My Hope Radio: In three or four sentences, how would you describe your journey of faith?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karen Harding: I received the Holy Ghost at age five. I cut my teeth on powerful, anointed singing. It is a walk of faith. We have to trust God in the good times and the bad. I do know this\u2026God does NOT fail. I KNOW my Redeemer lives!!<\/p>\n

MHR: What is your favorite Scripture in the Bible?<\/strong><\/p>\n

KH: Proverbs 3:5-6, \u201cTrust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.\u201d<\/p>\n

MHR: What is your music background? ( who influenced you, when did you start singing, etc\u2026.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

KH: I started singing when I was two years old. I would stand on a chair behind the pulpit. I\u2019ve been singing as long as I can remember. Everyone in my family sings and plays instruments. It was always, and still is, a HUGE part of our lives.<\/p>\n

MHR: What specific themes do you cover in your songs? Why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

KH: I like songs with a message. Hold on to Faith, Don\u2019t give up and so on. Songs of encouragement. Also songs with eternal truths like, \u201cThe Blood\u201d, \u201cThe Cross\u201d, \u201cJesus Name\u201d. I don\u2019t like to sing \u201cbubblegum\u201d songs. People will come to a concert or to hear someone sing more easily than they would to hear someone preach. That is why every song must minister. We preach mini-sermons in our songs. A song will open the heart to receive God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

MHR: Do you write your own songs? (If so, discuss your usual songwriting process.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

KH: Yes, I write. I sing my songs and other writers songs. I like to co-write too. I just wrote a song about the Blood of Jesus with Jeff Ferguson. I will get an idea and a tune will come to me, or, I will get a tune and the words later. Lots of times I will hear a sermon, or see a sign, or be reading the Word, and it will hit me\u2026.that would be a great song. I usually get the chorus first.<\/p>\n
