Page 192: Andrew Ripp: Addiction, Desperation, and the One Who Saves 

After Andrew Ripp’s family broke apart, he moved to California just to get away. His addiction to alcohol eventually led to the destruction of every important relationship in his life. He had grown up in religion, but never had a relationship with a god who could help. He was alone and desperate. But Andrew says even the broken and difficult things in life can be a blessing, if they steer you toward the God who loves you. Today Andrew is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, known for songs like “Jericho,” and “Fill My Cup.” He spends his days writing and singing about the One who saved him.

Page 186: Naomi Raine: Maverick City Artist on Hearing God’s Voice 

Naomi Raine has been singing about God since she was two and writing songs since she was seven. Her parents were worship leaders, so she literally grew up going to rehearsals and hearing powerful worship songs. Even before she was born, there was a word spoken over her parents that their children would bless the earth. That word, combined with a stirring in Naomi, gave her a sense that God was going to use her songs to reach the nations. But for many years her songs, just like her relationship with God, were being cultivated in the small, quiet places. Today, Naomi’s voice reaches the nations as part of Maverick City Music. Songs like “Jireh” and “Promises” have become anthems for worshipers around the world. Show Notes: Website: https://www.naomirainemusic.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naomiraine/?hl=en
