from Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews · host Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews

Christian music artist Emerson Day, a Dove Award–nominated singer-songwriter, shares the unexpected journey that led her from college lacrosse and a future in federal law enforcement to a calling in Christian music. Known for powerful songs like Get Behind Me and This House Won’t Fall, Emerson opens up about obedience, spiritual warfare, and trusting God when the path forward feels uncertain. In this episode, Emerson reflects on turning down her dream job with the ATF, rediscovering songwriting during a season of waiting, and how faith shaped her music long before success arrived. Her story is a reminder that God wastes nothing—and that obedience often begins with one brave “yes.” Highlights Why Emerson turned down a federal law enforcement career to pursue music How a season of waiting shaped her faith and songwriting The personal story behind Get Behind Me and spiritual warfare Lessons passed down from her grandmother that inspired her lyrics How lacrosse and discipline prepared her for life as an artist The biblical foundation behind This House Won’t Fall (Matthew 7) Why Emerson believes God uses every chapter of our story What she hopes listeners experience when they hear her music Join the Conversation Have you ever felt God calling you to something unexpected—or uncomfortable?
