Laura Lentz Instagram – @chandlerdmoore has a special place in my heart. As a friend, as a brother, as a songwriter.. we had a conversation about pain, purpose, passion and peace while you may not understand all thats going on.. we also ate Popeyes chicken and biscuits mid podcast and that could become a regular thing! We talked about how he writes songs, what it’s like to win 5 Grammies, his process as a creator, how to keep a love for God in the middle of a culture that does not subscribe to that.. and of course I asked him to sing!
His song “refiner” landed at the hardest time in my life. I could not foresee a future for myself, that made sense. My choices put me in a position where there was no way out. I had asked God to either rescue me somehow, or I was going to take matters into my own hands.
Anybody who has walked through a valley so dark that you contemplate that option, you understand how hopeless it all feels. For whatever reason, that song connected with me and I had it on repeat and ended up saying so be it, God! Refine me, help me.
Well, refine me He did. Not the way I would have chosen! Yet, it was the way it needed to happen… To think that Chandler somewhere at some point had the courage to write a song not knowing who or where it might help somebody, is fascinating to me.
And thats why we need people to continue to dream, and write and create and step out of comfort zones because you simply do not know what God can do with what you have to offer.. its so much bigger than you! Or the fear that his holding you back from creating and trying something “risky..”
I pray this episode inspires people to dream bigger, work passionately and impact the world with what God gave you…
