We're delighted to be joined by songwriter and worship leader, Sharon Byrd (Kingsway Worship) as guest host for this episode.  And, on today's episode, we share an interview from our Writing Club with Jaime Jamgochian. Sitting down to talk with Jaime, you quickly realize she is a woman of faith who God is using in many different ways through her music and message. It’s immediately evident she has a passion to see people know how much God loves them and a desire to see that reality change their lives—because it has changed hers. Jaime came to know the Lord at 21 while studying music at Berklee College of Music in Boston. God completely changed her life and it is her greatest desire to see people encounter Jesus in a real way. From Boston, Jaime ended up in Seattle where she was a worship leader for several years and began writing her own worship songs. It was during that time in Seattle that Jaime signed with Centricity Records and went on to record 3 albums with them. She then moved to Nashville, TN
