What a beautiful interview!
Gwen Stefani, a Grammy award-winning singer and co-founder of the rock group “No Doubt,” sat down with Catholic Biblical scholar Jeff Cavins for an in-depth interview about her Catholic faith.
Hosted by the Hallow App and conducted inside a beautiful Catholic Church, Stefani shared multiple factors that impact her faith life, including motherhood, her talents, and reflecting the light of Christ through her work and personal life.
While Stefani covered many topics, including her upbringing as a Catholic and her faith journey, she stressed her desire to be the light of Christ to others. She believes her talents are a gift from God and she has a responsibility to use them for His glory.
"I always have so much anxiety about it because I knew it wasn't coming from me, but I didn't know necessarily it was coming from God, or I didn't recognize it," Stefani explains, referring to her musical talents.
"But then I remember at a certain point in the last 10 years going, 'No.' Yet, God made this for me to do. And if I don't do it and share it, that's a sin,” she continues.
"And being able to accept that God chose me to do that is something that I've learned how to accept," she says.
Stefani then reveals that she is “the closest to God” when she “is doing music.” She wants people to see God in and through her.
“I want people to see God’s light through me,” she says. “I'm desperate for Him because I'm about ready to go on stage, and I'm not nervous, but I just want God to use me.”
“The only thing that’s important in life is your relationship with God,” Stefani continues. “Everything is from God. It’s a miracle!”
