Music is one of the most powerful influencers in the world. Music has the power to transport its listeners to another place; it evokes deep emotion, celebration, or mourning, and music can be a conduit of healing, comfort, and peace. Music also has the ability to instill a value system, a message, and a belief system in its listeners.
Growing up, my worldview was shaped by MTV and the radio. I learned about love, sexuality, male and female roles, and morality through the power of music. This can be a scary thing, especially if you consider a child to be like a sponge, soaking up everything around. I ended up living a life that mirrored the music that I listened to. This resulted in a lot of pain in my life.
When I was introduced to worship music in my teen years, I felt moments of absolute freedom and peace. It was unexplainable and incredible at the same time. Worship music gave me a sense of freedom to dance and move without a care in the world. It was also through worship music that I received a lot of healing in my heart. Little did I know, it was the influence of the Holy Spirit that I was experiencing.
