When you wait for years for an answer to prayer it’s easy to get discouraged. The Band Jaren is fronted by two sisters, Jaren- lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, and Jade- who sings and plays electric violin. These super-talented young women started playing music before they started school. Now, at ages 20 and 19, they have an unusual clarity about the call on their lives. Their passion is to play music that brings wandering hearts to Jesus. It’s a prayer their mom, Sonya, has been praying for decades. Answers to those prayers have come in the most surprising ways.

Tarn Cross believes God has hard-wired us for adventure. When Tarn and her husband Matt had a young family in Australia, they began to grow restless.

Within days of arriving, they realized what they thought would be an adventure was actually going to require radical faith and trust. Today Tarn is a leader who has traveled the world speaking and helping people discover their God-given identity and purpose.
