At the age of 30, Lauren Daigle has already accomplished so much in her music career. She has broken records in her genre, received a plethora of awards and nominations, and her work has gone multiplatinum. Daigle even scored a spot as a headline performing artist at the Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. Her platinum-selling album Look Up Child\u2019s hit single, \u201cYou Say,\u201d set records for remaining at the top of Billboard\u2019s Hot Christian Songs for over 66 weeks. In 2019, Daigle won Grammy awards for both the album and the chart-topping single.<\/p>\n
Her fame and success have also come with an immense amount of pressure and harsh criticism. Nevertheless, the Grammy award-winning artist faces scrutiny with boldness.<\/p>\n
However, there was a time when the talented singer wasn\u2019t always the most courageous when facing adversity. When she was in high school, the Louisiana native prayed and asked God for a \u201cbackbone\u201d to face bullies, even if it would result in her being targeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, God,\u2019 I want a backbone of boldness. Give me some boldness to where I can stand up for people who need to be stood up for, and where even when my peers are persecuting me, I can still make a stand,\u2019\u201d the Christian music artist explained in an interview with The Christian Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if you ask God for that courage, He will give it to you. He will give you boldness; He will give you courage,\u201d Daigle added.<\/p>\n
That boldness from God has remained in her throughout the years. Those trials she faced as a teenager only prepared her for the notoriety challenges that would come later on. Daigle referenced Matthew 5:10 to summarize what it is like being a young, famous Christian in the industry which reads, \u201cBlessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness\u2019 sake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what always comes to mind,\u201d Daigle stated about the Bible verse. \u201cI know that it\u2019s difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Daigle made a point to urge young Christians to pray and ask God for boldness in the face of adversity: \u201cJust know you\u2019re not the only one doing it. It will feel like, in the moment, that you\u2019re the only one making a stand. But you\u2019re not the only one making a stand. There are others around you. And we\u2019ve got your back,\u201d she proclaimed.<\/p>\n
Daigle explained that when she shares her Christian faith with the world, she aims to emphasize God\u2019s love and compassion for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that not everybody wants to be told about God,\u201d Daigle explained. \u201cBut I have found that people do love to hear that God is love, and He is kind, and He is patient with us. And anytime that people understand God is gentle \u2014 He\u2019s not always this angry man \u2014 their guard is let down. So it\u2019s a way to share the Gospel. It\u2019s a way to tell others about Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regarding what the future holds for Christian music, Daigle shared that she is optimistic that other Christian music artists will keep creating music that unifies and uplifts people through Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if the Christian music industry understands that we have this thing that will reign true for all hearts of men, for every single person, we have an answer for hopeless times, we have the hope of the world,\u201d Daigle stated. \u201cSo if we can tap into that in our writing and our lyricism and in our melodies, then we\u2019ll have a song that the world can cling to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
