A Story of Surrender: Playing For the King, No Longer the Applause with Mia Kelso | Ep. 26

Send Casey a text!!As musicians, we can be so quick to forget our identity is found in being made in the image of God and being a child of the King.  We opt to substitute something so magnificent for something so fleeting... finding worth in our music.  Mia Kelso is an incredible violinist who has ventured from playing in the Dallas Symphony to fiddling at the Grand Ole Opry and beyond.  I had the opportunity to hear from Mia about how the Lord captured her heart, lead her through uncertain times, and  freed her from the fear of man and performing for praise.  My conversation with Mia is honest, fun, encouraging, God glorifying and will surely build you up in your faith.  You won't want to miss it!Discussion Questions - Try discussing with a friend or in our Facebook Discussion GroupDo you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Do you relate at all to Mia’s story of loving the approval, praise, and acceptance being a violinist got her? Do you relate to her story of putting her self worth in the quality of her musical performances?What is your relationship with music like?  Is it what God wanted you to have?Are there other genres of music or kinds of instruments that you are interested in learning that might be a good release from what you’re used to? Have you ever had a playing related injury that derailed your plans?  How did you deal with that and how did God grow you through that?  What does surrender mean to you?  How can you surrender to God today?Have you ever thought about God smiling and being delighted watching you use the gifts He’s given you? How might that impact how you perform? May God be calling you towards something outside of the music world? Thanks so much for listening!
