”My Redeemer Lives,” the Story Behind One of Christianity’s Most Famous Songs

If you’ve been a Christian for a while you probably know every word to Nicole C. Mullen’s award-winning song, “Redeemer.” But what you might not know is the heartbreak the singer-songwriter had to walk through to write those famous lyrics. On this special episode of Unapologetic, Julia sits down with Nicole and invites her to share her testimony—from suffering through abusive relationships to winning 9 Dove awards, and everything in between.

Together Nicole and Julia talk about why Christians should stop apologizing for being pro-life, handling unexpected pregnancy God’s way, and the importance of altar calls. Nicole also vulnerably shares some of the darkest parts of her story, plus leaves Julia speechless and in tears as she sings pieces of her biggest songs. Their conversation wraps up with Julia inviting Nicole to close the episode in prayer. God was truly present all throughout this episode and it’s one you’re for sure not going to want to miss!
