We recently connected with Honey Ribar and have shared our conversation below.
Honey, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
I’m an artist in recovery and I can tell you the #1 decision I ever made was giving my life to Christ. He removed the burden, He took the fear, and He allowed me to LIVE. The Lord knows what you’re going through. He created and designed us knowing where we would serve our purpose in this world. We were placed here, at this moment, in this time, in HIS-tory for a reason. What you are going through is not in vain, and You yourself can use the hardships AND triumphs your are experiencing for the glory of God and for the betterment of yourself. We learn & grow through pain, and after the pain we find the joy!
My question for you: When is the last time you’ve talked to God?
“Have you felt all the pain that I’m in? Do you carry the weight of my sin?” were the two questions I woke up with on Thursday, March 9th, before going into the studio to record. I too have fear, doubts, questions… and I ask Him for the answers. This song was His answer. Every word, every melody, I truly give to God. And His response to my questions… YES!
Have faith and know that the creator of all eternity is walking with you. Every step of the way. 🤍

Honey has been a busy bee over the past year. She was recently nominated into the Recording Academy, was considered in numerous categories, and has been writing and recording a lineup of fresh, new music. A few months after the pandemic hit, Honey’s struggle with addiction had taken a positive turn when she decided to get sober. While in recovery, Honey spent time writing and focusing on the 8 dimensions of wellness, in which she was able to process her emotions and dig deeper into the root of her pain and past trauma.

Her single “Look Up” received radio play on Amazing Radio’s UK Station and has been featured on Spotify’s discover weekly, along with her recent singles “Heaven Take Me” “Oh Lawd” and “Yes You Do”.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Jesus is the reason! To spread His message. He saved my life.
I was an addict, suffered from eating disorders and lived my daily life in self loathing patterns.
Because of Him,I am continuing the journey my heart has always sought, it has just taken a turn for the better by making Him the main focus and spreading the message of love, self acceptance, and perseverance.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Pointing more hearts to the Lord. When I discovered His love, I no longer felt alone. I know that is a huge thing for our world right now… feeling alone. When we feel supported, loved, like we belong… we no longer fear being alone and no longer turn to vices to escape. Instead, we turn to the power that is greater and are able to fulfill our life’s mission.
