We had the good fortune of connecting with Aisha Maness and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Aisha, what inspires you?
I know this is a such a peculiar answer but I’m Inspired by Healing. It’s such a journey and a pursuit. I love how God can take a someones broken pieces and bring them back together but he also allows us to see something completely new about that person. Healing is apart of the human experience and it’s painful but incredibly beautiful.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Dear Insecure Worship Leader was given to me as book and every chapter was going to be dedicated as another lesson learned. DIWL is a resource for Worship Leaders who need answers to uncomfortable questions. Its a safe space for those who deal with insecurities and desire to lead and Lead “Whole and Well”. The Wellness Clinic for Worship Leaders and Worshippers has become and extension of that. Its been my goal to treat as an actually clinic. Its a 2-3 day intensive where Worshipers gather and receive impartation and healing. I also love to support other ministries or Worship Leader Platforms so I try to do my best to create a space for them that weekend. I have always had a heart for the broken, those that are finding their voice or maybe new to Worship Leading. There are a lot of challenges that I’ve faced as a Worship Leader and in serving the local body and I felt like I had no one to turn to. It wasn’t just “Church Hurt” I had a lot trauma from my own life that I had to work through while leading Worship. There is a better way to led and it doesn’t have to be hard.
The Wellness Clinic for Worship Leaders and Worshippers is coming back in 2025 and I’m looking forward to the hearts being revived. It’s nothing like leaving a conference or a retreat and and you’re refreshed and excited to do all that God has called you to do. It’s the best feeling in the world. I’m honored that I get to provide a small space for people to receive from Jesus, in that way.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There are so many people who have poured into me and encouraged me over the years. I would fail immensely If I began to try and thank everyone. Two people in particular I could thank is my husband Khalif, he has allowed me to bloom. Everything I have brought to him he has prayed with me and took huge leaps of faith with me. He is my person and Im so grateful for him. Also, God he’s giving me strength to walk in my authenticity.
