Please welcome Grammy Award Winning, gospel artist, Naomi Raine to the couch! In this episode we talk about the importance of women in ministry, cultural and racial diversity in worship, and what is potentially missing in the Church of Jesus Christ today.
Special thanks to my guest @TheNaomiRaine . Born and raised in New York, Naomi carried the torch passed down by her parents to spread the gospel through song. Standing on the word spoken over her parents that “their seed would bless the earth,” Naomi Raine has traveled to countless places sharing the message of Jesus Christ to thousands of people.
Whether songwriting, singing, or playing the guitar, Naomi has always found it easiest to communicate to people through lyrics and melodies. Her desire to see the body of Christ united and empowered fuels her drive to make music that inspires others to worship God. This is evident in her first viral single, “Pour Me Out,” which gave language to a young audience desiring to live a surrendered life. Since then, Naomi has kept this message relevant through every project, including her most recent recording, “Back to Eden” - parts 1 and 2. Naomi has been featured on countless projects with some of the most acclaimed artists in Christian music – and has been

Together, they have touched generations of people and have been widely recognized as artists who are leading the masses to the heart of God. As a part of Maverick City Music, Naomi has earned multiple awards including, Billboard Music Awards, Dove Awards, Stellar Awards, and a Grammy award. She is featured on songs such as “Story I’ll Tell,” and the award-nominated “Jireh,” and “Promises.” Naomi had the pleasure of making her film debut in “Christmas with The Chosen” with Maverick City Music.
