Nicole C. Mullen: Turning Pain into Praise and Choosing What’s Right, No Matter the Cost

In an age when celebrity faith can feel polished and rehearsed, gospel powerhouse Nicole C. Mullen is stripping away the veneer to reveal something far more raw—and real. The award-winning artist behind timeless anthems like “My Redeemer Lives” has traded the microphone for the pen, releasing her deeply personal new book, “It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing.” In it, Mullen opens the door to her soul, revisiting the valleys that shaped her, the faith that sustained her, and the courage it takes to walk upright in a world that rewards compromise.

Mullen’s reflections are both vulnerable and victorious. “None of us gets to live on the mountaintop forever,” she shares. “We all face valleys—but even there, Christ walks with us.” Her words pulse with authenticity as she describes life’s rhythm—the rise and fall between joy and heartbreak, triumph and trial. Drawing from her own pain, she paints a portrait of faith that refuses to fade in the dark. “Without those hard seasons,” she says, “there’s no backdrop for Christ to shine.”

For Mullen, honesty isn’t weakness—it’s worship. In her book, she confronts failure, loss, and disillusionment with grace, reminding readers that integrity is not about perfection but persistence. “I wanted to be honest about where I’ve failed and where Christ has triumphed,” she explains. “It’s in those moments that I’ve seen His light the brightest.” Through every chapter, her message is clear and compelling: do what is right, even when it hurts, because that’s where redemption begins.

Nicole C. Mullen’s voice—whether sung or written—continues to echo with timeless truth: pain is not the end of the story; it’s often the beginning of praise. Her life and words remind us that in every valley, faith is not a song to be performed but a path to be walked—with courage, conviction, and Christ at the center.
