Excerpt from krushbyjai.com
Jai became more passionate about making her own products when her mother, Vinnette, was diagnosed with cancer for the third time. While undergoing treatment from age 40 to her 60s, she noticed with every session of chemotherapy and radiation, her skin became even drier.
But by the grace of God, homemade body butters were close at hand! After a few short weeks of continued use, her Mum began receiving compliments on her skin from the Doctors to the Nurses, in addition to, family and friends after every visit for treatment. Though her Mum lost the battle to a rare form of cancer in February 2016, the desire to help others with their skin care needs lived on…Ashea!

GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING ARTIST BRANDON LAKE  RELEASES HIS LATEST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, HELP!

5/2/2022

Comments

 

SOURCE:  CR8

​GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and songwriter Brandon Lake releases his latest full-length album, HELP!, on May 13th, 2022.
This timely collection of songs depicts Lake’s heart cry in the battle against depression, anxiety, loneliness, and other mental health struggles—acting as a declarative prayer amidst the processing of his personal emotions.
Available now, is the EP's lead single, "HELP."

New Single “HELP!” Available Now

​HELP features the voices of JUDAH, Chandler Moore, Amanda Cook, and his sons Blaise and Beau, this album is infused with the healing honey of raw honesty and authenticity—while serving as a resounding “me too” in response to anyone who is wrestling with thoughts that are not from God. Juxtaposing roars of declaration with songs that invite the heart into intimate worship, one of the messages carried out by this album is that perspective is everything. Whatever the devil meant for bad can be redeemed by the Lord for good. At a time when mental health is at an all-time low, Lake’s desire is to remind others that they’re not alone in their battles. There’s freedom and power behind the word, “help.”
