Meet The Remnant - Mandy Blanton

Even if you don’t recognize her name, you definitely will recognize her voice! We’re so blessed to have Mandy as our worship leader because she’s an absolute powerhouse on vocals, but we’re even more blessed to have her as family and a sister in Christ! We’re so excited for you to know her better!

*How long have you been at The Remnant?

I have been at The Remnant since before we officially named it. It’s been such a blessing to see, what started out as a small group of believers and searching unbelievers coming together to hear The Gospel, become what it is today! I feel very humbled to even be a part.

*What brought you to The Remnant?

Honestly, when we started The Remnant I was the worship leader at what was, at the time, a bigger and more established church. As The Remnant we were meeting in the evenings I could do both, but God truly started nudging me to go to The Remnant full time. To step out in faith and make The Remnant my “home” solely. I was scared because I loved leading worship and they didn’t need a worship leader but I knew God was calling, so I answered…

*What is your current role at The Remnant?

The day I was obedient and left that church, was the day that God moved and I became the worship leader at The Remnant, and I’m still honored with that role today! We started off with just me and a keyboard and slowly built up to having this amazing team who has just picked up instruments and have said, “Here I am Lord! Use me!” I can easily tear up just thinking about it. God is so faithful!I’m also blessed to serve as the leader of our Lioness Arising women’s discipleship program, and as part of the steering team and connections team.

*How is God speaking to you lately? What is God teaching you?

God is just teaching me so much right now! One of the main things is that He’s showing me just how controlling and obstinate I can be in my heart. I never even saw it before! But once God shines His light into our “dark rooms” our eyes are opened and we see so clearly. It all stems from my own distrust from wounds I’ve had. In people, in leadership, and ultimately in God!He’s showing me just how faithful and “friend-able” He is, and He has made me so sensitive to the times I’m wanting to take control out of fear. He’s been calling me out of the boat and I’m walking. Step by step, knowing that if I go under, He’s right there to pick me up!
