Hello everyone, thanks for tuning in to our latest video! We are excited to share this with you. Let us know what you think in the comments below 👇
I like it!
Amen 🙏😇
We think you ROCK! Keep letting us in to these artist’s hearts and souls! It’s where they get their art and it’s awesome to hear them articulate how Jesus works his power in them and how they encounter it and shape into what we hear and see.
Thank you SO MUCH! I loved this and it was so helpful to me! I love your station and it’s the only one that I listen to! Thank you for the way you have changed my life!!
Thanks,and thanks Lauren-much needed
We are all too busy. We have to slow down enough to care for each other. Thank you for reminding us, Lauren!
Thank you so very much. Lauren is my favorite Christian singer. Her song “you say” brings me to tears often times. I suffer from suicidal tendencies and have been struggling lately. This interview with Lauren brought me to tears when I listened to Lauren’s transparency and vulnerability. I love Lauren in a platonic way. I am so grateful for all of what she does and I love her style and voice and the words of her music. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So we love her encouraging music and not only - she brings a lot of value trough her interviews. Have you seen this one? ua-cam.com/video/99yoRdta_ZM/v-deo.html
Isn’t she lovely? It’s rhetorical… I know she IS!!! And, yes, she helps eradicate my moments of loneliness simply by singing with her most beautifully sensational voice. 😉💕
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you find her voice so beautiful and that she brings you comfort in moments of loneliness.
The testimonies of how God uses music to speak to His children always make me emotional!
Lauren you are a beautiful gentle tender light in a very dark world and we love you. X
Lauren is the real thing, as authentic as her music. Respect and gratitude to her.
It's viewers like you who inspire us to keep creating content that provides value, spreads a little joy, and makes someone's day brighter. We couldn't ask for a better community.
Thank you for watching, for engaging with our work, and for being a part of this journey with us. Your support keeps us creating, learning and growing. Please know that your kindness does not go unnoticed. Keep letting us know what resonates most with you - we appreciate your feedback!
I dont like how we normalise homelessness in our Christian mindset. « Smile at homeless person and go about your day ». And then talk about how music changes lives and inspire people.
Let people die on streets - not my business, let me just believe I’m so authentic, cute, well dressed, godly and such an inspiration for people. I already saved so many lives with my songs
Typical American show off with a shiny cross
I wish we did something real in this world. Stopped the hunger, homelessness, wars and healed the sick. I’m so pissed at shiny egoistic individuals in pink bubbles who called themselves heroes
WOW! Thank You Lauren Daigle!
Because of my past, I spent almost 14 years in prison. But It was a blessing. It helped me draw a lot closer to God! I heard you for the first time there! I can't change my past, but I can become a better person moving forward. Doing the right thing at times makes me feel all alone. Your music encourages and inspires me! I sang your song, "You Say" at Church. It fits me and describes me. Thank You for allowing God to use you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's incredible how music can touch our lives and help us grow closer to God. Keep moving forward and never forget the power of your own journey.
Lauren, you are awesome and such a light for Jesus! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for your encouragement! It's such a joy to know that my content is making a positive impact. I appreciate your support more than you know.
I don't want to just go through the motions anymore ❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's inspiring to see your determination.
❤😢❤😢 ive had it all and lost everything.And when i realized i had nothing except Jesus i realized he was all i need.That was the moment, i became content, and after that i noticed that everyone that i was around wanted to be around me. Thank you Lauren, you are so beautiful, i want to know you.
Thank you for sharing your powerful story and reminding us of the importance of finding contentment in the simple things in life.
Not sure if that is her personal journey but she is beautiful. No reason why she should be lonely. Maranatha!
My life was spinning out of control when I heard a TV Pastor encouraging viewers to pray Bible verses out loud. Psalm 91 is my go to chapter to pray out loud daily for a Holy Mercy and Protective Shield over my life. Jesus moves mountains for daily bible worshippers
Super encouraging! Appreciate Lauren's vulnerability - that can help so many people.
I am lonely, but Lauren and her music bring me out of my loneliness! Love you, Lauren!
