Hi! My name is Bailey Riza. Along with my personal blog, I'm the co-founder of True Talk YXE with my sister, Briona. For the past many years, I've been a member of the Faith Alive Band and I am employed by Women's Journey of Faith in Saskatoon, where my husband, Nathan, and I live. As well as hanging out with friends and leading worship on the weekends, you can find me traveling to Nashville, TN where I write songs with the Rain Collective. I believe in Salvation through Jesus Christ and in the power of words. My greatest desire is to live from my heart for there is nothing great that has happened that didn't first begin in the heart.
