People around us may think they know what’s best for our future, but in the end, it’s God’s plan that matters most. This is a truth Grammy-winning recording artist Mali Music learned younger than most. Mali was just a teenager when he decided, against his family, friends, and loved ones’ wishes, to pursue his passion for creating music. In this previously aired episode, Mali details his childhood in the church, his boyhood pressures in athletics, and how he overcame criticism to chase the dreams God grew within him.

Guest Bio:

Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Mali Music began creating and arranging his own material at the age of twelve. Since then, he’s gone on to receive acclaim in both the sacred and secular music worlds with his albums, 2econd Coming, Mali Is…, and The Book of Mali. His song “Beautiful” also made the Billboard charts and propelled him into the mainstream music industry.

Notes & Quotes:

“I loved falling into just the shadow of the Most High. Like just disappearing in worship.”
“I just never wanted the word of God, or the words of God or the things of God, to be detested or underestimated like I was for carrying it, loving it, valuing it.”
“And I just love that music is going to be connected to what God is doing.”
