As I was writing the song with Michael Farren (“Trust In You” - Lauren Daigle) and Travis Ryan (“We Believe” - Newsboys) the miracle hadn’t happened yet.

Hello Grace is a reminder that His Grace is sufficient, and it is always available.” This groundbreaking trio is also the first Christian band to have a crypto coin (Also known as social token).

Which brings me to now, I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and I finally feel like I’m not treading water continuously. I felt that after having a daughter that I really began to dig deep and cling to my southern roots. That there is such value in teaching our babies to be respectable humans and to instill Christian values in them. It gave me the urge to share this journey with other mothers, but I also knew I couldn’t do it alone. I wanted other moms, similar to me, to share with you as well. That's when, Modern Southern Mother was born. I hope you join us on this journey.” - Kacie Gaston, Mother Southern Mother, @KacieGaston, @IAmAModernSouthernMother
