Natalie Grant’s new book on striving to be relevant and chasing success

Powerhouse Christian artist Natalie Grant has made a career out of raising her voice, though it hasn’t always been that way.

As a working mom, wife, artist, and abolitionist, Natalie Grant has struggled to live on purpose while battling the worldly demands of keeping up the appearance of perfection.

Emerging from her own dark spiral of suffocating inadequacy, Natalie found fresh hope in the truth that God has already given women everything they need to live out their God-given identity, passions, and calling.

Through her new book, ‘Finding Your Voice’, the Award-winning singer reveals to women everywhere not only how to find their God-given voice, identity, and passions, but how to use it when they do.

Nicole says that ‘Finding Your Voice’ offers the heart-rallying, life-giving truth that a woman’s voice is not an uncalled for interference to be silenced, but a gift to be used for God’s Kingdom purposes.

She reveals in her new book that accepting who God made her to be and walking in that freedom instead of trying to be relevant is something she’s now addicted to.

While she never thought about writing a book until evangelical publishing company Zondervan approached her with the idea, which she initially declined, after a few days God began to give her a vision of what He wanted her to write about, which led to Finding Your Voice.

Grant said she wrote the book to help others “find their God-given voice” in a world that’s filled with noise and compromise.

“I hate the word relevant because it makes us constantly feel like we have to do something in order to be worthy in this culture or in this moment,” Grant said in an interview with The Christian Post. “If you can just accept who you are and be authentically who you are, be the best version of you instead of trying to be the best version of someone else and make that you, that’s when you go from surviving to thriving.

The mother of 3 told CP that she surrounds herself with the Word of God by writing down scripture everywhere she can.

“I find in the Word what He says about me, what He thinks about me — cherished, valued, worthy, worth it, qualified. I write those things down and I stick them all over. I stick them on my mirror; I stick them on my car, and I read them over my life.”

“If someone can just get the courage to just be honest — it’s really hard because it’s so risky, but if you can just do it — you will find the freedom and the healing that comes. The byproduct of all of that is the freedom and healing it can bring to others. But honestly, the freedom and healing it brings to yourself is at the top of the list,” Grant further said.
