That they would use such a powerful message to teach my daughters to stand up for them selves and to be themselves no matter what nearly brought me to tears. The respect that I had for the Young Women’s leaders working with my daughter also shot way up for their choosing such a powerful song as a theme for teaching the young women in our congregation. “Brave” immediately shot to the top of my list of favorite Hymns of Social Justice. I asked her how it went and she said that the theme for this year’s camp was going to be a song called “Brave.” I was curious so I looked the song up and watched the official music video on Youtube. My daughter had just come home from a meeting at our Church where she was helping to plan the annual summer young women’s camp out. SO I had never heard of Sara Bareilles or her song “Brave” until a few weeks ago. Most of what I listen to was recorded from the mid 1960’s to the mid to early 1990’s. "The staff put together this video that was very similar to the music video of 'Brave' and it's heart wrenching and gorgeous and beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time…It's a message I'm so happy to be the voice for.I admit, I’m old, and my music tastes generally align with my age.
"There's a video that's kind of gone viral online of a children's cancer ward in Minnesota," she said. There's empowerment, and then there's something more - the idea that a song has the power to truly touch someone's life. Since releasing the Blessed Unrest single back in April, Bareilles has entertained a steady stream of fans stopping to share their own "Brave" stories.

"The messaging of the song felt anthemic to me personally," Bareilles said of the song, which she wrote not only for her friend, but also as a way to address her own demons.
