REBECCA ST JAMES recently took part in an international online chat on the internet where she fielded dozens of questions from fans around the world. Here are the highlights.

I don't think it's impossible. P.O.D. have proven that. They are true to their message and are hugely popular. I love how they have been true to their cause. But I don't think God has called too many people to that place, of being in both secular and Christian music. In order to do that, and stay faithful to God, I think you have to be called - like P.O.D. have been. What I feel called to do is to share about the hope of Jesus to anyone who will listen. So, if one of my songs were to be played on secular radio, I would think that was great. It has happened a few times, but as of yet, not a whole lot - but we'll see!

Did you ever have severe doubts in your faith?

I've definitely been through hard times in my faith, but I wouldn't call them "severe" doubts. That sounds like you want to give up. I know I would never give up. But, I have definitely been through hard times where I cry out to God, and ask him "Where are you in this, and what are you doing?"

Do you find those times frustrating?

More painful than anything. I think God grows us through those times, and grows our trust in him, so it causes our faith to be rooted deeper.
