  • Wendy Palau shoulders a burden for the brokenhearted, born out of her own experience of loneliness, pain, and loss. While raised in a loving home on the island of Jamaica, her heart sought fulfillment and peace in all the wrong places.

    At 25 years of age, God radically changed her life, and she found the true joy she had been longing for. She and her husband, Andrew, have since dedicated their lives to sharing this message of hope with the world.

  • Rachael Lampa first entered Christian music as a teenager with her chart-topping debut and powerhouse voice. After a break to help start a Nashville nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness, she returned with a renewed passion for writing about identity, worth, and God’s love.

    Her recent songs—including the hit “Perfectly Loved” and the personal anthem “Superpowers”—reflect that journey. Today, Rachael continues to use her music to lift up others and point them to the heart of God.
