From Honest Prayers to Still Waters

Leanna Crawford joins Jonathan Unthank to share how honesty with God has shaped her life, her music, and her marriage.

From writing her song Honest during a season of anxiety and depression, to discovering God’s kindness in unexpected ways, Leanna reminds us that Jesus meets us right where we are. She opens up about how marriage has taught her more about grace, why rest is so vital, and how hope is always available in Christ—even when life feels confusing or overwhelming.

3 Key Takeaways

1. God can handle our honesty. Leanna encourages us to bring our raw, unfiltered prayers to Him, trusting His grace meets us right where we are.
2. Hope is found in His presence. Even in seasons of anxiety, confusion, or chaos, God’s kindness and faithfulness remain steady.
3. Rest is biblical. Leanna challenges us to slow down, embrace Sabbath rhythms, and remember that God built us to rest, not run on fumes.
