Where Faith Meets Purpose with Special Guest Renee Rollins
On this episode of The Vision TV Show, Pastor LeaAnn Pendergrass joins Tracey Armstrong, Destiny Yarbrough, Pastor Jearlyn Dennie and Day Gardner in welcoming Renee Rollins, a songwriter, psalmist and worship leader with a deep love for Israel. A connection with filmmaker Lisa Burkhardt Worley led her to contribute “There Are No Words” to the Holocaust documentary Their Blood Cries Out. Written as a lament, the song imagines the anguish of a person facing death while trusting that the Father sees and remembers. Renee believes Christians should support Israel and lovingly share the message of Yeshua. The hosts recount visiting Israel, praying with hostage families and meeting people open to Christian prayer and the gospel, including a guide who accepted Jesus. Rollins says her music honors Jewish tradition while helping listeners recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah. Worship acknowledging the Jewishness of Jesus also helps Christians understand their faith's roots. Her songs frequently use Hebrew names and biblical images. “Adonai” emerged after a remarkable medical experience involving a growth in her sphenoid sinus. Before surgery, Renee believed God had told her the growth would disappear; when she awoke, the physician reported that it was not there. She wrote the song as praise for divine healing and the voice of God that calls His people. Another composition centers on the Shekinah glory, expressing her desire for God's manifest presence to bring healing, restoration and miracles into individual lives and ministries. Rollins has not yet sung in Israel, but the hosts pray that the opportunity will open. A song she wrote for the documentary received recognition at the Near Nazareth Festival in Bethlehem, an honor she compares to winning a Dove Award. She describes writing Messianic songs with Dino Gilley after experiencing a powerful moment of worship in a Messianic Jewish congregation in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. That encounter deepened her desire to embrace biblical feasts, teach her children and grandchildren, and explore how Israel's spiritual heritage can lead worshipers into greater reverence for God. The conversation moves from Israel to holiness, worship and the Tabernacle of David. Destiny discerns a “key of David” over Rollins's ministry—an anointing to unlock worship for a new generation. Renee responds that the Tabernacle illustrates both God's holiness and the gospel: humanity cannot approach Him casually, yet Yeshua provides the one way to enter. She believes the present hour calls Christians to be set apart as a faithful remnant. The names of God matter in worship, she adds, because the Lord delights when His children call upon and praise Him personally. Renee also shares a second healing testimony. At a National Religious Broadcasters convention, Rabbi Kirt Schneider placed his hand on her and prayed without being told about her condition. She says she was healed of multiple sclerosis and returned the following year to tell him, strengthening his message that signs, wonders and the gospel can reach Jewish people. Even while living with myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular illness that can affect speech, Renee sees her ability to sing as a daily expression of God's sustaining grace. She continues to believe for further breakthrough and for strength each time she enters the studio. Renee presents “Yeshua, the Holy Promised One,” proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah foretold by the prophets, the healer, risen Son and promised King. Alveda King joins the hosts afterward and affirms that the song and Rollins's ministry are for this moment. Renee says worship has carried her through pain by reminding her that God remains close to the brokenhearted, thinks continually about His children and never sleeps. Her online work with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association likewise allows her to tell people around the world that Jesus loves them and is sufficient for every need. The episode closes by recognizing producer Michael Vigil's grief following his brother's death and dedicating the ministry of the song to him and to everyone experiencing loss. Renee Rollins speaks directly to those grieving a parent, facing illness, enduring marriage problems or mourning a death. She assures them that God sees their pain and invites viewers who do not know Jesus to receive Him. Her prayer asks Christ to draw near, take control and provide shalom peace. The program ultimately presents faith and purpose as inseparable: suffering can become worship, healing can become testimony, and a song rooted in Scripture can carry hope to Israel and to broken hearts everywhere.