Jesus loves you
@@cmebans35 I know he does!
Thank you Lauren, this is so touching and poignant. My daughter is a vocalist and the most faith filled human I know. She battling an inoperable brain tumor causing epilepsy and a host of other symptoms. Faith is the only ways she’s made it this far, please pray for the miracle of her complete healing. She is truly the definition of loving ones neighbor and shares her gift of music no matter how anxious or unwell. I am in awe this gift from God. Thank you for all you do!
Praying 🙂😇🙌
So glad I came across this. It's so easy to look at Lauren or any other celebrity and say, "I wish I had their (blank) and I wouldn't have any problems." I have been thinking a lot about the verse she quoted from Esther at The Dove Awards last week that says, "Just because you are in this palace do you think you can escape what is going to happen?" I know the feeling I destroyed my right leg in 2018 and I had to stop and self isolate while the rest of the world continued on. It took me two years to learn how to walk normally again and by that time the entire world was in isolation. Loneliness is a big part of life from time to time, and thank God He does separate us to build us up.
Thank you for sharing your story. It's amazing how life can throw unexpected challenges our way, but it's through these experiences that we grow stronger and learn valuable lessons. Keep pushing forward and know that you're not alone in your journey.
@@WGTS919 Thank you so much for the encouragement!!!!! God is so, so good.
You are such an inspiration through your music and belief in Christ. The Holy Spirit shines through you.
Thanks Lauren for speaking your Truth.
The song, " You Say " literally changed my life in so many ways.
I'm so glad to hear that the song had such a powerful impact on your life. Music has a way of reaching deep within us and inspiring us in ways we never thought possible. Keep listening and let it continue to change your life!
That song changed my life too!❤
important for me to hear what Lauren has to say - hearing/seeing her heart for God.
I couldn't agree more! Lauren's perspective on faith is truly inspiring.
I feel this as my mission in life. I want to welcome people as they are and be a friend for them. I just dropped my neighbor some chocolate because I knew he has no family. He was so happy and said you have no ide how much this means to me.
That's such a beautiful mission, to be there for others and make them feel welcome. Keep spreading kindness and making a difference in people's lives!
Thank you Lauren for sharing. Three out of four of my Four kids have suffered from panic attacks, depression, and bipolar. Thanks for opening up. There is nothing to be ashamed of but it's still hard to talk about. God bless you. Our songs are so comforting for me especially song You Say
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad that Lauren's story resonates with you and brings comfort. It's important to create a safe space where we can discuss mental health openly and without shame. Sending love to you and your family.
Been lonely for quite a while now. I know exactly what you are talking about.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It takes courage to open up about loneliness. Remember that you are not alone in this, and there are people who care about you. Reach out to them and don't hesitate to seek support. Also stop by whenwepray.com (a wgts919 project) there you will find hundreds of people supporting each other in prayers.
God is in Lauren ❤
That's amazing to hear how your decision to go to a public school made such a positive impact on your life! It's incredible how friends and family can help heal anxiety and bring so much joy. Here from WGTS91.9 team wishing you a blessed and productive year!
What a beautiful soul ...I appreciate you so much ✌️♥️🙏
You are so welcome
Your lyrics are from a place that only depression knows... I pray you continue be raw with reality of the hearts evolution... God Bless You 🙂
God be praised and we love you ❤
Oh my goodness.
I found your beautiful songs when Look up Child came out.
I would feel so lonely and hear you sing rescue. It lifted me up yesterday & still does today. Had not heard this.. Yes God has blessed you with such a great gift that continues to give.❤
Bless you
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad my music has been able to lift you up and bring you comfort. That's the power of music, right? It's amazing how it can connect people and help us through tough times. Sending you lots of love and blessings!
It is a hard thing to deal with emotionally, feeling alone in a crowded room..
It can be tough to feel alone even when surrounded by people. Remember, you're not alone in this. Reach out to someone you trust and share your feelings. You'll be surprised how many people can relate. You are Loved! If you are lookin for a prayer community give www.whenwepray.com a try - thousands of people are already use it daily.
