Girlfriends (A Podcast for Catholic Women)
God Interrupted Her Pop Star Dreams
This week, I’m joined by Cristina Bernal — former MTV pop artist turned Catholic worship leader. Cristina’s story is one you won’t forget: early success with LAX Girls, brushes with fame and the music industry’s dark side, and a profound conversion that led her to leave it all behind and say yes to what God had planned for her.
In this candid and inspiring conversation, Cristina shares:
* Her early music career and rise to fame as a teen pop star
* The moment her 10-year-old sister called her out, and changed everything
* A chilling industry demand that became a wake-up call
* A late-night encounter with the moon and a powerful baptism in the Holy Spirit
* How she rediscovered her Catholic faith and began using her voice for worship
* Her current work as a wife, mother, and Catholic recording artist with Novum Records
Cristina is now a wife, mom of two (with one on the way!), and a passionate cantor and worship leader, creating new music to help Catholics enter more deeply into the Mass.
Don’t miss this breathtaking story of surrender, identity, healing, and how God can use everything — even pop music — for his glory.
