they think He is. We want to make Jesus famous because He’s the only one who can change us, and the only
way He can change us is through His love. I know that,
and I experience it daily; but it’s so hard to retrain your
brain and heart. Your heart is imprinted through your
belief system and experiences, but if you’re constantly
renewing your mind to the truth, you can experience
that freedom a lot easier. We have a hard time not giving
into our emotions, so we have to retrain ourselves: listen
to music, spend some time with a good friend, listen to
a sermon… that’s what we’re trying to do with this
album. It’s a resource to renew your mind,
to encourage you to believe the truth of
God’s love for all of us.”
And as for Joanna’s relationship
with Jesus? “He’s made me fall in
love with Him even more, which
I continue to feel is impossible,
but each day I keep realizing
how good He is. Each day, I start feeling the love He has
for us toward other people and that’s been so cool; I see
how my heart’s changed and I love that. I love hanging
out with people, love who they are, see so much good
and beauty in people and really care about them and
I know that’s the Lord. I see that growing in my heart,
that I’m becoming more patient, loving, understanding,
giving, and I have grace for people – it’s His love for me
that’s changed my heart to be able to do that.”
That’s the good news, and it’s available to each of us, every day of our lives. It’s time to share that news
with others, and Loud Love is a great stepping stone on that path.
