Do you ever wish you could sing but cant? Some people have the great gift of singing in their lives and are a true joy to listen to and enjoy. Its even greater when that person can use their gift to praise and worship God, and give others an avenue to a greater joy in their faith and help make that connection with God. A gift like this doesn’t always come easy, and requires a lot of work, practice and patience, but what do you do when the trials of life rob you of this joy and gift?
From the age of four Amanda Baugh performed onstage at her church in Central Florida, but life took her through some painful struggles; sexual abuse as a child, drugs, stage fright, being a single mom and then losing her father to Cancer. It’s hard to imagine how things could get much worse, and how she could overcome so much grief and struggle. Through God and his forgiveness, Amanda was able to overcome all of this, and succeed in picking up the mic again, ending years of torment and fear.
Today Amanda Baugh travels the Midwest, Mexico among other places, singing, praising God and making a joyful noise. Amanda’s life and testimony is one of overcoming fear and pain, and rising up from the ashes to sing and praise God in a mighty way. Gran sits with Amanda and we document her journey, her struggle, and recovery from all of these trials of life, and her journey back to the microphone once again. We will also spotlight her song “Hold On” in this episode.
