In this inspiring episode of The FOUND Podcast, Lorie Hartshorn sits down with Meisha Watson—media personality, producer, and founder of a faith-based media company—to talk about identity, calling, and bold obedience.

Meisha shares her remarkable journey from hosting YTV’s The Zone to walking away from secular media and launching HEY MEISHA!, a Christ-centered kids’ show. She opens up about the moment she left the church, the radical way God called her back, and how she’s learned to root her identity in Jesus—not in performance, success, or public validation.

They also explore her heart for singleness in ministry, the birth of her podcast My Single Story, and her passion for raising up faith-filled creatives who carry the message of Jesus into the media world with purpose and power.

🎧 If you're navigating a creative calling, wondering how to serve God in media, or learning to trust God in your identity and singleness—this conversation is full of wisdom, humor, and hope.
