you're not alone.

Our guest today offers a resource to help you reach your goal easier this year.

Michelle Nezat is passionate about inspiring you to read, study, and understand the Bible. She is the host of the More Than a Song podcast where she helps you use the songs you listen to on the radio to meditate on God's Word.

Today, Michelle shares her story including how she felt called to missions, the difficult conversation that shifted her direction, and the church situation that hurt her. Along the way, Michelle shares how it all led to embracing her calling in a way she never anticipated.

Michelle's story reminds us that a biblical worldview starts in what we consume and that God is always shaping us if we're paying attention.
