๐ŸŽ™ Dissonance

๐Ÿ‘ฃ 

๐ŸŒต Picture this: you're walking through a vast, dry desert, sun scorching your back, lips cracked, feet aching with every step. But you keep going. Why? Because on the horizon, you think you see it: approval, notoriety, love, fulfillment. You’re desperate for a drop of something real. But what if all those mirages are just that mirages?

๐ŸŽถ The musical artist Plumb once wrote:

"There’s a God-shaped hole in all of us,
And the restless soul is searching.
There’s a God-shaped hole in all of us,
And it’s a void only He can fill."

That’s the ache of dissonance the tension between what we chase and what we truly need. ๐Ÿ’”โœจ

Today’s guest, Billy Byrd Sr., knows that desert well. ๐Ÿœ At 19, he found himself in federal prison, chasing things that never truly filled him. 

In the silence, the dissonance of his life, the clash between who he was and who he was created to be, became impossible to ignore. ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ™

What emerged wasn’t just a man with a microphone, but an artist and pastor whose music and message now echo with redemption, purpose, and praise. ๐ŸŽตโ›ช๏ธ

From early rhythms in R&B to a soul deeply rooted in worship, Billy’s upcoming album “I Trust You” is more than music; it’s a testimony. His life, once marked by chaos, now sings a new song: one of faith, healing, and divine harmony. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ”ฅ
