January 2026 Newsletter

What a deeply impactful year it has been! In March, I confronted the overwhelming diagnosis of cancer, yet amidst the uncertainty, I discovered strength through collaboration, co-writing “Gaining the Victory” with Dr. Mike Baldock  for his ministry podcast,  “Gaining the Victory Ministries” . April brought the realities of surgery, followed by radiation in early August, moments that tested my resilience. Yet, through it all, I found joy in celebrating the release of “Gaining the Victory,” and I created a website,  Artist’s Facebook Page , and  Artist’s Facebook Group   to connect and share my music ministry with others. I also ventured into  @lisacarriemarie"> TikTok ,  X ,  Instagram , and I was a part of the  Trackstarz Leaks   for new emerging artists of all genres. I begin competing in a battle of the bands from all over the globe on  My Music Battles , I started using WhatsApp to communicate with radio station DJs in the UK, I crafted an  Official Me Page   and  Be Heard Page   complete with a Radio player. Joining the  HolyArise  Christian music streaming platform and establishing my  Indie Gospel Net  profile marked a significant turning point, leading to my inclusion in their  Radio Station . I became a proud member of  ASCAP ,  ISSA ,  CGM Inc. ,  TuneCore , and  Sound Exchange , embracing every opportunity that came my way. To my humble surprise, “Gaining the Victory” garnered a nomination for song of the year by the  Elite Music Awards , and I found my voice resonating with nearly 30  radio stations  worldwide, alongside over 50 online streaming platforms.
I had the privilege of participating in several live interviews and podcasts on radio stations and YouTube channels in both the US and the UK, a truly new experience for me. As 2025 comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude for my miraculous healing from metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma and for the preservation of my voice, a precious gift from Jesus Himself. This past year, despite the trials of  my cancer journey , has been abundant with blessings. I look forward to 2026 with hope, taking on new bookings and planning trips to award shows and conventions. My heart is full of optimism for what the Lord has in store for my music ministry and the new paths it may carve for me.

Just announced on December 31, 2025, that I made it to the top 10 finalist on the
globe in the World Songwriting Awards  competition for “Gaining the Victory”.
Here is my official certificate of recognition.
Praise be to Jesus!
