Nichole Nordeman
Nichole described to Tracey her perfectionist tendencies and how God is working to show her that He is always in control.
Nichole appears on the cover of the latest edition of CCM with half of her face with make-up applied, and the other half appears natural. Dave asks Nichole why she chose to do that and what the significance is.
Nichole said she was concerned about the "glam" image that is portrayed to those listening to her music. She interviewed other artists, both male and female, for their perspective on the issue.
