Holy Hearts, Not Holy Hideouts with Candy Coburn
Manage episode 488312198 series 3376246
Candy Coburn returns to Sidewalk Conversations to explore the tension between isolation and integration as Christians seek to authentically represent Christ in the world. Her journey as both a worship leader and bar performer offers powerful insights into maintaining spiritual authenticity while engaging with secular culture.
• The false dichotomy between isolation from culture versus integration with culture
• How holiness refers to heart separation rather than physical distance from the world
• Candy's dual ministry leading worship at "the Barn" while performing in bars and clubs
• Managing sobriety (10+ years) while performing in venues where alcohol flows freely
• Approaching every performance with prayer and the intention to be a "funnel of God's love"
• The liberating nature of sharing our messy stories and overcoming shame
• Finding your unique voice and calling without trying to be someone else
• The importance of taking time to heal from past mistakes before jumping back into ministry
• Excitement for creative, boundary-crossing ministry happening in Austin
