In this episode, Cynthia reflects on an unexpected musical experience at a friend’s ice skating competition and how one beautiful piece, Little Things by Adrián Berenguer, followed her home to the piano.

🎹🎙️Faith, Music and the Artist's Journey (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I reflect on a day that moved from quiet nostalgia to an electric evening concert with musician Jeremy Camp. After the stillness of a historic church, wooden pews, natural light, and a pump organ, the flashing lights, drums, electric guitars, and joyful worship of the evening created a powerful contrast.
