How do you find your thing when everyone is expecting something else from you? 

If you've felt boxed in by comparisons to other artists, cookie-cutter industry expectations, or the spiritual sandtrap of inauthentic ministry, you need to hear this story of an artist who dared to break free and find her own voice. 

Songwriter, worship leader and recording artist Keisha McFarland's journey from Chicago, to Europe and Asia, and finally to South Florida was filled with twists and turns, but it was her persistence in being herself that changed everything. As she faced rejection and embraced resilience, little did she know that her true calling was just around the corner. Join us as we unravel the captivating story of Keisha's transformation, and discover how you too can embrace a path of authenticity and creative impact.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

• Embrace authenticity in both creative pursuits and ministry.
• Grow your confidence by overcoming hurdles and embracing unprecedented paths in ministry work.
• Build a well-nurtured mindset that keeps your hope alive amid challenging situations.
• See God's hand even in rejection, correction and disappointment on your way to your divine, designated place of creative blessing. 

Keshia McFarland is an extraordinary singer, songwriter, recording artist, performer, and music ministry leader. Raised in the musically-rich city of Chicago, Illinois, Keshia’s ministry of music began while serving at her father’s church. Her gift was further cultivated by such Gospel music greats as Walt Whitman, Smokie Norful, Ricky Dillard, and her sister, Kim McFarland.

Keshia's unique gift to both lead and follow led to many creative and ministry opportunities, from The Potter’s House of Dallas, Texas  to tours in the United Kingdom.  Keshia spent a year in Osaka, Japan performing daily at Universal Studios Japan, as well as teaching Gospel music at Billboard’s SoulBird Music School in several cities in Japan. Her songs have been recorded by several artists and she has released two acclaimed projects of her own, with more on the way.