God and his ♥️ is with you 🙂😇
I love going to the grocery store at around 10 am on Wednesday because that is when the little ole people grocery shop because that is the date the sale starts and I love it because I am 5 feet 10 inches tall and so many little ole people ask me for help getting it down from the shelf and then we always engage in a great conversation. We treat our little ole people so disrespectfully in our country. I wish we were more like Japan where the grandparents help to raise the children while the parents are working hard to earn a living.
There is a joy that comes into my soul every time I see Lauren sharing her joy for our Father in heaven and for our great gift of life and I am so thankful that I get to be a part of her joy and that we get to share that Joy!!!
It's truly uplifting to witness someone so passionate about their faith and the joy it brings them. Lauren's enthusiasm is contagious! Isn't it?
YES, SHE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP GOD FULLY
I LOVE HER
Because of some health issues and the fact that I am a pretty reserved person, I've spent a lot of time being lonely which has left me feeling extremely down and depressed. Thanks for these words Lauren. I feel my life is currently out of control and is lacking stillness. Hoping things can settle down, which may then take away the depression, anxiety and loneliness. I pray that I can start bearing fruit and find happiness and more community.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling down and lonely. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this, and there are resources and support available to help you through this difficult time. Keep reaching out and seeking connections, and know that things can get better.
Such an incredible child of God she is ❤
you are so right! God may be blessed for her gifts!
Lonliness is not fun ive done it for three years. I live alone and its ok because God is with me.
What a warm-hearted person you are, I don't think to understand how hard it is to be left alone by death, my wife died in 2013 and I have been empty since that day, thank you Lauren for your thoughts
Love Lauren’s genuine spirit
Thank You, Lauren, for your inspiration. What a gift that the Lord as giving you. Thank You Lord, for showing me, this message today. I can’t Thank You enough. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Well, it seems like the Lord is quite the fan of our videos! Who am I to argue with divine taste? 😄 Thank you for your kind words, and remember, the Lord works in mysterious ways, even through UA-cam!
Thank you Lauren for being so vulnerable. I have suffered with anxiety and depression, and God has been healing me. I want to walk with joy, integrity and peace, even in trials and brokenness. I will be praying for you, thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It means a lot to us. We are glad to hear that you're finding healing and strength. Keep walking with joy, integrity, and peace!
Thanks Lauren, so wonderful, important topic 💛🇸🇪
Love your heart and love your music!!
There’s not another person on the planet who helps keep my mind stayed on the Lord like Lauren Daigle. She’s so humble and genuinely caring for people that she literally melts my heart and brings confidence to a weary soul.
Thank you for sharing the most beautiful woman in the world and her experiences 91.9. 😊🙏
Wow so many people who are without sin ! So righteous shining individuals that can throw stones, because they are Gods perfect ones. God im a sinner and you're my light. By your will lord,not mine.
#Saved not perfect
Haha, you're absolutely right! It's like the perfect stone-throwing Olympics out here. But hey, we're all in this together, imperfectly striving to be better. Keep shining bright, my friend! #SavedNotPerfect
Love "The Glory Filter"!
Yes! Love others! Thank you Lauren 😊
I ❤ your music! It truly opens the💜 ! Once we open our 💜’s true greatness happens. Keep up the great work, you’re an inspiration
Thank you for your sharing this problem of loneliness. I know exactly that debilitating feeling... Especially not going to sleep, and not wanting to get up.
“Joy Changes Things” 🎶🎶🎶
I'm so happy to hear everything she just said. ❤her music is the music that connects me more than any other! She had a beautiful spirit ❤
lauren, thank you so much for being so honest and enlightening . God Bless you
Thank you for your honesty ❤
Lauren you're the best
So true for today, God bless you Lauren, keep going! Even when you don’t feel like it, He’s always with you, Emmanuel 🙏🏻💛✨
I suffer from depression and anxiety and now live away from friends, who give me joy. Next month we will return to Florida for the winter and I will be around friends once again. I hope my spirit returns. I listen to your music while I exercise every day.
