That’s Who I Am (Part One of Four)

“After Esther and I went through the Freedom Courses I woke up in the middle of the night and started reading God’s Word. God shared with me that I needed to keep myself away from idols. I went into my studio and gathered up all my music awards and threw them in the trash. I had struggled for years with believing the lie that I had to perform to gain approval. Unbeknownst to Esther and I, we both had the same idea about putting the “Who Am I” segment to music so that we could meditate on it by singing it. So about 3 days later of us both having the same thought, I was sitting down at the piano with the book and composing some music for it when Esther walked into the studio and told me that she’d been wanting to do the same thing, so she got on the mic while I played keys and I pressed record and the music simultaneously spilled out of both of us. Afterwards, we realized that many other people might want to meditate on these truths in God’s Word using this song too. And that’s how this all got started. The song has made a huge impact on us. We are now singing God’s truths at all hours of the day and night and it’s a constant source of inspiration.” – Wayne Tester
