Jeremy Holloway, a Ph.D. candidate in the Judith Herb College of Education at The University of Toledo, has released a worship album featuring 12 original songs. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo More Delay\u201d became available July 4 on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud and Google Play.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The title track was inspired by his sister, Tiffanie.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018No More Delay\u2019 came to me after witnessing my sister\u2019s battle with diabetes at such a young age,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cShe lost the ability to walk and was in and out of the hospital for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s at a point when you\u2019re broken, when you have nothing left\/ When you\u2019re crying and can no longer see\/ God tells the angels, \u2018Do you hear my child? That’s my little baby\/ Now no more delay. Send her a story of hope\/ A story of goodness, a story of grace\/ And let it ring for all time.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Holloway\u2019s sister temporarily lost her vision due to diabetes, which adds to the emotion and real strength of the lyrics.<\/p>\n

Being moved by music \u2014 many genres of music \u2014 is something Holloway has experienced from an early age.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 17, I was into grunge and wanted to play the guitar, and I learned to play the guitar after watching Kurt Cobain in Nirvana perform on MTV,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

At age 18, Holloway became a Christian and started to play the guitar and sing in church. He volunteers on the worship team at Calvary Church in Maumee, and he recently was a worship leader at Intersection Church in Oregon, Ohio.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Holloway<\/p><\/div>\u201cI love playing music, but I also really enjoy writing songs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Holloway decided to record the disc after meeting Glenn Scott, who used to be a manager for the Beach Boys for more than 20 years. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe met here in Toledo at church, and he graciously opened up his studio for me to record this album. I regard it as truly a blessing,\u201d Holloway said.<\/p>\n

Other individuals who performed on \u201cNo More Delay\u201d are Brandon Michael (spoken word poet), Evan Gilligan (spoken word poet), Jared Robison (guitar), Reagan Patterson (vocals) and UToledo student Kayla McCraney (vocals). The album was produced by Glenn and September Scott. <\/p>\n

Holloway\u2019s gratitude is evident on the disc, especially in the song, \u201cEverything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Everything\u2019 is a reminder to me,\u201d he said, singing the lyrics, “I don’t have the right to complain all the time\/ I don’t have the right to a negative mind\/ I don’t\/ I don’t have the right, even if I think I might\/ Because you gave me everything\/ You gave me a song to sing.” <\/p>\n

He smiled and said, \u201cI remember how good life is and how wonderful God is in my life. And I remember, I try not to complain because I\u2019ve been given so much.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to encourage my listeners to see God\u2019s goodness in their lives as well,\u201d Holloway added. \u201cIt is one of my goals to link my passion with my purpose and connect others, as this is the true educational experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The native of Toledo is a second generation Rocket; his parents, Tyrone and Delores Holloway, are both graduates of the University. Holloway received a bachelor of arts degree in Spanish and a bachelor of education degree from UToledo in 2005. He taught Spanish at area schools and graduated from the University in 2014 with a master\u2019s degree in English as a second language. <\/p>\n

Last year, Holloway published a book, \u201cGod Wants You to Smile Today: 25 Epiphanies of God\u2019s Goodness \u2014 Secrets to Living With Radical Peace, Joy and Hope.\u201d And in 2017, he was honored with the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award, which recognizes Toledo community members 39 or younger who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities.<\/p>\n
