I tell them to utilize their social and natural supports (hobbies, church, family) to help them cope," reflects the touring musician and practicing psychotherapist.
I woke up one morning feeling overwhelmed and stressed myself and I decided to take my own advice and use the things that make me happy in order to combat my own stress. I started singing and thinking about Jesus. I hummed this tune and stuck with me all day," shares Hoskins about his latest and riveting single, `Make It With Jesus.'
He adds, "My hope is that the relief I felt after singing it translates to others and it can be a healing tool in some way."

He realizes that even on his best day and in his best strength, he is still unworthy of the favor that God has granted. Hoskins concludes, "People have shared with me that my song 'Make It With Jesus' has resonated with them even more so given the significant changes, loss and trauma we have collectively experienced," he states. "As one of the first COVID-19 cases in NC, this song had to come alive for me. AND IT DID!"
