Spoken word poetry isn’t just art—it’s a way of telling the truth about who God is and who we are. In this episode of the Courageous Girls podcast, Terra Mattson sits down with Hosanna, a spoken word artist, author, and passionate voice for identity in Christ. From growing up on the streets of San Francisco to sharing her viral poem I Have a New Name, Hosanna shows us how God meets us in unexpected places and speaks His life-giving names over us.
Together, we explore:
🔹 The roots of spoken word and why storytelling matters for faith and identity.
🔹 Hosanna’s powerful testimony of finding God in loss, doubt, and unexpected places.
🔹 Why our daughters (and us as moms) desperately need God’s voice to be louder than lies.
🔹 How her new children’s book helps families declare truth at bedtime, in hard moments, and everywhere in between.
Hosanna reminds us that identity isn’t something we earn—it’s something we receive. Let’s raise daughters who know God’s voice above all others and walk in the courage of who He says they are.
