What if Your Biggest Wound is the Key to Your Calling? Jamie MacDonald's Story

How does a high school dropout who sang backup for local rappers end up with a #1 Christian song called "Desperate"? Jamie MacDonald shares one of the most powerful and honest testimonies you will ever hear. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on her incredible journey, from a troubled childhood and years of struggling with drugs and alcohol, to the moment at age 21 when she hit "low enough" and cried out to God to rescue her. Let’s go to the Story House!

Most of all, Matthew wanted to make a record that echoed the call he has felt in his own heart to hit his knees like never before and never forget that the most important conversation we could have today and every day of our lives is with the One who made us, knows us, and has the best plan for our lives.
