While there is only one Anne Wilson, the former lead singer of the secular group Heart, my former students at Red Lion introduced to a Christian girl band. Although I didn’t embrace every artist encouraged for me listen to, I soon began to collect ZOEgirl albums. My favorite album is the Ultimate Collection which is a two CD set. Since I wasn’t able to find this on You Tube, my second choice was Different Kind of Free which is attached above.
In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off], Galatians 5:1.
Since my parents loved to travel each summer, I found myself listening to soft rock stations along with Casey Kasem’s America’s Top 40 until we arrived. This is where I was introduced to many songs from Heart. After rededicating my life to the Lord in college, I longed to find a crossover group with a similar sound to Heart. There may be a better match out there, but for now ZOEgirl has filled my spiritual void for a Heart like Christian band. I hope you enjoy listening this week.
