Kari Jobe

When I think about The Blessing, I'm like, first of all, I don't ever wanna sing it because [laughs] I'm never gonna do it justice.

But it was a song that was written by Cody Carnes, Elevation Worship, Kari Jobe, and it came out in 2020, which makes perfect sense because I remember this song just blowing up at that time.

People just obsessed with this song.

I know I was.

And it finalizes this verse by saying, "And give you peace." Peace, as we know, is the word shalom.

Peace isn't merely, "I don't feel anxious today." It is a peace of wholeness, completeness, wellbeing.

And so they repeat that verse again, and then it's the amen, which is Kari Jobe just jumping up into the rafters.

So they keep repeating that phrase, at least that's-- And when I think about The Blessing, too, it makes me feel like it's two separate songs because the verses and the amens, um, feel very reverent.

Sorry, I misspoke.

Kari Jobe attended the Asbury revival to kind of check it out and wrote about it being a pure, humble, reverent, expectant woman kind of experience

I remember hearing a lot about the revival and all of that coming out of it so Asbury is where my current husband went to seminary a long time ago

my uncle lives pretty close to that area yeah yeah I just I find it interesting like I've liked some of her music and I don't know much about her just curious where she is at and whether I like sometimes I hear her songs and find them almost I'm like, I wish, I wish I could be more like that.

I write church music, so songs that you sing in church.

Some of them are songs that I've been a part of writing, and my wife does the same thing.

So we are married, and we both are often leading worship together, traveling the world together.

We have two boys.

He crafts things, you know, as, as beautiful as you can get them, you know? And, and I think, um, I think there's just a lot of connection there.

Um, and so, yeah, I think that naturally those, those conversations come up just having time in a cart with someone.

Um, you know, there's been a lot of rounds where I'll, I'll go spend time with a friend and, you know, my, my wife, I'll get home and she'll be like, what y'all talk about? And I'm like, uh, the next shot.

Yeah.

You can kinda tell when someone carries something.

I think Kari Jobe carries that.

Mm-hmm.

Purity in their voice.
