Rising Christian artist Emerson Day is inspiring believers everywhere with her powerful story of surrender and calling. Before she was known for her worship hit "Get Behind Me," Day was preparing for a completely different career - in law enforcement.
In a recent interview with Crosswalk.com, Day shared how she was on track to join the police force before God redirected her path. "I thought I knew what my life would look like," she explained. "But when God called me into music, I couldn't ignore it. I had to follow His lead."
That decision changed everything. What started as small performances at her local church soon became a growing ministry. Day began writing her own worship songs, including the breakout single "Get Behind Me," a song that encourages listeners to stand firm in faith even when faced with fear or doubt. The single has since reached Christian radio charts and earned Day a Dove Award nomination, marking her as one of the most promising new voices in the worship scene.
As the 2026 Grammy Awards approach, the Christian music world is filled with headlines about nominations and performances - but Day's story stands out for its message of obedience over ambition. Her journey reminds believers that God's plans often look different from our own, yet always lead to something greater.
Now touring nationwide and writing new music, Emerson Day continues to share her testimony through heartfelt worship. "My story isn't about leaving something behind," she said. "It's about walking toward what God had waiting for me all along."
