Formed by members of the musical Cash family, We The Kingdom has invited listeners deeper into God’s healing love and grace with songs like “Holy Water,” “Child of Love” and “God So Loved.” But for Franni, experiencing that grace came before singing about it.While growing up surrounded by the musical ventures of her father and uncle, Franni also grew up with her own experiences of ministry — and her own struggles with mental health. In this especially vulnerable and honest conversation on Trevor Talks, Franni reveals that after enduring a situation of religious abuse, she struggled with self-harm, depression, and anxious, intensely self-critical thoughts. She talks about her own process of discovering healthy, grace-filled rhythms that steady her soul. Franni Rae Cash Cain just celebrated a year of marriage, and recently released Live At Ocean Way Nashville with We The Kingdom.
