Have you ever had a moment where you felt like God was nudging you in a direction you never expected? That’s exactly what happened to Emerson Day. She was on track for a dream career in federal law enforcement—she even got the job offer. But something deep inside wouldn’t let her say yes. Instead, she walked away from everything she thought she wanted… and into a future she never saw coming.
We’ll hear how she spent years grinding it out in music without knowing where it was leading, how God kept stirring something in her heart, and how a quiet moment on a church stage finally made everything click. If you’ve ever struggled with waiting on God or wondered if you’re hearing Him clearly, Emerson’s journey will hit home.
Emerson Day is a new voice in Christian music, but her heart for worship and storytelling makes her one to watch. Her music isn’t just about catchy melodies—it’s about meeting people where they are and reminding them that God is always leading, even when we can’t see it.
