Artist Introduction: Lanae Hale

Her unique voice (and I’m not just saying that—you’ve got to hear this girl! I liken her voice to wisps of cotton candy that somehow turn into deep, rich dark chocolate, all wrapped up in something resembling an Irish lilt) is housed in a sweet, vivacious young woman who spreads sunshine into every corner of the room, whether she’s talking to you one-on-one or singing one of her intricate songs.

Your girls may relate to her past: she was a cutter who suffered from depression and described herself as “a shell of a person.” But she overcame. Despite growing up in the church, it wasn’t until she experienced the healing and grace of God that she actually embraced His love for her. She told me that she used to sincerely believe that God could love everyone—except her.

I’m pretty sure most girls have felt like they’re not good enough to be loved at one time or another. Disbelief that God’s love actually includes them is not uncommon for students. Connecting with this down-to-earth gal who’s walked through that may give them some insight into an all-too-common problem. So if you’re looking for a worship leader with a heart for girls and their struggles to lead worship at a retreat, girls’ event, DiscipleNow, or whatever you’ve got going on, check out Lanae here. We think you’ll like her. :)
