Franni Rae, singer/songwriter for We The Kingdom, has publicly announced that she will be leaving band after the rest of their live performances in 2023.

A vast number of fans were saddened by this announcement since Franni has been with the band since the beginning.

“God has been prompting a change of seasons in my heart and I will be honoring that.” | Franni Rae

Franni says that she excited for her for her family to just be family again. Can you imagine being in a band with your family? I can’t even imagine the stresses that come with that. They must plan tours before they can even plan thanksgiving dinner. And as many are sad, they understand that Franni just like all of us has to follow God’s call to move forward or to step back.

There is a Bible story in Acts about Paul and Barnabas. After a season of doing ministry together, they eventually separated. (Acts 15:36-41 NLT)

Even though this situation is completely different circumstances, the bottom line here is that life comes in seasons.

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” | Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

I’m in a season right now where I’m far away from my family for my job. And even though it’s hard sometimes, I know God has called me where I am. Maybe you’re in a difficult season or you’re at a crossroads for a decision that can impact your life.

What Franni did is impressive because it takes strength to follow the will of God for your life when it doesn’t please everyone.

My prayer for Franni is that she would find rest and that God would bless her wherever she goes. My prayer for you is that you follow God’s calling and know that He is with you wherever you go!
