Episode 168 | Sarah Kroger talks on a New Reality

On today's episode, we chat with 2 time guest, Sarah Kroger! Sarah Kroger is a GMA Dove Award®-nominated artist, songwriter, and worship leader. With her previously released albums Your Time 2011 , Hallelujah Is Our Song 2013 , Bloom 2019 , Light 2020 , and London Sessions 2023 , her latest project, A New Reality, is out May 17, 2024 (Integrity Music).With parents involved in worship ministry, Kroger’s love for music was sparked at a young age, but the impact of bullying coupled with her struggle with anxiety and shyness hid her musical talents for years. Everything changed when she met Jesus in an intimate encounter through worship at a youth conference; “Worship became my language with God,” she says. “It allowed me to communicate with the Lord in a way I hadn’t experienced before...it opened my heart.”Realizing music was a gift she desired to give back to the Lord, she began leading worshiparound the world, drawing people from a variety of cultures and church backgrounds under the banner of Jesus. With a passion for creating a safe and prayerful space through her music, her focus has always beenan authentic portrayal of her relationship with God.Now with the songs found on A New Reality, she is oering her most deeply personal and introspective yet, showcasing vulnerability, questioning, doubt, mystery, and belief. She hopes that listeners will come away knowing that it’s ok to question, to pull on the string and enable the unraveling to happen, knowing there is One who is gently mending the tangled threads back together into a beautiful, reconstructed tapestry.“I hope people hear the faith in this record along with the wrestling. I hope people feel encouraged to bring their imperfect, questioning, doubting selves to God,” she shares. “I want people to be reminded of the beauty of His presence in the world. He’s more real than we can comprehend. The truth this project continues to reveal to me is that despite the ups and downs of life, I can choose to believe that I’m still His.” sarahkroger.com @skroger christianmusicguys.com @christianmusicguys
