Bridge The Gap - A custom song written as a tribute to teachers
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to do an hour-long keynote concert for "Educate & Rejuvenate," a conference for teachers sponsored by Wife Teacher Mommy. I shared 3 songs during my keynote, but I was also commissioned to write and record a song specifically for the conference as well as direct a music video. The Aspire Children's Chorus and a few extra children and adult actors I know, did a fabulous job at getting the message across that I hoped to share!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the church's regular Temple Square Concert Series was cancelled and groups could submit performances to be included in the concert series.

This concert will only be streamed at the appointed time and...
