| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Meredith. I hope you're enjoying these last lazy days of summer before the school year starts. Things get back to moving fast. At my house, we are packing boxes and painting walls and getting ready to move. So this week, I wanted to share an episode from our archive with a guest that I love. I've had the privilege of watching Tasha Leighton speak and lead worship |
| 0:22.7 | and share her story at several women's conferences over the years. She is a woman who believes |
| 0:27.9 | in the power of Jesus to transform lives, including hers. Her music comes out of a story of |
| 0:35.0 | understanding being hurt by the church, searching for truth, finding hope, |
| 0:39.3 | and especially healing in Jesus. Page 102 of the unfolding is the story of Tasha Layton. |
| 0:47.0 | I was really searching. I went to mosque. I went to synagogue. I went to Buddhist meditation |
| 0:52.1 | camp. I did everything that I could possibly do |
| 0:55.5 | to seek out what was true. Because I still believed in God. I just wanted to know which path to him |

| 1:45.0 | From the time she was a little girl, Tasha Layton had a strong faith and even felt a clear call from God. |
| 1:51.3 | She first began using her musical gifts leading worship. But after experiencing pain and dysfunction, |
| 1:58.2 | she left church, set aside her worship gifts, and set out on a long and lonely search for truth. |
| 2:03.8 | You know, I grew up in a Christian home. My parents loved Jesus. They took us to church every week. What I remembered about religion, though, was sort of frilly, itchy socks and a hard |
| 2:11.1 | pew and being told to be quiet. And I think it wasn't until we changed churches, maybe around eight or nine years |
| 2:20.3 | old, that I walked into the church and I felt alive for the first time. I love describing that |
| 2:28.9 | experience because it was like, I finally found where I belonged. I mean, I finally found where I belonged. |
| 2:36.4 | And it just seemed like, you know, |
