My guest for The Happy Hour #347 is Jonas Myrin. Originally from Sweden, Jonas Myrin is a Grammy and Billboard Music award-winning singer, songwriter and producer. If you think you’ve never heard his work, there’s a good chance you have! He’s made an incredible impact with several chart-topping songs, including “10,000 Reasons” with Matt Redman. Jonas currently resides in Los Angeles where he continues working on music.

Y’all. This is probably one of my favorite interviews we’ve done this year, and I am so excited to share it with you. In this episode, Jonas tells us about life as a missionary kid and what brought him to the States, the meaning of success as a follower of Christ, and learning to be his true-self as a believer within the music industry. Jonas also shares about unexpectedly losing his dad to COVID-19 earlier this year, and the beautiful moment when he led his dad in worship as he left this earth and met his Maker. We have all experienced our own kinds of grief and loss this year, and it can feel so overwhelming to make sense of it and feel peace through such a difficult time. But Jonas worded it so perfectly – he says, “Even in loss, even in going through the darkest night, God is still there. And He wants to be there with you in the darkness.” I don’t normally get emotional during interviews, but this one definitely had me holding back a tear. I’m so honored that Jonas was willing to share his story with us today, and remind us that even in darkness, God is still there. Check out his new song Just a Breath Away (Noel) wherever you stream music!
