Show Notes

[1:00] Tell us about your new album Recognition. Many of the songs feel like Renovaré-birthed songs.

[4:30] Did I have something to do with the idea behind the song Maladjusted?

[7:30] How do you decipher a cultural value that is not necessarily a kingdom value? How do you sift through what you should adjust to and what you shouldn’t?

[12:40] Carolyn plays Malajusted

[14:25] What is behind the song To Cry for You?

[20:40] Grief is a good topic to be talking about now as people talk about our experience with the pandemic as grief. One of my favorite quotes is ​“feelings always come out.” There is something about allowing ourselves to be in the suffering that births an ability to be in the blessing, the goodness, the gift. 

[24:15] Carolyn plays To Cry for You

[25:50] Look for Carolyn’s new project – In the Morning — an acoustic worship album with songs that help unlock our hearts to what God wants to do in our midst.
