When Hope Darst introduces a new song as part of her church, she can gauge how the song is impacting and how people connect with it. When Hope released her debut solo album in 2020, not only was she stepping out in faith in becoming a solo artist, she released the songs in a period where she couldn't be in the room to see the connection. As she is starting to get out on the road, she's discovering what she was missing as she hears people singing her songs and sharing stories about how her songs have impacted people across the country.   Hope also shares about writing for her church, The Belonging Co. She shares about the heart of why the church pursues excellence in creativity.
