The Heart of a Singer - Opera Singer, Christian Musician, Make Music, Spiritual Growth, Prophetic Song
Welcome to The Heart of a Singer Podcast. I’m Sarah Toth, Heart Coach, mom of 2, trained opera singer, and passionate lover of Jesus. This podcast is a home for Christian women who have trained and worked in singing, opera, and musical theater; but maybe you’ve found yourself in a place of unrest, bottled-up emotions, and even feeling far from God. But through the hurt of your circumstances, you might be feeling an invitation from the Lord - to learn to hear his voice more clearly and to open up yours in a new way. It’s time to move out of your desert season, musically, spiritually, and emotionally so that you can move forward in a healthy way and step out into the next chapter that God has for you. So I invite you to open up your journal, grab your favorite pen, and then join me, as we move from Stuck to Thriving, while unlocking your heart again to beat for His Kingdom Purposes.

In today's episode, I want to share with you more about the vision that I feel like the Lord has given me over many years for the performing arts when partnered with Him. Especially for opera and for singing.
Vision for opera companies and singers when surrendered and led by Holy Spirit
Vision for a coming Renaissance on the earth - a renewal of the arts, and innovation, and creativity.
And much more!
I believe that God wants to ignite something in the hearts of His singers! He is calling YOU to be a part of what he wants to do on earth as it is in Heaven!
Does this sound like something you’re longing for too?
Let’s keep talking.

Are you a busy mom who has no time to sing, and you feel like you struggle to find time to connect with God? But maybe you feel a tug deep down inside of you to start singing again and to worship the Lord with your voice. I invite you on a journey of saying YES to the Lord, even if it feels scary and inconvenient! He is waiting to spark something alive in you again. But here’s where we start. We start small. We start by saying yes, and opening up our mouths to sing again - right in the middle of real life. Let’s go!

I love the moment when God speaks to us, and deposits a promise into our lives. This might be a promise directly from the Bible, or through a prophetic word spoken from another believer who is listening in to the heart of God.
Do we have any responsibility to help see this promise come to fruition? Mary’s response in Luke, Chapter 1 teaches us about agreeing with God's promise, and aligning ourselves with the testimony of others who have walked a similar journey!

Do you feel like there’s something in your life that feels out of your hands? Do you feel like your circumstances are not what you would wish, but you know you can’t do anything to change it? I have felt that way too recently, in several areas of my life. And the Lord has showed me time and again the road to His peace. In today’s episode, we will unpack 3 tools for processing our circumstances and re-orienting our heart around God’s perspective. 1. Journaling 2. Worshiping 3. Re-orient around the Word.
Scriptures mentioned:
John 3:16Ephesians 1:18-23, The Passion Translation
WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS
1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!What wondrous love is this, O my soul!What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of blissto bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!2. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down,when I was sinking down, sinking down,when I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown,Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.3. To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing;to God and to the Lamb I will sing;to God and to the Lamb, who is the great I AMwhile millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,while millions join the theme, I will sing.4. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on,and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on.And when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be,and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on,and through eternity I'll sing on.

Do you find that you are accidentally holding your breath throughout the day? Do you find yourself loosing your singing or speaking voice sometimes, or have less power than you used to? Your unintentional shallow breathing might be causing the diaphragm’s path to be shortened, and your pressure system and support system not working as it should. I explore some reasons that we unintentionally hold our breath throughout the day and what we can do about! When you get your diaphragm and pelvic floor working together better, it will result in more power and longevity for your voice!

Do you have a problem or circumstance that seems like its at an impasse? Solve your problem by changing the question! I call this "Victory Through Redefinition." I'll teach you how to examine both the question and the potential answer to challenge the "should be's" or the way things usually are. As an example, let's take a look at the challenge you may have of finding time to spend with the Lord. We examine how what you're actually looking for is communion with the Lord, and how it can be found in many different "out-of-the-box" ways. Let's dig in!
