Podcast appearances and mentions of Ginny Owens

Reach out! I'd love to hear from you!Talk from the women's conference at Fellowship Community Church on May 3rd, 2025. Have you ever noticed how certain songs, thoughts, or messages play on constant repeat in your mind? In our noisy world, we're constantly listening to something, but what voice truly shapes who we are becoming?Through personal stories of navigating blindness and the pressure to achieve, Ginny Owens unpacks the transformative power of "abiding" in Christ—the ancient spiritual practice that changes everything. Drawing from Jesus' powerful teaching in John 15 about the vine and branches, she reveals how we are always connected to some source of nourishment, whether it's career success, relationships, social validation, or Christ himself.The revolutionary truth is that we don't manufacture fruit in our lives—we carry it from whatever source we're plugged into. "What you revere is what you will resemble," Jenny explains, challenging us to examine what voice truly speaks loudest in our daily lives. Are we drawing life from temporary sources that ultimately leave us withering, or from the true vine who offers eternal nourishment?This message explores why God's pruning process, though painful, always leads to greater fruitfulness. Ginny vulnerably shares her journey from making "polite prayers" that created walls between herself and God to discovering the freedom of bringing her authentic heart to Jesus. She offers practical strategies—see, savor, and sing—for making Christ's voice the dominant soundtrack of your life.Whether you're feeling disconnected from God, struggling with anxiety, or simply desiring a more authentic spiritual life, this episode will help you recognize what's truly playing on repeat in your mind and how to tune into the voice that brings genuine transformation. Join us in discovering how to let love be the loudest voice we hear.Learn more or connect with Ginny Owens: https://ginnyowens.com/ Now get out into the world and be a woman who intentionally encourages another! #women #podcast

Reach out! I'd love to hear from you!Talk from the women's conference at Fellowship Community Church on May 3rd, 2025. Have you ever felt like God's voice is impossible to hear amid life's chaos? Drawing from her experience losing her sight as a child, Ginny Owens takes us on a powerful journey from middle school bullying to discovering divine friendship that transforms even our darkest moments.When Ginny faced cruel treatment from the "mean girls" in the school cafeteria, her mother offered wisdom that would eventually reshape her understanding of faith: "Jesus is always your best friend, but there will be days when He is your only friend." Yet this truth felt distant and theoretical. After all, who cares if Jesus loves you when your circumstances feel overwhelming? If His love is real, how does it change your life?This question forms the heart of Jenny's message as she explores how we've allowed career pressures, comparison, self-doubt, relationship struggles, and digital distraction to muffle God's voice of truth and love. Through a beautiful examination of Psalm 19, she reveals how King David discovered God speaking through the grandeur of creation and the intimate counsel of Scripture.Ginny explains that the Bible isn't a rulebook but a living conversation with our closest friend who diagnoses our deepest struggles, speaks transformative truth, and offers unfailing love. She unpacks practical tools for hearing God's voice, including Tim Keller's approach to Scripture that asks: What truth can I claim? What command should I follow? What promise can I hold onto? How will my life change today?Most profoundly, she reminds us that God has spoken His love to humanity since before time began. "God loved you enough to plan for your infinite future before you ever had a past." The same God who spoke creation into being wants an intimate friendship with you today.Ready to hear God's voice above the noise? Join our community as we learn to quiet competing voices and experience the peace that comes through divine friendship.

On this episode of This vs. That, we welcome Ginny Owens, a talented singer-songwriter, author, and Director of Worship Arts and Community Engagement in New York City. We explore the intriguing topic of Seeing vs. Believing through the unique perspective of Ginny, who lost her eyesight at the age of three. We discuss how Ginny's experience of blindness has shaped her faith journey and her understanding of trust and belief. We examine the prevalence of sight and blindness imagery in Scripture and consider its significance in our spiritual lives. Throughout our conversation, we reflect on the challenges of self-reliance, the importance of weakness in our faith, and how suffering can open us up to deeper connections with God. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that challenges our perceptions and encourages us to see beyond the physical realm, embracing a faith that doesn't require sight to believe. ----- This vs. That is a podcast of ⁠⁠Anchored Hope⁠⁠.

As I've mentioned before here on the podcast, one of the big benefits of hosting your own show is that it gives you the opportunity to talk to really cool people! Today's episode is no exception. I'm excited to bring you my conversation with the amazing Ginny Owens. I was introduced to her music back in 1999 with her album Without Condition, and I've been a fan ever since. Ginny Owens has spent the past two decades sharing her heart with listeners and readers as a singer/songwriter, author, teacher, and advocate. Her unique musical style and inspirational lyrics have transcended genre definition and taken her to diverse venues that include the White House, the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the National Day of Prayer in Washington, D.C. Ginny has also been an adjunct professor at her alma mater, Belmont University, served as a worship leader, partnered with non-profits, and authored two books, the latest of which is Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture. She also just released her newest album a few weeks ago! It's called I Know a Secret, and it's fantastic! If you're a fan of thought-provoking music and great songwriting, you'll love it as well. Ginny and I talked about her life as a recording artist, how she got started in music, her songwriting process, the value of having a portfolio of creative work, and much more. As a side note, one of the most frequent frustrations I hear from writers is that they want to write, but they don't like marketing. If you have ever felt that way, I know you'll be encouraged by Ginny's perspective, which is that it's not marketing—it's encouraging. This was definitely a very encouraging conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! * * * Today's episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.

