Summary
Episode Description:
In this special Part One conversation, Christina and Ekemini sit down with IAMSON to talk about what it means to keep “sing songs in a strange land” -Psalm 137:4-9. IAMSON’s music is vulnerable, honest, accessible and worshipful. Join us at the table as he reflects on faith, mental health, worship, creativity, and perseverance while navigating spaces that often feel unfamiliar or spiritually challenging. Together, we explore how music becomes both resistance and remembrance. So pull up a chair and have a seat at the table with us!
