Worship Union
Suzy Yaraei- Part 1. Episode 17
Summary:
In Part I open up about my challenging upbringing and how I discovered my love for singing. Throughout my time in Nashville, I had the opportunity to perform with some amazing recording artists. But it wasn't until I met Sheri Hanes, a wonderful Christian mentor, that my life truly transformed while touring with Reba McEntire. Through her guidance, I found my way to Jesus, and my faith has been an anchor ever since. My story is one of hearing God's voice and following it, even when it meant making a difficult choice. This decision ultimately saved me from a devastating plane crash. I share my testimony in the hopes that it will inspire and encourage others.
SHOW NOTES!!
when you say encounter, what does that mean?-
“I could feel all through my being that God was real. And there was no denying it. in my heart of hearts, I want everyone to have that. It was love. I felt real love for the first time. Jesus was my first encounter with real love.”
“You were pushing boundaries so others could get free.”- Molly
“We were trying to follow the Holy Spirit as best we could and that is always transparent. And it does make people uncomfortable (in the church at large). But the presence of God would come. We had the best times just trying to follow the Holy Spirit with grace. We still do.”
on the body of Christ-
“We have monthly partners and donors. We are fundraisers. That was really hard at first and actually very painful. But now I love it. I am so grateful. It’s too overwhelming to talk about how grateful I am to the body of Christ. I love the church so much and I love the body of Christ. It is so humbling but they take care of us. They love us. And we love them.”
on dreams-
“Stay so open. It’s never too late. We are never too old. I had all kinds of things I wanted to do and thought I was supposed to do. And God is surprising me now with some of these dreams coming true. "
a thought to end with-
“We don’t have to know everything. Let go and let every day bring unexpected beauty.
I could go on forever about how beautiful and unexpected our walk with God could and should be.”
THANKS FOR TUNING IN!
