New Jobe album out soon
For more than 15 years, Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God.
GRAMMY-nominated and renowned worship leader Kari Jobe will be releasing her third studio album titled The Garden in February.
This album follows the highly acclaimed live project Majestic that produced the hit singles Forever and I Am Not Alone. The Garden was written and recorded during a season of pain and loss for Jobe’s family.
“This album was written out of experiencing God’s closeness, goodness and mercy even through a season of great loss for my family. He can redeem any situation we are going through. I was reminded of His desire for intimate, real relationship with us, as He had originally designed in the Garden of Eden. If we look up and around us, we will realise that God has been tending to the details of our hearts and souls throughout our entire lives.
He is much like a gardener, knowing what to prune and what seeds to sow that will grow in the due season and be life-giving to us. The Garden is all about seeing the beauty and kindness of God in the midst of difficulties. He’s not distant or disconnected from our pain; in fact, He’s been right here the whole time, turning ashes into beauty,” said Jobe.

Working with producer Jeremy Edwardson (Jesus Culture, Hillsong United, Jon Foreman), she also co-wrote with her husband and worship leader, Cody Carnes, Brooke Fraser Ligertwood, Martin Smith, Jason Ingram and many other worship leader friends.
“I believe with all of my heart that we have been put on this earth for such a time as this – to fulfil God’s heart for mankind and bring salvation and hope to the world through the message of the cross of Jesus Christ,” she said. She went on to explain: “We are the church, and I pray that we would long for God’s presence to fall afresh on us and fill the atmosphere with His glory and wonder in greater measure. Let’s not stay in places of disappointment or offence when things don’t look like what we prayed for. Let’s lift our voices in faith. Let’s trust that He is good. Let’s stand united, singing as the bride Jesus is longing to return for so that His Kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
For more than 15 years, Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God. When she began leading worship at age 13, she never imagined she would be nominated for a Grammy, win multiple Dove Awards or be praised by the New York Times.
After being established as a well-respected worship leader with her Dove Award-winning, self-titled debut, Jobe released her follow-up album, Where I Find You, which earned Jobe her first Grammy nomination.
