Penning the song with award-winning writers Jeff Pardo and Ethan Hulse, "Still Yours" is Kroger's response to the questions she presents throughout "No Filter," her debut single that was released last month from the upcoming project. "No Filter" is her hope-laced faith journey that God is still who He says He is while offering listeners the courage to question and seek God. 

 

It is Kroger's vulnerability that through her music, there is a hope to ignite the need for conversation around faith and doubt within the Church. It is her mission to assure the listeners that their doubts do not disqualify them from pursuing closeness with God. 

 

With "Still Yours," "No Filter" and the rest of the songs featured on A New Reality, Kroger creates to reach the silent strugglers, the closet doubters, and anyone who has felt alone in their spiritual battles. Throughout the new album, she shares, “I hope people feel encouraged to bring their imperfect, questioning, doubting selves to God. I want people to be reminded of the beauty of His presence in the world. He’s more real than we can comprehend."

 

ABOUT SARAH KROGER: Sarah Kroger is a GMA Dove Award®-nominated artist, songwriter, and worship leader. With her previously released albums Your Time (2011), Hallelujah Is Our Song (2013), Bloom (2019), Light (2020), and London Sessions (2023), her latest project, A New Reality, is out May 17, 2024 (Integrity Music). 

 

With parents involved in worship ministry, Kroger’s love for music was sparked at a young age, but the impact of bullying coupled with her struggle with anxiety and shyness hid her musical talents for years. Everything changed when she met Jesus in an intimate encounter through worship at a youth conference; “Worship became my language with God,” she explains. “It allowed me to communicate with the Lord in a way I hadn’t experienced before…it opened my heart.” 

 

Realizing music was a gift she desired to give back to the Lord, she began leading worship around the world, drawing people from a variety of cultures and church backgrounds under the banner of Jesus. With a passion for creating a safe and prayerful space through her music, her focus has always been an authentic portrayal of her relationship with God. 

 

With A New Reality, it is her hope that people will come away knowing that it’s ok to question, to pull on the string and enable the unraveling to happen, knowing there is One who is gently mending the tangled threads back together into a beautiful, reconstructed tapestry. 

 

Woven with contemplative songs that expose honest vulnerability along with corporate worship songs that express the magnificence of God, the entire collection offers new ways to see suffering, questions, and silence as building blocks for a new faith—one that is stronger because of the struggle. Sarah Kroger brings listeners into that newness by helping us all ponder the mystery of God, rest in the wonder, and see that questions are a sacred path to a new reality.
