Grant will share stories from the stage this spring when she headlines a tour with Monk & Neagle and Jimmy Needham. She’ll also continue speaking to scores of countless women and teenage girls at Women of Faith and Revolve events across the country throughout 2008. She speaks candidly when asked about her involvement with teenagers at the Revolve conferences: “Honestly, I never felt specifically ‘called’ to work with teenagers. In fact, teens scare me! But once I took on the challenge of speaking and singing at the ‘Revolve Tour,’ God put a passion in me to minister to teen girls. I am humbled by the fact that they view me as a role model, and I take that responsibility very seriously.”
And why shouldn’t she? After all, she has two good reasons to not regard her platform lightly—her twin baby girls, Grace and Isabella. “Having daughters makes me more determined to impact this culture of girls for Christ,” says Natalie. “I need some of these teen girls to grow up and be role models for my girls to look to.”
A successful music career, a new record, twins…one might wonder how Natalie finds time to do work on behalf of The Home Foundation. Simply put, it’s an innate part of who she is now, and her passion is fueled by educating others about something that has so profoundly changed her own life. “Knowledge is power. Research the subject of human trafficking. I am not the hero, but those who are on the front lines of this fight are; and there are many worthy organizations that can use volunteers. You can also sign up to become an abolitionist. Above all, pray. Pray for the victims and pray for their freedom.”
