Episode 32: Recording Artist and Songwriter Mandie Pinto Talks About Body Image, Worship Leading, and Singing The National Anthem

Music for The Soul Podcast

Hearing a moving song allows for us to feel so much emotion that can be difficult to express otherwise. In the struggles and trials we face in life, music and song have a way of helping us move through those emotions. Hearing someone sing can open the door to us finding restoration and hope.

That is why we are so grateful to have recording artist and songwriter, Mandie Pinto, on today's episode of The Music for the Soul Podcast. Mandie shares her experiences of recording and songwriting from leading worship in churches around California to singing the Nation Anthem in Dodger Stadium and more.

Mandy also talks about her song in the Tell Me What You See album, which works to provide hope for young girls and women overcoming an eating disorder or questioning their body image. She explains how songs like In The Image of God allow young women to see their worth and beauty in God's eyes, and also how parents can use that as a tool to help show their daughters that they matter.
