Often an artist’s strengths inspire
their best work. But for acclaimed contemporary Christian singer Mandisa, it’s
her very human flaws and frailties that gave birth to her stellar third album, What If We Were Real. The
two-time GRAMMY ® nominee knows that nobody is perfect—and she wants her fans
to realize that, too. “A lot of people think we as Christians
have to put our masks on and pretend that everything is great. But I was really
amazed at the responses I’d get when I’d Tweet that I was struggling, or needed
prayer with something, or having a bad day,” she explains. “People said, ‘I’m
glad to know I’m not the only one.’ Or ‘I need prayer for that too.’ It
surprised me that people thought I had it all together. The truth of the matter
is I have bad days too and am still learning to bring that to the Lord and let
Him lift my burden.”
