Stewarding Your Talents with Eric Nordhoff
Q: What does a talent stack mean and why is it important for a songwriter?
A talent stack is a collection of learned skills and natural abilities that combine to create a unique toolkit, which opens opportunities and differentiates a creator; stacking these talents through deliberate practice helps you grow and monetize your craft over time.
The Nearness of God in Grief
Q: How did grief transform your songwriting, particularly with the song I Am?
The interviewee explains that the song emerged from raw, honest prayers after her father's passing, serving as a personal dialogue with God that offered comfort and clarity.
The Nearness of God in Grief
Q: How did your faith journey begin, and what role did music play early on?
She describes being raised in a faith-filled family, with a strong emphasis on theology, and how early exposure to music through church activities shaped her gifts and desire to serve.
Forging Your Tribe with Meg Ammons
Q: What sparked Mercy Tribe and how did it begin?
Mercy Tribe began as Meg's realization that there was a need for a safe, encouraging space for women in Christian songwriting, sparked by Facebook outreach and a growing sense of community; it evolved from retreats to live recordings and a sustained mission to champion female writers.
Learning While Leading with Sharon Byrd
Q: What are your top tips for other songwriters when writing songs for the body of Christ?
Write from a place of worship and encounter with the Lord rather than just trying to compose a song on demand.