God bless your heart! In the mean time let us and many more wgts family /friends, pray for you at www.whenwepray.com
Glory lens... Yes! Perfect. God bless you
This is so right on! Very encouraging! God bless you!
100% - thx for stopping by.
Thank you, thank you thank you!
Everything Lauren Daigle!!
Angel from heaven. Thank you
My wife and I have found ourselves without a place to call home. Lauren tells me that I am home already because of my faith in Christ Jesus and I believe.
let us and many other friends pray for you on whenwepray.com - remember you are not alone on this journey!
Many yrs ago, when reflecting on Paul & reading a very familiar passage, about contentment, suddenly, a phrase popped out to me, for the 1st time. Paul says, "I learned..." He LEARNED how to be content. I was reminded of that, listening to Lauren. A beautiful, loving heart. 💖
Now I love her more.
Thank you, Lauren, for your kindness to others, your transparency and for making a positive difference in the world for Jesus. You are a Beautiful soul inside and outside. Be encouraged Sister.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my videos have made a positive impact. Keep spreading kindness and making a difference in the world!
I continue to pray for Lauren Daigle🙏♥️ I believe that the more time she spends with God alone in God’s word, listening to Him ,her loneliness will leave. She will be filled with peace, and she will also learn from being in the WORD that homosexuality IS a sin, so when she’s asked that question , on a public platform, where many people are listening, and need the truth ,she won’t say that she doesn’t know.
How do we sing about God’s word but then say that we don’t know what God‘s Word says 😢oxymoron
I appreciate your prayers and your belief in the power of spending time with God. It's important for all of us to seek guidance and wisdom from His word.
Love you Lauren you’re such an inspiration 😊
Psalms 29:11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Everything that has been fathered by God overcomes the corrupt world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.
I love her ❤
Thank you for the love and support. Keep being awesome!
Yes during the Covid period the darkness in my marriage came out into the light but going through that made me stronger and safer through the love and protection from our heavenly Father
I'm glad to hear that you were able to find strength and safety during a challenging time. It's amazing how the power of love and faith can help us overcome any darkness in our lives.
This is a great interview, I love her perspective. Between this and her songs, she is such an encouraging person. Also, I love her outfit!
Thank you Lauren Daigle...
Love you Lauren Daigle !
Thank you Lauren, exactly God,s light is in all, many loose their way. Love is all that is needed to re kindle the light with in. Bless you for burning bright and sharing Love and light to all. You are beautiful.
What a sweet soul sister. She does not let her talent keep her from having community in people around her. God bless her.
Amen! She is a blessing to so many!
What a beautiful soul. She is intelligent and enlightened to the point that she can deliver a message. The way she delivers it, it is from the heart, not a script. I know you will see through a weak person who is actually reaching out for God's love. Please keep moving forward regardless of negative messages. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support and encouragement. Keep spreading positivity and love!
Amen! I love this. I'm hoping my 13 yr old will listen to this! Thank u and thank u for ur music!❤
Glad you love it! An option will be to play it on repeat until your 13-year-old starts singing along! But seriously - We all pray for our kids, specially for the teens - I am here with you! I feel you and pray with you! God has His way! Learning to trust Him is not a easy task (at least for me).
Alone time can be lonely but can look back as a blessing. I would like to spend time with your positive personality. I see you as a blessing in so many ways. Arms wide open!
It's true that alone time can feel lonely at times, but it can also be a time for self-reflection and growth. I appreciate your kind words!
You're the absolute best Lauren~ Thank You!! So Much!! For Everything!! God Bless You :)
You're the best!
We love you. Lauren 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏❤️
GOD HAS REFINED YOU SO WELL... you are a wonderful gift to this lonely broken world!!❤❤

Thank you beautiful Lauren! This video helped me. ❤
So powerful! There are so many people who are feeling loneliness but I love the ways Lauren shares how to handle it and heal.
Being emotionally and mentally abused as a teenager, then left with my grandparents after I graduated, I ended up in self-isolation out of fear. I was lonely, but I was scared. Nowadays, Lauren's song "you say" really helps me.
