“I honestly don’t know how people do life without Jesus”
Oh😭

I remember Taya from High School, I was 2 years below her but she always ran and encouraged us to go to the Christian Group meetings with our High School Chaplain Sipey. It was so much fun! The last thing I remember her doing was throwing an XO Day where we all helped set-up she was on the worship band and got our youth church band from CLC to sing praise and worship on the old courts. It was amazing and sooo many people from school that day actually started asking questions and wanted to get involved. When I first saw her lead worship at Hillsong I was like, she definitely always had a this calling! Super blessed to have known her back before this all started and she has not changed one bit. 100% Genuine!

My life Changed because of Hillsong.., I was sinking deep in hurt and lost everything in my life and ended up in prison. My first night I turned on the TV and taya Smith was singing shadow step..the part of the song that says"keep your eyes on the unexpectef" hit me and at that moment zi went from skin head to watching hillsong every Friday and Sunday for two and a half years not missing one hillsong worship. I became the yard rep. And the pastor of the church. Everytime I heard shadow step my life would change. I ended up a fire fighter and moved to the fire dept. Got 3 years knocked off and there was God..I was in his shadow and there was the unexpected..I got out 04/06/20 and have given my testimony to many and plan to see hillsong in San Diego in aug..thank you for saving me Taya. And my lord jesus

Great thing about a Christian concert vs a regular concert is that there’s no yelling or screaming except for God’s people worshiping and singing to him and it’s so peaceful and So beautiful.

I’ve always adored Tayas heart and her presence. Thank you God for allowing her to help me worship You and be in Your presence. ❤️💕

When I started listening to hillsong, watching Taya move the congregation with that angelic holy spirit filled voice of hers, I couldn't help but go on my knees. And I asked God one thing, 'Dear God, I'm not good enough, not even close, but please use me'. And every time I hear her worship, I say the same prayer. You are a blessing Taya. God is using and will continue to use you. You have saved many, healed many wounded souls and motivated many people like me. God did answer you. Stay blessed.

I went to church with Taya's Mum and Dad, they both shone with the love of Jesus and I remember her Mum singing and worshipping, she was so pretty as well. Wonderful memories and Taya carries a generational blessing and anointing, I was so blessed when her Mum told me that Taya was her grown daughter and how God could use her heart which was so humble.

King David was just a country boy and look where God put him.

[nikkismith]

I remember this one line had me crying when I first heard her say this a few years ago. “Who am I to lead these people? I’m just a country girl!” The most humbling statement I’ve ever heard! Thank God he chose her to lead us with her music. God Bless her!
