Sandi Patty is a true gift from God....such an amazing singer, but more importantly an amazing woman of God 🙏❤️🙏

I pray for the people that gave this a thumbs down. If you have experienced any of this, it is painful. If you have done, any of this, you may feel convicted. But, this is truth. It pains me, because of the past. But, the past is the past. But, out of our scars, people can be healed.

It is the brokeness that takes us to our knees....crying out for God, He comes in and starts growing us IN Him and Him IN us.

Grace is available to all of us! We don't have to run this race alone. Thank you God for Amazing Grace!

I am 48 and live in South Africa and just came across this. I just want to say thank you Sandi what a blessing u are! When I started my vocal training (many many years back) I only sang Sandi's song which had such a really special meaning to me. I am sure I have just about every CD/tape etc released. Keep blessing the way u do - Leigh xxx

Thank you for knowing that Sandi Patty is still with us and well. And we are waiting for the coming album project, aren't we?

I just saw this conversation... better late than never, right... and what a blessing. The same things happened to me, except I was the little girl who always played the piano and had to accompany the adults who were not so nice. My dad was amazing, tho. As the choir director at our church, he never hurt me, he always believed me... and believed in me... what a blessing to hear I am not the only one, and I am not alone. Thank you all for sharing so honestly... much love from your sister in Maine. Please be safe and blessed... 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Love this! Just love Sandi Patty! A couple of years ago, she sang at a tribute to my father, singing three of the songs he wrote, and we were so honored and blessed by it. ❤️. She is absolutely my favorite singer ever!

these conversations are all honest and deserves to be broadcast

That was soooo profound what Sandi said about blended families always starting with a loss of some sort. I was a child of divorced parents, then a blended family with a step-mother that rejected I went through a divorce myself but remarried happily into a blended family, we each having our own kids. It was tough!!! But thankfully we've weathered the storms, praise the Lord! But I never considered her premise - she is so correct!

at 38:33 Sandi says "once you speak it out, it no longer has hold on you." Those are such powerful words.

Oh hi Mark Lowrey....you are a fantastic personality, comedian, and singer. Your song you wrote " Mary, Did You is beautiful touches the heart and will be sung many decades from now if Jesus tarries in his return. If he does return Mark will be able to sing it to Mary himself in Heaven.
🙏🕊☦🕊🙏

Thanks for having Sandi. I have loved her singing and grew up hearing her and with the Gathers. Love you all

[christinatroyer]

The older I get the more I realize that we all have had heartbreak and the way we deal with it forms who we become. I am dealing with loss right now and heartbreak is real! But it helps a lot when others share what they are going through. None of us are perfect, and God has others to support and encourage when necessary. Thank you Jesus for caring that much about us! Also thank you, Mark and Andrew for being faithful in hosting this program.

Heck, I lived through Sandi’s trauma and was heartbroken for her and her kids.... I was upset and even a little angry, so I can’t begin to imagine what they went through as the security of their family was torn apart.

The first time I heard her sing, “We Shall Behold Him” I found myself standing during the final chorus with tears streaming down my face and not realizing I had gotten out of my seat. I thought, I must look like a complete idiot standing up here crying while everyone else is still sitting when I realized it. Then I looked around and saw everyone was standing and I’ve never before or since experienced such a thing unless I was the one singing. It was beautiful.

I went to her concerts every time she was in town and it was always amazing. Always! Then, shortly before the news broke, I went to a concert with Sandi and some other artists (but I was there for Sandi) and as soon as she sang the first few notes I knew something had changed and began to pray through the rest of the concert that God would help her to deal with whatever “it” was that I sensed. I’m glad to see that she is doing well.

Mark & Andrew I want to learn to “LISTEN WITH NOT ONLY MY EARS, BUT ALSO WITH MY both are masters of truly being present with your guest and you make it all about them and never about yourselves (of course you add the delightful gift of laughter with every interview and it is fresh air to the soul....THANK YOU ❤️). I so love your videos....I pray God continues to bless your platform and gives you both continued success 🙏❤️🙏

[redeemedbygodsgrace]

Mark and Andrew you two are absolutely a BLESSING to your YOU BOTH & GOD BLESS 🙏😂🙏

I thought of the daughter what a deep girl. Praise God she did find her answers, and healing for the deep pain. Many close up and never allow themselves to be vulnerable again. I know this from experience as many have said to me that they have never known anybody to go thru what I have in my life.
