She was one decision away from becoming a pop star until the industry gave her an ultimatum...

In this raw conversation, @bekaherin shares how choosing life cost her everything. But in the middle of loss, God rewrote her story in a way she never expected.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

It’s funny how every new thing gets questioned.
There was a time when even harmonies in church music were seen as “too much” - like they couldn’t possibly honor God. Which sounds wild now… but at the time, it was just unfamiliar.
Maybe we could stay a little more curious.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Healing is something I’ve wrestled with for a long time.

Believing God can heal but not knowing when He will.

There was a moment on stage once where the pain felt overwhelming. And instead of taking it away, I felt Him whisper… bring it into the song.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

There was a time when Hip Hop in the church felt completely out of place to a lot of people.

I spoke to @triplee about how there’s usually more depth, more story, more nuance than we realize at first glance.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

I’ve heard a lot of conversations around rap music over the years.

Is it something to avoid? Is it something that can’t be redeemed? There are strong opinions, especially in the church.

Watch the full episode with @triplee on Wednesday 10am CT time.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Sometimes following what God asks of you doesn’t make sense to everyone else…

People will always have opinions — especially when your path doesn’t look the way they expect it to. But obedience isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of what’s “right.”

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Looking back now, I can see how God was quietly preparing something in me long before I had language for it.

Maybe they’re clues along the way of what He’s been growing in you all along.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

I got to sit down with @tommeeprofitt and talk about his journey in music.

For a lot of artists, creativity is something that they need.

We’re all wired so differently. The things that move us, the things that wake us up on the inside - they matter more than we think.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

He was in his studio, doing what he loves, while looking out at a world that felt like it was falling apart. And in that tension, he started asking - what can I actually do with what I’ve been given?

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

What does it look like to follow God in an industry driven by success, pressure, and recognition?

In this conversation, @TommeeProfitt shares his journey from a basement studio to scoring major films.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

This story stuck with me.

We talked about someone who had been battling addiction for years - praying, asking for help, doing everything he knew to do. Still nothing changed.
Then one moment of honesty shifted everything.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

I loved this part of the conversation with @johnbevere .

The idea that we’d believe Jesus can forgive sin - but question whether He can actually free us from it.

His power doesn’t stop at forgiveness. It reaches into the places we feel stuck, bound, and unable to change.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Heaven isn’t going to be boring.

This part of the conversation with @johnbevere made me smile a little because I think so many of us quietly believe that. But if God created this world with all its beauty and creativity… why would eternity be any less?

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Where your mind goes when it’s not busy says a lot.
Not the moments where you have to focus - work, school, responsibilities. But the in-between spaces. The places your thoughts drift to without trying.

That’s usually where your heart is anchored.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

What if the way we’ve been thinking about Jesus’ return is completely off?

In this conversation with John Bevere, we unpack what it actually means to live ready for the King.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

There’s something about sitting with the Word, even when it feels a little mysterious.

It invites me to keep seeking even when I don’t understand.

Because I’m not really looking for it to mean everything to everyone, I’m just asking what is God saying to me in this moment?

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

To think that in the middle of all the chaos and noise in the world, something as small and simple as an orphan monkey pulled people in towards compassion, tenderness, even a little bit of joy.

It made me realize… we’re still drawn to empathy. We still care.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Sometimes you just have to remind your own heart… God is still good.

He’s not unaware of what’s happening in the world or what’s happening in your life - the loss, the waiting, the questions. None of it is hidden from Him.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

Grief is a part of life.

If you’re walking through loss right now, I know how quickly the questions rise… why would God allow this? I’ve asked that too.
God isn’t the author of our pain, but He meets us in it.

And somehow, even in the wilderness, there’s still another side.

[Rita Springer @Ritaspringer]

The wilderness is never a place we would choose… but it often becomes the most sacred.
If you’re in it right now, I know it can feel endless, like God is quiet or distant.
But He is not.
