Jen Ledger’s advice on how she personally battles fear and anxiety needs to be heard. After battling intense anxiety during a Skillet tour, band mate Korey Cooper gave her the most beautiful and tangible advice on what to do when anxiety comes back for another fight.

“What if this is something that just never goes away for me?” “Then you fight, Jen. While there’s breath in your lungs and until the day that you die, you never stop fighting. You do not let fear rob you of your own life.” – Korey Cooper (Skillet)

Jen added her own solo project to the mix. It’s called LEDGER.

In 2014, before she even had a whole worship album out yet, Lauren Daigle sat down and shared her thoughts on Philippians 4:8. When she found her life devoid of joy, God showed her something incredibly special and helpful about this verse.

And enjoy Lauren’s famous phrase from this video: “Grab a cup of tea. Hang out with Jesus!”

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (Philippians 4:8)

Michael Jr.’s first foray into vlogging wonderfully pokes fun at this style of video that has come into popularity in recent years. He tries out all the tropes himself while trying to find his own style. He asks for suggestions from people on his airplane, he tries vlogging from his car and while working out, he even tries doing an unboxing video. Not to mention selecting his camera and editing style.

In every episode, Michael Jr. takes some time to give a little advice at the end. In this episode, it turned out pretty funny:

“They told me to say something meaningful at the end. Sometimes you gotta jump in, and get in where you don’t even fit in. Because what’s most important in life, is that you walk around with open arms. What does that mean? How are you going to fit through the door?”
