Revolve

I have met many of you on The Revolve Tour. I was a part of the very first one that Women Of Faith launched in 2005. An incredible event for teenage girls 7th-12th grade, it was my privilege to be a part of it for the past 4 years. I know that many of you are aware, but I’m touring with Jeremy Camp this fall instead of with The Revolve Tour. I continue to get questions everyday as to why, so i thought I would address it on my blog.

Let me start by saying this: GO. Whether you are a teen girl, a mom of a teen girl or a friend of one, do not let them miss this life-changing event. Okay, so why won’t I be there this year? This was such a difficult decision for me. To be truthful, I feel it’s going to be super beneficial for Revolve to get some fresh faces this year and allow the attendees the opportunity to make new friends. As much as it has been a career highlight for me, I felt like it was also necessary to allow some young women in Christian music and ministry the opportunity to have that platform. I’m so excited that Britt Nicole has joined the tour this year. If you don’t know her yet, you will love her music. But even more than that, you will adore her heart. It is very obvious that Britt is in love with Jesus and I think it is imperative for this generation of young women to continue to discover new, positive role models.

I will be cheering louder than ever, just from a different place. I can’t stress enough how important this event is. This generation is desperate for something real. And that’s exactly what they will see: a real faith in a real God that will bring the significance and love they are searching for. And when we impact this generation, we will change the generations to come.

I’m excited for the ways I will continue to be involved with Women of Faith in the future. And I am so grateful to them for providing an event that will affect the environment and culture in which my daughters will grow up in. Don’t miss The Revolve Tour.

Serving Together,

Natalie

    Natatlie, I have never been to a WOF conference and have heard your name mentioned among christian music field. Never really knew much about you until one day when this “ROCKIN” song came on the radio and I just had to find out who it was. That song was “I will not be moved” Thank you for that song and keep singing about that Faith that can sustain us and hold us strong!! God bless ya as ya sing for the REASON WHY WE SING!!!

    Natalie,
    I was talking to one of my friends Laura Elizabeth from Texas recently who works with the Revolve and I told her how different it would be without you on the Revolve Tour. I think its hard making decisions that would glorify God either way. If you chose to stay you would be blessed, and so would others and Jesus name would still be made famous! As well as you walking away and allowing Britt to step in, again Jesus name will be made famous. I remembered years ago when I sat nose bleed section and heard you tell your story and you began to sing the real me and it was in that moment I embraced a life long struggle and knew I had to begin a process of healing and telling my story. I appreciate your realness your passion for living and your desire to follow God no matter what! I look forward to seeing the louder than words tour! I am hoping its coming this way:) NC/SC?? Thanks for believing in the UNBOUND Girls and your encouragement! You are our favorite hands down:) We love you and continue being you!

    Aww. I noticed from the Revolve site a while ago that you weren’t on the list, and thought maybe they were adding you later for some reason. My best friend and I go every year (since ’06) , that’s how I became a fan of yours. I look forward to it every year and it won’t be the same without you, you’ve become one of my favorite singers and it was always a priviledge to see you live. No doubt, it will still be an amazing experience, but I will miss you.

  • Irene Schofield

    I’m so excited for you that God is using your voice and talent in so many areas. We really missed you this year in Dallas at Women of Faith! I’m glad to read that you will be back (soon? like next year?) at Women of Faith and hope we are blessed with another afternoon “concert”. Best wishes to you and your family.

    In the same way that we grow as believers, ministries grow as well. Your growth, the growth of revolve, and the growth of WOF, are all a testament to what the Lord is doing amongst the body of believers. The fact that He has given you a passion for another ministry, while moving the heart of another believer to join revolve, shows the very way in which He works throughout the body to accomplish His plan. At the same time He may be moving amongst the hearts of hundreds of young people who can be reached through Brit Nicole’s testimony, the same way He moved in the hearts of hundreds of young people to be moved by yours the past 4 years. What the Lord orchestrates that He allows us to be a part of is is simply astounding! I will continue to pray for you and your ministry as the Lord uses the gifts he has given you for His amazing purposes wherever He places you.

    It was a blessing to chauffeur you around town, last Saturday. May God bless you with an even greater measure of faith, new songs that bring Him glory, and a continued boldness to deliver His message of hope.

    This is my 3rd year to take a group to the Revolve Tour. I will really miss you next week when we go to CA for the Revolve Tour. Some of the girls have asked about if you were going to be there. So you will be missed by them too. I have been a fan of yours since your first song came out but I have known you since you were in elementary (watched you play softball, hehe). I attended Westgate Chapel for about 15 years so I also know your siblings. I hope that you are having a blast touring with Jeremy Camp!

  • Lauren Dennis

    :) I went to the Love Revolution tour that you had with Britt. I don’t know if that was what you were talking about but I just want to let you know that that was the first time I had ever heard you speak and you changed my life. Thank you for coming and I greatly appreciated it. I adore your passion that you have for Christ. <3
