Reaching people like me w/ Ricky Vazquez
On this episode of MAX Music, recording artist and worship leader Ricky Vazquez performs two original songs, “Runaway” and “All Is Not Lost.” He shares his journey of faith - from starting to sing at church for the attention of a girl to bilingually leading worship nationwide. Ricky talks about how we all sometimes feel like a "runaway" when it comes to God and how, when tragedy hits in the darkest ways, hope in God is not completely lost.
Sharing about his song “Runaway,” Ricky explains how he was constantly running back and forth from going to church and not. As he grew up, he saw that the times that he felt the most distant from God is when God was the closest to him. No matter how often he fell away, God was always consistent.
Leaning on God’s faithfulness has been a big part of Ricky’s songwriting and ministry as a Christian musician. When his community was facing an unimaginable tragedy, he found himself pouring his feelings into a new song which became “All Is Not Lost.” It is a powerful reminder that God promised to be with us in our suffering and that even in the darkest of dark, God can meet us there.
