Episode 173 | Jordan St. Cyr talks about our Foundation
On today's show, we chat with two - time guest, Jordan St. Cyr! It was when Jordan St. Cyr was a teen and served with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) that he found the inspiration to pursue music as a career. He eventually released an EP, and in the years that have followed, he has released more music and has received numerous life-changing opportunities to work alongside many talented songwriters, producers, and artists, all of whom have encouraged him along his journey. From playing numerous events of all sizes and meeting people from many different walks of life, humanity\u2019s deep desire for meaningful connection has been revealed to him and the hope to find something more vibrant than our current reality.
\nSt. Cyr dropped his first full-length self-titled album in the spring of 2022 with Seattle-based label, BEC Recordings. The project features the chart-climbing radio hits "Fires" and "Weary Traveler" - both of which offer a pursuit of hope, even in our darkest moments, to know that God gives us stories to share and encourage one another through our fires and weary travels, to give us strength in the midst of them. And it was \u201cFires\u201d that quickly put St. Cyr on the map, hitting the airwaves on major networks and stations for nearly 18 months straight and reaching millions weekly and going top 5. \u201cWeary Traveler\u201d followed, which also became his first No. 1 hit single, taking the top spot on all radio charts.
\n2022 continued to be an astounding year for St. Cyr. He became a two-time GMA Dove Awards nominee, being recognized for Best New Artist and for Short-Form Video Of The Year ("Weary Traveler\u201d), followed by sweeping the GMA Canada Covenant Awards with six wins, the most out of any other nominees and adding to his already five Covenant Award wins. He was recognized as Artist of the Year, Album and Male Vocalist of the Year along with Best Pop Song, Live Music Artist, and AC Artist of the Year.
\nWhile he continues to create music and tour, Jordan St. Cyr is really just getting started.
\nWe have to build our life on something, if we don\u2019t we will fall. Jordan St. Cyr\u2019s sophomore album, My Foundation, resonates with those building their foundation on solid rock. He speaks through personal experiences that touch the hearts of all who have weathered storms.\xa0
\n\u201cThe idea of my foundation has never been physical,\u201d Jordan explains. \u201cIt\u2019s always been this understanding of God as my heavenly Father; being the foundation on which I build my life on and the home I get to participate in building with Him for my wife and kids.\u201d
\nWith all that Jordan has experienced the last few years, he praises the Lord for the outcome, \u201cI now rejoice for all the gifts He gave us through the process.\u201d 'My Foundation' is out today!
