Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 444: Becca Jordan<br/><br/>My guest this week on Voices in my Head is singer and songwriter, Becca Jordan. Her new album, Becoming Ordinary, Debuted last month to great acclaim and she&#8217;s here to speak with me about it this week. <br/><br/>&#8212;Rick Lee James<br/><br/>Becca Jordan In Her Own Words: <br/><br/>I'm a wandering songbird. I earned my B.A. in Communications from University in Alabama-Huntsville. It was during college doing all that writing that I started dabbling in songwriting.&#160; I recorded my first EP, Love Shows Up, in 2012 with Robbie Seay producing.<br/><br/>I moved to Nashville in 2015, worked at a non-profit, started singing in church and absorbing the creative community through concerts and coffee dates with fellow creatives. I traveled to L&#8217;Abri in England in the fall of 2016, where I soaked up the reality that the Lord is Lord over all things, stuff like cooking and washing dishes, not just mysterious creative processes like songwriting. I came back to Nashville to plant some roots and started working with the elderly. &#160;(Not on purpose, really, but because God has a sense of humor. I needed to learn some things I could only learn with them.) So I spent four years learning and observing the goodness of God in what felt like a quiet corner with folks that taught me what it meant to place my whole life before God as an offering. This is what my record, Becoming Ordinary, is about&#8212; leaving behind all the illusions of what I thought my life would be, and picking up what it is&#8212; mundane, sometimes deeply lonely, sometimes fraught with joy, and mostly just very ordinary&#8212; and giving it to God.&#160;<br/><br/>Becca Jordan on Spotify: <br/><br/>Becca Jordan&#8217;s Web Site: <br/><br/><a href="https://www.beccajordanmusic.com/">https://www.beccajordanmusic.com/</a><br/><br/>A message from the road&#8230;literally.<br/><br/>Rick Lee James is now also recording live podcasts via the Wisdom App - join me there an
