Episode 5: Durell Comedy
My guest for episode 5 of the Creative Impact Podcast is Durell Comedy. Durell was a professional dancer with the Limon Company and Mark Morris Dance Group in NYC for close to 11 years. Recently he, his wife, Hannah and 2 daughters, moved to Charlotte, NC. He currently serves as a Worship Leader for The LIFT, a church based in Indian Trail, North Carolina.
I came out of my conversation with Durell so inspired and encouraged, and I know you will too! Durell shares about key moments in his journey and hearing God’s voice. At a moment where he felt like quitting, God opened a door. We talk about going through rejection and seasons that feel like we’re walking through the wilderness. Durell encourages us not to hold so tightly to one idea of the “plan” for our lives that we miss what God is doing in front of us.
We also talk about the current challenges we are facing with the pandemic and the racial injustice that can feel so overwhelming and hopeless. I love how Durell explains, “my eyes can’t look horizontally for hope”. Durell is passionate about helping to create an environment where people can experience the presence of God and truly be changed.
