Today’s interview tells the story of new singer/songwriter/worship leader Lauren Daigle. Lauren’s music has been at the top of the Christian iTunes charts for months. It makes sense – she’s got an incredibly unique, soulful voice (think Adele meets Kim Walker) and songs that cut to the heart of what worship is all about.
Engaging, soulful, powerful songs.
This is my favorite lyric:
Before I bring my need
I will bring my heart
Before I lift my cares
I will lift my arms
I wanna know You
I wanna find You
In every season
In every moment
What I love most about this interview is how Lauren talks about God’s faithfulness in the midst of a lot of loneliness and trials. I know this will be an encouragement to you.

Show Sponsor
Our sponsor for today’s show is Alclair. Alclair is my goto company for custom in-ear monitors.
If you’re a musician or a worship leader, we all know the necessity of having great in ear monitors. For years I used some Shure SE 315’s and when I switched over to Alclair, it was like getting saved all over again. Seriously – the audio quality is the best I’ve ever heard.
I love that they are a smaller company, passionate about people and serving them. Here are a couple recommendations I’ll make:
- The new Curve Universal dual drive IEMs have a unique curved shape that fits nearly every ear, won’t fall out, and is a great starting place for a fantastic IEM without going completely custom.
- I personally use the Reference Custom IEMs. It’s a perfectly balanced triple driver sound that I love to death.
So here’s the deal, if you use the coupon code “david” at the checkout for your order, you will receive 10% off your purchase. Once again, that’s “david” at the checkout.

Hey David – just listened to this podcast. Personally this podcast really hit me, in a good way. 12 days ago, I was setting up sound equipment at a remote church so that I could lead worship to about 80 people who were “graduating” from participating in an 8 week Alpha program. Their hearts were on fire for the Lord. Anyway, as I was bringing equipment into the church, I threw out my back. I’ve been out of work and at home for 12 days with severe back pain. Now if I weren’t one who trusts that His plans are the best for me, I’d be sitting here saying, “Why me Lord, I was serving your church and this is what I get!?” But instead, as you and Lauren spoke about today, I take this period of infirmity as an introspective time to reset myself and trust in His plan, wherever it takes me. Lauren’s words of trust in the Lord were powerful for me to hear. Your podcasts are all so inspiring, David! Thanks for your effort in helping us all to serve Him more completely.

Wow, thanks for the encouraging words, Dave. So sorry for what you’re walking through. Those are difficult times when you experience setbacks while serving God. It all depends on how you seem them though. Setbacks can become stepping stones to a greater dimension of God’s blessing.
Hi David, this episode right here is life! I have listened to a lot of your episode s gradually making my way theough it. But this episode resonates strongly with me I don’t know why and the one with the guy from South Africa who spoke about working with your church to find out what they want to sing and not trying to be copy cats, that was too powerful. God bless you so much for what you do, you literally download wisdom that can only be gained through years of experience into a 30 minutes podcast!
More grace to you.
