Tasha Layton Holds NOTHING Back on Mental Health & the Church

This week on 'Worship Is My Weapon,' Rita sits down with Tasha Layton. Tasha opens up about her struggles with the church, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and how her healing journey led to a deep, abiding relationship with God. Looking back on her experience - from growing up leading worship to randomly trying out for American Idol and singing background vocals for Katy Perry - Tasha sees the hand of God moving through it all.