Audio series: Sermon on the Mount reflections by Fr. Richard Rohr Second Week of Advent, a reading from Matthew's Gospel John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the desert of Judea and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" It was of him that the prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. John wore clothing made of camel's hair and had a leather belt around his waist His food was locusts and wild honey. At that time Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God can raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."

When she began to play piano at age 2, Ginny Owens' family knew God had something special in store for her. A year later, she lost her sight. Despite the darkness, Ginny flourished, and her faith kept her anchored through moments of bullying in middle school and setbacks in college as she pursued her dream of being a singer. Now a successful singer/songwriter, Ginny shares how she uses tools like The Jesus Storybook Bible to provide hope in seasons of darkness, and why learning to trust the God who loves us as a lifeline, even when we can't see the way forward.   Quotes “We're always singing some song in our heads, whether it has a tune or not. There's always something on repeat in our minds. And when the words on repeat in our minds become His words of truth and life and light, for me, it changes the way that I see everything.” —Ginny Owens “Over the different seasons of my life, I have definitely clung to those truths that no matter how difficult life is or no matter how challenging it can be because of something that we're going through, Jesus is always there.” —Ginny Owens “What gives me the most hope is knowing that I trust a God who is always here, always with me, who cares about the big and the small things, who has walked through darkness, who has walked through worse darkness than I will ever experience, and who did that for me and for you.” —Ginny Owens   Ginny's Links Ginny's Website Ginny's Facebook Ginny's Twitter Ginny's Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Dove Awards Sundance Film Festival Corrie ten Boom Belmont University Rocketown Records Michael W.

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, a degenerative eye condition left Ginny completely blind by the tender age of three. As her vision diminished, her love of music and the piano expanded, and Ginny discovered songwriting as a window into her unseen world. The unique perspectives inspired by her vision impairment have resulted in inspirational lyrics paired with her diverse musicianship to afford her a space on an even more diverse set of stages, including the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the White House, and recordings that transcend genre expectations. Owens' first book, Singing in the Dark, was released on May 1. Ginny Owens has been releasing thoughtfully crafted songs for over twenty years. Since her Rocketown Records debut, Without Condition, Owens has recorded more than ten albums, garnering critical success, chart-topping radio singles, and numerous film and television placements. She also gives us multiple writing prompts that use the music you're already listening to!

As we try to think through shifts in our careers or moving forward on our ambitions, nothing will debilitate us faster than focusing on the roadblocks or distractions. Our human nature will draw us to see things that just aren't there, or to miss the important pieces altogether. That's why I asked my dear friend, Ginny Owens, to shed some light on what it looks like to listen to another voice. Blind since age three, Ginny's unique approach to music and books on darkness, life, and faith has a way of helping us see more clearly so we can find hope in the midst of suffering. Here's what she's learned: "You don't always get to choose your circumstances, but you do get to choose the story your life tells." A multiple award-winning and critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter, Ginny Owens became a household name when she was named the Gospel Music Association's “New Artist of the Year” in 2000. In a meaningful career that now encompasses nearly two decades of music – including 10 full-length recordings, three EPs, a popular Christmas album, number one radio singles, and numerous film and television placements – Ginny's heartbeat behind the music remains the same – to inspire others through sharing her own story in song. Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, a degenerative eye condition left Ginny completely blind by the tender age of three. As her vision diminished, her love of music and the piano expanded, and Ginny discovered songwriting as a window into her unseen world. The unique perspectives inspired by her vision impairment have resulted in inspirational lyrics paired with her diverse musicianship to afford her a space on an even more diverse set of stages, including the Sundance Film Festival, Lilith Fair and the White House, and recordings that transcend genre expectations. In November 2016, Owens launched the Love Be the Loudest campaign, an initiative in which a portion of album sales are donated to increasing the work of already thriving non-profit organizations. A 3-time Dove Award winner, Ginny's songs have also been recorded by popular artists like Michael W. Smith, JJ Heller and Rachael Lampa, and the sought-after songstress was commissioned to write the song, “Fly Away,” for the 2017 film, Trafficked – a song that found itself among the song selections considered for the Academy Awards ballot for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture earlier this year. Ginny is also an author, co-authoring Transcending Mysteries, published by HarperCollins in 2015, and the multi-faceted performer also hosts a popular video blog entitled, “How I See It,” in which Owens helps viewers understand the ins-and-outs of living day-to-day life as a blind person. For more information on Ginny, or her philanthropic work with Love Be the Loudest, visit: GinnyOwens.com and LoveBeTheLoudest.com. Ginny's new book, "Singing in the Dark: Finding Hope in the Songs of Scripture" is now available.
