This episode features an inspiring conversation with Jasmine Brady, a worship leader, artist, and songwriter from Regeneration Nashville. Jasmine brings a profound message rooted in the biblical story of King Jehoshaphat from 2 Chronicles 20, highlighting the transformative power of seeking God in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Jasmine's Heritage and Ministry
Jasmine Brady's rich musical heritage includes her great aunt and uncle, Howard and Vestal Goodman of the Happy Goodmans, her grandparents, the Hemphills, and her mother, Candy Christmas.

Lessons from 2 Chronicles 20
The heart of Jasmine's message centers on 2 Chronicles 20, where King Jehoshaphat faces a formidable coalition of enemies. Jasmine draws parallels between Jehoshaphat's resolve to seek the Lord and our own need to turn to God in times of crisis. She emphasizes the significance of Jehoshaphat's prayer and his declaration,
"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you."
A Call to Prayer and Praise

She encourages listeners to cultivate a habit of prayer and to find solace in the stillness where God's voice can be heard. Drawing from her own experiences, Jasmine underscores that victory in life's battles often comes through unwavering faith and persistent prayer.
Victory Through Worship
One of the most striking aspects of Jasmine's message is the role of worship in spiritual warfare. She recounts how Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead the army, singing praises to God. This act of worship led to a miraculous victory, illustrating that praise can change the atmosphere and bring about divine intervention.
Personal Testimony
Jasmine shares a personal testimony from the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with her husband's job loss and financial uncertainty, Jasmine chose to trust in God's provision. Her story is a powerful reminder that God's faithfulness transcends our circumstances and that He is always working for our good, even when we cannot see it.
The episode concludes with Jasmine’s song, "Thank You." This heartfelt song of gratitude encapsulates the essence of Jasmine's message – a life anchored in thankfulness and trust in God's unwavering faithfulness.
In this episode of "The Walk Podcast," Jasmine Brady's insights and testimonies offer profound encouragement to listeners facing their own battles. Her emphasis on prayer, worship, and seeking God serves as a timeless reminder that, like Jehoshaphat, we too can find victory through our faith in God.