"You say" is a song which helps millions of people. and helps me too. If you need prayer support let us pray with you and for. you at www.whenwepray.com
I’m beginning to really like this young lady. God bless Lauren Daigle.
I couldn't agree more! Lauren Daigle is incredibly talented and her music is truly inspiring. God bless her indeed!
I knew that someone who sang the songs that she does has to be a truly kind, beautiful, and inspiring young woman! I loved her last album, but this new music has a completely different sound, but I love it as well. Thank you for this video. It just confirmed what a beautiful heart Lauren has for the Lord and for people. Especially Lonely People like myself!❤🥰🙌

I am one of those people at 53 I do not have one single friend. I do consider my daughter as my best friend
At 60, I'm the same. I'm not sure how I got here or why but I'm grateful for my daughter and my Faith.
@@ponytailoftexas my faith is very important to me also. Gives me strength through the storms
I truly believe that there are some people that have Love for all people and they believe everyone in the world is family and friends, I’m one of those people, you have friend in me
I can understand how it feels to not have many friends, but it's wonderful that you have such a strong bond with your daughter. Quality matters more than quantity!
Thank you so very much for this today. It has richly blessed my soul. I was plagued with loneliness and horrible thoughts all day today. The Christmas season is always a dark season for me, one that I tend to loathe, honestly. And then I feel even worse because I am a Christian and I should love this holiday. Hearing Lauren’s story really helped me feel “normal” again. To know that everyone struggles can be such a comfort. The Lord is so good to us. And yes, knowing that we have that same peace whether we are on top of the world or in the valley is what true faith is! God bless you Lauren! ❤
PS don’t let the haters get to you girl. It disgusts me how much you were picked apart in this…. We are no judge. Let the Lord do that job.
Remember, you shall be judged based on the way you judge others.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that Lauren's story resonated with you and brought you comfort. Remember, you're not alone in your struggles. Stay strong and keep the faith!
I found joy in y’all’s songs and sing again…
I love this lady. Her music, the lyrics. I connect deeply esp on loneliness and anxiety…
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you connect deeply with the music and lyrics. It's always amazing when music can touch our souls and make us feel understood.
Thank you, Lauren, and I love your gifting that points people to the Savior! Sandy
Love, love, love your music
Thank you soooo much….I should have been much stronger but as I was slipping away I heard Hold to me! I knew HE was there….you reminded me… preach on young sweet preacher

Thank you so much for your kind words! Lauren is truly an inspiration and I'm glad she's able to bring joy to so many people.
Lauren I love how real you are. I enjoyed listening to your story. I hope God continues to bless your life and all the people that you get the opportunity to witness to. I really have been blessed by your song "Thank God I Do". The first time I heard that song tears started running down my face and I felt the Lord's presence mightily. I will end by saying we are all blessed to be a blessing. I hope you continue to be the Salt and the Light to this world.

I really cant even explain the way she melt my heart up for reals. Like every time i hear her talk and see her i'm instantly taken to a place of warm love and trust. I melt and my guard goes down. I guess i ts a feeling of safety. Warm love. Thank you God for Lauren Daigle.
stay tuned more video are coming ;)
I used to be homeschooled for years, I didn't really have friends outside of youth group and not really good ones either, then one year I decided to go to a public school, today on thanksgiving day I am thankful for friends and family I made at EMES, and how they healed my anxiety and my life.
Grateful for the healing power of friendship and family. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!
Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching! share it with those you think may need it.
Dear Lauren and kin, this moves me. I am greatful because this is good, very, very good. We all could use more of this slowing down, the stilness, the rest, that our souls are just graving for. So we can be still and with Him. Truth be told, i thought you would be, how shall i put it, more effected by the world and it's distraction. But..... as it turns out, you are not. You are actually, very brave and wise, but above all, i believe you. So lead on, lead on sister. Thank you in the name of our beloved King of all Kings. Amen. 🙏😇❤️
I’ve felt like the whole world is against.ive been having panic attacks.its not fun.but im going to to hold onto god.i need his true peace and joy.
