Chiseled Ep 134 - Falling in Love with Christ - Marie Miller

Many young people dream of performing on big stages. Few get the opportunity before adulthood.For Marie Miller, that dream began at age seven. Raised in a musical family, she spent her childhood performing bluegrass, singing and playing both mandolin and guitar.At 15, her father took her to Nashville. By 17, she had signed with Curb Records and later earned a No. 1 Christian radio hit with "You're Not Alone."Her career took her from opening for pop artists and performing at Disney World to sharing stages with artists such as The Backstreet Boys, The Wallflowers, and Five for Fighting.Yet her most memorable performance came before a crowd of 750,000 in Philadelphia during the visit of Pope Francis, where she appeared alongside Aretha Franklin and Andrea Bocelli. As her faith deepened, Marie felt called in a different direction. Choosing purpose over popularity, she stepped away from the nightlife and embraced a mission centered on faith, family, and service through music.Inspired by St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her message of "The Little Way," Marie shares powerful insights on surrender, humility, courage, and resisting the pull of fame.In this episode of Chiseled, Marie discusses trusting God's plan, finding joy in ordinary acts of love, and why the brightest spotlight isn't fame—it's God's love.
