A Conversation with LaShawn Nieves and The Choir Room Team on The Transformative Power of Singing the Gospel

The Choir Room Podcast

Join us on a faith-filled journey as we uncover the extraordinary power of singing gospel music, with a special focus on its impact within choirs.
We're thrilled to introduce LaShawn Nieves, our esteemed guest contributor who has dedicated her life to gospel music as a singer, worship leader, and so much more. She's here to unfold her story, from her early involvement with gospel music to eventually becoming a worship leader and coach. She shares tidbits of leading worship, and how her life experiences have shaped her unique coaching style and how she is currently guiding others on their music journey.
As we progress, we delve into the essence of hymns and their profound role in gospel music. We discuss the importance of teaching congregations about the songs they sing, fostering not just an auditory experience but a deeply spiritual one. The episode concludes on a powerful note, discussing the concept of surrender and worship. We encourage listeners to acknowledge God as our Lord and Savior, not just with words, but by surrendering their whole being - mind, spirit, and body. This episode is not just an exploration of gospel music but a celebration of its transformative power.
