Echo Spring 2021 - 19

Over an 11-year career in
music, current LBC | Capital
online student Holly Starr has
embarked on national tours,
recorded five albums and had
two Top 25 Christian radio
singles.
Like Keener, current LBC | Capital online student and
recording artist Holly Starr has used her music to
serve throughout her 11-year career, national tours, five
albums, two Top 25 Christian radio singles- " Don't
Have Love " and " Through My Father's Eyes " -and a
movement she began to support widowed women.
" I love the capability of music because it is a gentle
way to introduce Christ to those who don't know Him,
as well as a powerful tool to encourage those who
have been walking with Jesus, " says Starr. " Getting the
opportunity to lead people to remember or know who
God is, is one of the greatest gifts of my life. Music has
been a great tool to use with this goal in mind. "
Starr has witnessed God work through her music in
many ways, including in an ambulance. A few years
ago, as a man faced a life-threatening situation, the
paramedic treating him witnessed to him. In fact, the
paramedic not only led her patient to Christ through her
words but also through a Holly Starr song she played
for him. The man accepted Christ, and Starr was later
astounded when the paramedic contacted her and told
the story of her patient's near-death experience and the
role Starr's song played.
" I'm completely honored and humbled by the times
God has chosen to use my life as a vehicle for His
presence in other people's lives, " Starr shares.
Starr has a specific passion for widows, and she has
used her platform to help those in need of comfort.
" I make necklaces to help mobilize people to reach
out to widows and those who may be going through
difficulties in their community of influence, " says Starr
about her project, TheYesNecklace.com.
Starr discovered and enrolled in LBC | Capital's online
studies in 2021. Although she has pursued a career in
music, Starr has a desire to deepen her knowledge of
the Bible and its teachings.
" I am hoping that I can come to the table with more
substance to offer in conversation with people, " says
Starr. " There has always been beauty in the simplicity
of the gospel alone, but I also see how that simplicity
is even more astonishing when painted against the
backdrop of biblical history. I find God's grace to be
even more beautiful when I understand the history
that led us to it. "
