Singer and songwriter Robbie Love from Los Angeles joins Lin. Woods for an inspiring conversation about faith, family, discovering your gift, and having the courage to release it to the world.

Robbie shares what it was like growing up in a home with her mother, recording artist Mary Love, a deeply spiritual woman of faith whose influence helped shape Robbie’s life and music.

But Robbie’s journey to becoming an artist wasn’t always obvious. She opens up about being very shy, discovering her voice, and learning to recognize that the gift inside of her was something she was meant to share with the world.

In this powerful conversation, Robbie and Lin. Woods talk about:

• The definition of LOVE and what it means beyond a word
• Growing up with a recording artist mother and woman of faith
• How being shy once kept Robbie from fully expressing herself
• Recognizing your gift and releasing it to the world
• The story behind Robbie’s music
• Why you must BELIEVE IN YOUR GIFT
• Going from a computer science techie to an artist
• Faith, purpose and following the path God has placed before you
• What happens when you stop hiding your gift and start sharing it

Robbie Love’s story is a reminder that sometimes the gift you are carrying has been there all along—you simply have to believe in it, nurture it and have the courage to release it.

This week, on the Lin. Woods Gospel Entertainment Podcast, we welcome Danton Whitley, Sr. — gospel recording artist, college professor at Howard University, vocal coach, producer, and a man whose journey is rooted deeply in faith.

Danton shares his powerful backstory of growing up as a preacher’s kid in Maryland and how his early experiences shaped the artist, producer, educator, and vocal coach he is today. He opens up about his love for Gospel music, his calling, his creative journey, and his thoughts on the state of Gospel music today.

But this conversation goes much deeper.

Danton shares a deeply personal testimony about one of the lowest points in his life — when his twin sister was seriously injured in a car accident and fell into a coma. When doctors had given up hope, Danton and his family were faced with a situation that tested their faith and challenged them to believe beyond what they could see.

This is a conversation about faith, family, purpose, music, perseverance, and believing in God even when the situation looks impossible.

This September, the Lin. Woods Gospel Entertainment Podcast – “Where We Talk To Inspire” remembers the late Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson, the beloved Gospel Quartet artist whose sudden passing on September 30, 2022, at the age of 50, left the gospel music community, his family, and fans around the world heartbroken.

In tribute to his life and legacy, I’m pulling an unforgettable conversation from the podcast vault my 2020 interview with Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson.

In this special Rewind & Tribute Episode, Keith takes us on a journey through his life and career in gospel music. He shares the story behind his then-latest song, “Try Jesus,” reveals how a chance encounter at White Castle helped lead to his first record deal, talks about his childhood dream of becoming a basketball star, and reflects on his unexpected journey from working on Wall Street to becoming a celebrated Gospel Quartet artist.

Keith was more than a gifted singer and musician. He was a father, son, songwriter, label owner, entrepreneur, and man of faith who touched the lives of many through his music and testimony.

Join me as we remember Keith and allow his own words, music, and testimony to inspire us once again.
