    JUSTIN WARREN: From Almost Giving Up to Making Waves

    JUSTIN WARREN: From Almost Giving Up to Making Waves

    Hey, folks! I've got an amazing guest on the show - the one and only Justin Warren! 
     
    He's a talented artist and worship leader from North Carolina who's been opening for some of the biggest names in the industry, like Rhett Walker, JJ Weeks, and Mercy Me - just to name a few! With over a million streams on his music, he's definitely making some waves in the scene, and I can't wait to see what he does next.
     
    In our chat, Justin talks about how he almost walked away from everything in his young married life, but with God's help, he was able to restore his marriage and his heart for God. And let me tell you, this guy is as real as it gets - he's the son of a preacher man, a husband of 15 years, and a proud dad of two sons (with a third on the way!). Juggling a busy ministry, travel, and family life, Justin's got a lot on his plate, but he's handling it like a champ.
     
    So grab your headphones and get ready for a great conversation with Justin Warren - radiant recording artist, million-song streamer, worship leader, songwriter, and my new best friend. And if you enjoy our chat, be sure to like and share this episode with all your musician and worship-leading friends (and anyone else who loves great podcasts). Let's glorify God in the highest ways possible and show up in the world as our best selves!
     
    Also - don’t miss Justin singing All Things Well live on the podcast.
