MEET OUR YOUNG LEADERS

A STRUGGLING SONGWRITER Meet Jorden Anderson, June 2023 Cohort

Before Generation Distinct, knew what I felt God was calling me to do but didn’t know where to start my niche is songwriting and I’ve experienced consistent writer’s block for almost two years. It was an endless cycle of spontaneous creative moments that never went anywhere. I’d get halfway through a song and start a new one because ideas would just stop coming. This past June, I joined a Generation Distinct cohort and quickly realized this is where I needed to be within weeks of joining the program. I understood why I was experiencing this chronic creative block. I was placing my identity within my gifts and not the creator who gave me these gifts to glorify him. Generation distinct, helped me overcome my desire to build a platform with my own hands. It helped me overcome comparison with other believers and lastly helped me grow in deeper relationship with Jesus. Since finishing the June 2023 cohort of generation Distinct. I finished seven songs and have released one recently on all streaming platforms. I’m now spreading the gospel through music and walking out the Great Commission. Generation Distinct forever changed my life radically and I’m extremely grateful for Hannah, Aaron, and the Gen D team for the endless resources, curriculum and community they’ve cultivated and shared with me. I’m Jorden Anderson and I discovered the wrong I was born to make right.
