In This Episode:

Melinda is an Atlanta-based Family, Lifestyle, & Travel creator, international prophetic worship leader, and a sought-after speaker known for her inspiring daily “pep talks” and music ministry.
Shana was born and raised in Detroit. She is a worship leader, songwriter, and independent worship artist with a passion for leading people into God’s presence.
Worship music brought Melinda and Shana together initially.
It is very important that we tell how good God is what he means to us personally. We all have our different trials and tribulation so it is important to tell somebody, I made it so you can make it too. People can have something to hold onto when they feel like all hope is gone.
Stories are very important. When we share them, we are able to give light to other people. Their is power in our individual stories and God can use them in ways to touch others.
Shana and Melinda share their “Return to Love” God story.
Return to Love is an album of various artist including them. The greatest commandment is love that is why it is called Return to Love.
Our job is to love one another even when we don’t understand. Melinda
Shana and Melinda sing for us.
Worship is the posture of your heart and how you can serve God fully.
People can work in many different ways but true worship is the acknowledgement and honor of who God is.
Sometimes we might get tired in this walk but if we have someone supportive to lean on, we can keep going.
There is no division when you are in Christ.
I am going to extend the same grace that I would want if I was to fall short. Be like Jesus and be love.
The more we strive to be like Christ as Christians, the more we reveal His glory on the earth. We are what the world is waiting and longing for.
