CAIN at the Ryman: A Night of Worship, Wonder, and One
They say seeing a show at the Ryman Auditorium is a spiritual experience, and as someone who has spent decades in the entertainment industry, I’ve learned that phrase gets tossed around a lot. But this time, it wasn’t hype—it was real. My 11-year-old daughter, Kennady (aka Kenna), and I went to see CAIN with Jon Reddick at the Ryman in Nashville, and it was our very first time stepping into the “Mother Church.” I’d seen CAIN last year with my husband when they were performing at a church somewhere in Middle TN, and we were blown away. We left that night saying, “We should’ve brought Kenna.” So, this time, there…

It takes courage to be you. It takes courage to be strong when God and HIs Word lead you… When no one understands. When people misinterpret your actions. When God impresses something on your heart. When you let down your guard. It takes courage. To be fully an extrovert. To be entirely an introvert. To take the time to indulge in a hobby. To speak up. To stay quiet. It takes courage. To see the things others cannot. To see what others can see. To encourage others even to the point of seeming like you care too much. To stand strong in God’s calling even if it seems like you…
