So today I have a mother, a wife, a producer, a rapper, an artist. She is all that and so much more.

And she has got a story to tell. I cannot wait for you to get to know Lanelle Grant.

Welcome to the Jada Edwards podcast.

Welcome to season four of the Jada Edwards podcast. As always, God is giving us his word to share personal stories and great conversations you are going to want to hear.

So, La Nelle.

Oh, hold on, let me change my note to capital end.

I was, I had to be corrected on that.

La Nail.

Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. My mama thanks you. That's right. Listen, because the blacks, we love a pachshmi, an extra capital. I was so thankful it wasn't an apostrophe. It could have been an apostrophe. It could have been an apostrophe. We're okay with a capital. We love a little breakup, mix it up. I'm not mad. I'm so glad to have you here. Thank you. I know our audience wants to get to know you. I love, first of all, I love music. I love what you're doing with music. It's so much more than what we hear, especially you as a producer. Getting to know you a little bit, understand there's so much that leads up to what we actually end up hearing and so much you've done that you yourself have not executed, like you've given to others, just been behind the scenes. And so it's really cool to see what God is doing with you now. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Space and timing. You know what I'm saying? God's timing. Oh, listen, pun intended. Check the trick list. Check the track list. Yes. Yes. So I want to just kind of jump in and ask one of the buzzwords that sometimes gets on my nerves. Actually, people are like, how do I find my purpose? Yes. How do I call? And I, man, we so, even in Christian circles, we get so obsessed with purpose and calling that we can miss what I think is

assignment yes so if you get stuck on purpose of calling you're like this what I have to do all day

every day assignments change like if I'm if I'm working toward a degree I may have an end go but my

assignment changes class to class each week and so I kind of like more of a now what God is saying to me now

so that we don't have to get locked into this thing. So what would you say is your assignment right

now in this space that you're... Man, I'm so. This is such a beautiful question. And I want to be

as concise as I can because I will get long-winded on you. But for context, you know, I was coming from a space where I really wanted to know, like, what my purpose was. Like, God, give me my purpose, like, Lord, I just felt like I kept asking for a vision, and like, he wouldn't give me, like, my own vision. I felt away about it. I'm like, Lord, you know, like, I'll serve. I don't have no problem serving.

But I feel like I should have my own vision. And this extreme intense moment, I'm up, you know what I'm saying, by myself, you know, in my prayer language, just like really trying to get it figured out.

And, you know, the Holy Spirit is in the room and I can feel I'm about to get it.

Like, and I, like, instantly go into praise before it even happens.

My journal is out and I know I'm about to get it.

I go over to the journal.

And what comes out is my purpose is to glorify God and to die an empty vessel unto him.

And I was like, I knew the spirit was in that moment, but I was like, disappointed. I was like, no, God. No, God. No, God. Fast forward. And, you know, I will mature. You know, you're talking to me at 34. You know, I'm sure I'm mature. But right now for me, the only purpose is to glorify God.
