Lacey loves Jack and Arrow. Jack is three and Arrow is one, but both boys already have Mommy’s passion. Lacey is Josh’s wife and loves being a wife. Josh is Lacey’s biggest fan, after Jack and Arrow, of course. Their love looks like Play-Doh—it’s colorful, makes beautiful things, and expands the more it’s tinkered with.“Lacey stands at four feet eleven inches. But she possesses a voice five times that size. Its unmistakable passion, power, beauty, and grit make her impossible to ignore on the airwaves.
Lacey continues to do work with the BGEA as well as the Whosoever Movement, an organization she helped found with some of her closest friends from the rock music and extreme sports industries. The Whosoever Movement seeks to build and strengthen at-risk youth in local communities by using their collective passion for music, skateboarding, art, and today’s youth culture to creatively inspire people to stand together and work for change.
In 2000, Sturm began to play with drummer James Culpepper. The pair worked with guitarists Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann. In 2002, Pat Seals, Flyleaf's current bassist, joined, forming a group named Passerby. Due to legal reasons, they renamed themselves Flyleaf in June 2004.
On October 22, 2012, shortly before the release of New Horizons, Sturm revealed that she had amicably left Flyleaf. The album was nominated for the 2012 Rock Album of the Year Dove Award.
In an interview promoting her book The Reason: How I Discovered a Life Worth Living, Sturm explained that a primary reason for her leaving the band was the death of the band's sound engineer. The band performed one last show as a means to help the sound engineer's wife and child. This experience caused Sturm to consider her own son and wonder what she would do if she knew she had only one more year with him. "It was really amazing to recognize this season changing in my life and the freedom that I was gonna be able to focus on my family," Sturm said. "And although it was really hard, I'm thankful. And that's the reason I stepped down from Flyleaf."
On November 7, 2022, it was announced by Flyleaf that Sturm had returned to the band, with the band now calling themselves "Flyleaf with Lacey Sturm".

Lacey Sturm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A breathless chase has begun
I'm gonna let you in
Catch me I'm falling in love
Oh what have I done?
Love how you gamble your pride
Amazed how strong you are
And let me melt your heart
Will you always
Chase me like this?
Will time and space
Leave when we kiss?
Curses burning my tongue
I'm wondering if you're enough
I promised forever
Am I a liar?
Love oh what have I done?
Love how you gamble your pride
Amazed how strong you are
You risk looking in my eyes
And let me break your heart
Will you always
Chase me like this?
Will time and space
Leave when we kiss goodbye?
I was divided
My heart was so confused
My heart's a liar
And I used to know the truth
I have decided
I'm gonna follow through
I'm wanna gamble and fall in love with you
I hear your heartbeat
You're singing to me
Will you always
Chase me like this?
Will time and space
Leave when we kiss?
The song "Faith" by Lacey Sturm is an emotional ballad about falling in love and taking risks. The first verse sets the tone for the song with the lyrics, "Laughter tickles my tongue, A breathless chase has begun, I'm gonna let you in, Catch me I'm falling in love, Oh what have I done?" The singer is feeling joyous and playful, but also a little apprehensive about letting herself fall in love.
The second verse brings up the idea of taking risks in love, with the lyrics, "Love how you gamble your pride, Amazed how strong you are, You risk looking in my eyes, And let me break your heart." The singer is impressed by their partner's vulnerability, and although she is worried about hurting them, she is also willing to take a chance and open herself up to love.
The chorus repeats the questions, "Will you always, Chase me like this? Will time and space, Leave when we kiss?" suggesting that the singer is unsure whether this love will last, and asks her partner if they will continue to pursue her with the same intensity and passion that they are showing now.
The bridge of the song shows the singer's struggle to come to terms with her feelings, as she says, "I was divided, My heart was so confused, My heart's a liar, And I used to know the truth." She recognizes that her heart may not always tell her the truth, but ultimately decides to take the risk of falling in love and says, "I wanna gamble and fall in love with you."
Overall, "Faith" is a heartfelt song about taking chances in love and trusting in the power of connection to overcome doubts and fears.

3 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of tic-tac-toe. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one).
I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me.
The doctor said id never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life.
I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace.
I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse.
They blamed me for the abuse they did to me.
To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal.
Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them.
I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable.
I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills.
But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me.
The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along.
He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart.
HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME .
Jesus miraculously healed me — i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy.
I’m now a born again Christian, who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU
HE. LOVES. YOU.
Nuff said.

A person who is chasing another person around you pretty much are stalking them which can be a serious offence for example would you chase a woman around no because it's known as stalking and putting yourself out of a particular race where others can be very aware of the situation
Indus contents with realised that the individual person who is stalking and chasing a woman down made a mistake
Why would you change the woman down in the first place when you're the hold responsibility for Let Her Go for foolish arguments and unpronounceable behaviour
Towards a woman when she feels like she does not like this all you had a conversation and found out that you're interested in her is not really interesting anymore
So you trying to reach back to her by following and tracking her down internet information through other people which can be a serious category of stalking why would you go ahead and pursue this symmetrical away I'm stalking is not allowed stalking is like us talking on individual prayer and looking for the opportunity to pounce
Back into action and trying to be that hero would you used to be in her lyrics and what she's trying to explain
She's leading a person on into stalking

Still gives me goosebumps every listen… close my eyes, turn up the sound, and the chills come.

Saw her last night in concert at GameChanger World in Jersey. Her words before she sang this piece ... there are no words for the amount of truth she spoke. I was headbanging all night to all the music ... and then in the middle of the concert when it came to this piece... that's when I started crying for the remainder of the concert. Thank you, Lord, for Lacey, for her current band members on this Life Screams tour, for Flyleaf for helping me through so much in high school and college, and God bless her and her family. I will cherish last night forever.
Anahi Garcia
Amen.
Jason Alexander

Corey Medeiros

Amber Carter
Amen. Love the religious music. Spirituality satisfying 😌

I cant wait to meet her when we all get home. When I was in Afganistan I had 12 songs I would listen too, hers being a couple of them. After an IED/injury I went through a devilish process getting out of that country and she was always there when I had no body else in the world. I had no idea of the message she was trying to give but Thank God he put that music in my life. You guys know how therapeutic her music can be and she was the PERFECT balance. You guys stay Strong and OUR REDEEMER COMES VERY VERY SOON! Fill your lamos with oil and hold on :)

So True brother..

There shouldn't be a balance.. if that's what you're going for, you're serving 2 masters and that's impossible. That's means if you aren't fully serving the Lord, you're fully serving Satan. It's one or the other. You can't serve 2 masters. Set yourself apart from the wicked ways of the world and be peculiar.
