1041. Pursuing Your Calling When No One Understand- Jovonta Patton

Jovonta Patton joins Lish Speaks to talk Choir Music, his unexpected Emmy nomination, and why he says, “I can’t afford disobedience.” This conversation gets into gospel music, trusting God’s voice, and pursuing your calling when other people don’t understand it. On this episode of I’ll Just Let Myself In, Jovonta shares why the choir remains essential to gospel music, what seasons of loss taught him about winning, and why he refuses to be embarrassed about promoting his own work. He and Lish talk about protecting relationships, staying out of gossip, and letting God choose the reward instead of forcing the next opportunity. There’s plenty of laughter, too. Jovonta opens up about fatherhood, reflects on interviewing Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and names dream collaborators including Lisa Knowles, Michelle Williams, and Smokie Norful. From choir rehearsals to “parking lot prophecy,” this is a conversation about faith, purpose, creativity, and having the courage to keep going. Learn more about your ad choices.
