SHOW NOTES Episode Title: When the Music Stopped Nightlight with RTTBROS Episode Description: Tonight on Nightlight, we look at the life of Ira Sankey, the great gospel singer who couldn't see what God was doing until everything fell apart. If you've ever been in a season where nothing made sense and the path forward was hidden, this practical biblical wisdom from Proverbs 3 is for you. We dig into what it really means to trust God with your whole heart, and why leaning on your own understanding has a ceiling that God's wisdom never hits. This is bible wisdom daily for anyone who needs a reminder that God hasn't lost the plot on your story.

He had no idea that within just a few years, he would become the most famous gospel singer in the world, traveling alongside D.L. Moody, leading thousands to Christ in revival meetings across America and England. Ira Sankey's greatest chapter hadn't ended. It hadn't even started…
